Cosmetic Treatments for a Better Smile

Cosmetic dentistry treatments can correct an array of cosmetic dental problems. These treatments are designed to straighten the teeth, close gaps between teeth, and even brighten your smile. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, then it’s time to schedule a consultation.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the cosmetic treatments available to improve the appearance of your smile. When teeth are lost, the jawbone suffers since it is no longer being stimulated. This can cause your jawbone to weaken and become more susceptible to fractures.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a great option if you’re interested in getting a brighter smile. There are several procedures available, including in-office and at-home whitening options.

In-Office Procedures

During in-office teeth whitening, your dentist will apply a whitening agent directly to your teeth. The whitening agent breaks down stains, revealing a whiter smile. The process generally takes about an hour and can help your teeth look several shades lighter.

At-Home Options

If you’re interested in an at-home whitening treatment, your dentist can provide you with a kit that you can use at home. The kit will include whitening trays as well as whitening gel. You’ll fill the trays with the gel and wear them for about 30 minutes a day. The whitening gel will help break down stains, revealing a whiter smile.

Veneers Treatments

Veneers are thin, durable, tooth-shaped shells that can cover up any aesthetic imperfections. It can be made of composite resin or porcelain, and your dentist will be able to help you choose the right option for your needs. Porcelain veneers are typically stronger than composite resin veneers, but composite resin veneers are less expensive.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is used to repair minor chips and cracks in teeth. After removing the damaged portion, a resin material is bonded to the surface. This material can be shaped so that it effectively fills in the damaged area. This material can be polished to match the rest of your tooth.

Although this procedure is not as long-lasting as a crown or veneer, it can last up to ten years before needing to be replaced. The dentist may recommend bonding for small repairs to teeth.

Invisalign® Clear Braces

For patients who want a straighter smile but don’t want to wear metal braces, Invisalign® clear braces may be a good alternative. Invisible plastic aligners are applied to the teeth to move them into the proper position. Because they’re clear, most people won’t be able to tell you’re wearing braces. Invisalign® can be used for mild to severe orthodontic issues.

Snap-On Smile®

Snap-On Smile® is a versatile, removable, and natural-looking appliance that can change your smile quickly. The appliance has the appearance of natural teeth and gums, allowing you to smile confidently. Snap-On Smile® is an affordable option for those who are concerned about their smile.
