Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. It involves a range of treatments and procedures designed to enhance the aesthetics of your teeth and boost your confidence.
Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Teeth Whitening
- In-Office Whitening: A professional bleaching process that offers immediate results, making your teeth several shades whiter in just one session.
- At-Home Whitening Kits: Custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel provided by your dentist for use at home.
Dental Veneers
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain that cover the front surface of the teeth to improve appearance. They are durable and resistant to staining.
- Composite Veneers: Made from tooth-colored resin, these are less expensive than porcelain veneers and can be applied in a single visit.
Dental Bonding
- Tooth-Colored Resin: Applied to teeth to correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. It is a quick and cost-effective solution.
Dental Crowns
- Caps for Teeth: Used to restore the shape, size, and strength of a tooth. Crowns are ideal for teeth that are broken, worn down, or severely decayed.
Orthodontic Treatments
- Braces: Traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces help align teeth and correct bite issues.
- Clear Aligners: Invisalign and other brands offer a discreet way to straighten teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires.
Dental Implants
- Permanent Tooth Replacement: Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that match your natural teeth.
Gum Contouring
- Gum Reshaping: Corrects a “gummy” smile by removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Tooth Contouring and Reshaping
- Minor Adjustments: Involves removing small amounts of enamel to change the shape, length, or surface of teeth, often combined with bonding.
Smile Makeover
- Comprehensive Treatment Plan: A combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures tailored to achieve the perfect smile. It includes an assessment of your teeth, gums, and facial structure to design a personalized plan.
