What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry, as the name suggests, is concerned with the improvement of the appearance of your smile. It is a combination of various procedures that are performed to enhance the appearance of your teeth and gums. Cosmetic dentistry treatments are for those who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their teeth.

Why Should You Opt For Cosmetic Dentistry?

There are a number of reasons why you should opt for cosmetic dentistry. Some of them are as follows:

• If you have stained or discolored teeth, a teeth whitening procedure can help.
• If you have a lot of missing teeth, you can opt for dental implants or partial/full dentures to replace them.
• If you have teeth that are chipped, cracked, or misshapen, we can restore them using restorative techniques.
• If your teeth are too far apart from each other, it can be resolved by orthodontic treatments.
• If you have a gap between your two front teeth, it can be fixed using dental veneers or crowns.

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

If you are unhappy with your smile due to stained, crooked, or missing teeth, your cosmetic dentist will be able to recommend the best cosmetic dentistry treatments for you to get your smile looking its very best. Some of the major cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer are as follows:

• Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental treatments nowadays. From store-bought whitening strips to professional dental whitening, people are interested in making their pearly whites shine. Many patients visit us with concerns about tooth discoloration from aging or staining. We offer professional whitening services that can dramatically whiten teeth.

• Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that can be bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers can correct the following issues:

- Teeth that are chipped or cracked

- Teeth that are too short

- Teeth that are stained or discolored

- Teeth that are misaligned or uneven

• Dental Implants

Dental implants are the preferred method for replacing missing teeth, because they look and function like natural teeth. In fact, a dental implant can last a lifetime with proper care.

• Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses clear aligners to help straighten a patient's smile. These aligners are custom-made for a patient's teeth, and each set is designed to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. 

• Composite (White) Fillings

Composite fillings are one of the most common types of fillings used for tooth decay treatment. They blend perfectly with your natural tooth color, so they're practically unnoticeable.

• Gum Contouring and Reshaping

A gummy smile occurs when someone's gum line is uneven or extends beyond their upper teeth. This causes excess gum tissue and can make someone feel self-conscious. Gum contouring is a procedure that removes excess tissue and reshapes the gum line to create symmetry between the person's teeth and gums. 

• Dental bonding

Dental bonding is a restorative procedure that can improve the appearance of teeth that are cracked, chipped, stained, or have minor alignment issues.

• Dental crowns

Dental crowns are caps that can be put over teeth that have sustained severe damage. They can enhance the appearance and strength of the tooth.

• Inlays and Onlays

Inlays are custom-fabricated fillings that are made from tooth-colored ceramic material. They can either be used as stand-alone restorations or in combination with crowns or veneers when there is too much damage to the tooth structure to allow for crowns or veneers to be used on their own. Onlays are similar restorations but only cover the cusp of a worn-out tooth instead of being bonded on its entire surface area as in the case of inlays.
