23 Nov Cosmetic Dentistry: The Art of Beautiful Smiles
The way that a person’s smile looks has a great impact on self-confidence and appearance. In today’s modern culture, it is obvious that straight, white smiles are highly coveted. Some folks may believe that a person with a beautiful smile is just lucky but the truth is that most good-looking smiles have little to do with luck at all. Behind countless beautiful smiles is the work of a cosmetic dentist. Our practice offers a number of cosmetic services to help member of our community look and feel their best. From professional teeth whitening and white restorations to porcelain veneers, we can improve the appearance of any imperfect smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings and Crowns
Almost everyone will need some dental work in his or her lifetime. In the past, restorations like dental crowns and fillings were made from dark metal materials. Today, however, our cosmetic dentist offers much more natural looking options. For fillings, we offer composite resin. This compound is durable and tooth colored, which means that a simple filling will not give away that one has had a cavity or two. More extensive restorations such as crowns can appear natural looking, too. Porcelain and porcelain fused to metal crowns are incredibly popular among patients who desire discreet, tooth-colored dental work.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Since store bought products fall short on whitening permanent tooth stains, our practice provides professional whitening systems that penetrate the enamel surface of teeth where deep stains form. Opalesence, the whitening system we use, offers prescription-grade bleaching agents that safely whiten teeth about eight to ten shades brighter.
Porcelain Veneers
For those in need of a complete smile makeover, porcelain veneers are a great option for achieving a white, straight, and uniformly proportionate smile. Veneers are razor-thin pieces of porcelain that are custom made to fit over teeth. They are permanently bonded to the outer surfaces of teeth to conceal flaws and imperfections.
If you would like to improve your appearance with cosmetic procedures, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our caring cosmetic dentist. At your appointment, we will guide you through your different options to help you determine which procedure is best for you.
