Cosmetic dentistry as defined by Wikipedia is dental work that improves the appearance and function of a person’s teeth. Many studies have documented that the first thing you notice about an individual are their eyes. The second thing is their smile. A poor or embarrassing smile can be a huge problem. Issues with loss of confidence, self-esteem, employment advancement and human interaction are prevalent. The opportunity to give a patient a beautiful smile is very important, and thanks to advancements in modern cosmetic dentistry, you can expect those results easier than ever before.
The different areas of cosmetic dentistry are listed below. Click on each to learn more and see before and after photos.
Tooth Whitening or “tooth bleaching” is the most common cosmetic dental procedure. Bleaching the teeth can enhance the appearance of your smile.
Porcelain Veneers are ultra thin, custom-made laminates that are adhesively bonded to the teeth. They can be used to close gaps, disguise discolored teeth and correct chipped, cracked or broken teeth.
Cosmetic Crowns are permanent coverings that fit over an original tooth that is decayed, damaged or cracked.
White “Tooth-Colored” Fillings and Composite Bonding can be used to repair chipped, broken, discolored, gapped and worn teeth with enamel-colored material.
Smile Makeovers involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile esthetics in order to improve the overall appearance. Examination of the bite, muscles, teeth and bone structure would also be included in the assessment. Full Mouth Reconstruction maybe indicated to correct functional discrepancies in any of these areas. Many of the previously discussed procedures and materials make it possible to provide you with long lasting, durable, functional and natural-looking results.
