If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, your cosmetic dentist can give your smile a makeover. It’s never too late to invest in the smile of your dreams. Whether you’re embarrassed by metal restorations, worn teeth, or tooth stains, there’s no age limit to benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Here are just a few options to transform your smile.
Popular Cosmetic Dental Procedures
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t a single procedure. Instead, it involves services that focus on aesthetics. Many treatments also improve the health and function of teeth. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which procedures are right for you, which may include:
Porcelain Veneers
A veneer is a thin restoration that’s applied to the front side of a tooth, instantly improving its color, size, and shape. This can be a great option to fix a chipped, cracked, or stained tooth. However, when applying veneers to the teeth that show when you smile, you can correct many issues at once, including discoloration, chips, and gaps. The minimally invasive procedure offers lasting results after just two appointments.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
Metals were the go-to materials for crowns and other restorations for decades because they are durable and effective. However, they instantly alert people of your age because modern restorations are made from ceramic materials. Whether you want to swap an old crown, or you need a new restoration, you can benefit from a solution that looks and feels like a real tooth.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a convenient and affordable solution to fix minor imperfections quickly, like decay, chips, or exposed tooth roots. A resin material is shaded to the color of your enamel to look like part of your tooth. After just one appointment, you can enjoy noticeable improvement that can last for many years.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth come in many shades and tones. They also change color over time from various factors, like smoking, drinking a lot of coffee, or not brushing your teeth before bed. No matter the reason, your teeth can get up to 8 shades whiter using a professional whitening system. Surface stains can be resolved using an in-office or take-home kit. Your dazzling smile can last for many months or years with the right care, like brushing and flossing.
A beautiful smile is associated with youth and confidence. You can turn back the clock and boost your confidence with cosmetic dentistry. You will look and feel your best using the latest elective procedures.
