Your dental health involves much more than what you can see, but that doesn’t mean that appearance isn’t important. Your smile is one of your most expressive features, and besides making you seem more approachable, a confident smile can convey a number of subtle messages that enhance your interactions with others.
Because it’s so noticeable, your smile can also be a source of self-consciousness if your teeth develop stains or other distracting blemishes. If you’re not satisfied with how your smile looks, then we can help restore your confidence with a variety of customized cosmetic dentistry services.
Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Why should I choose professional teeth-whitening instead of an over-the-counter product?
The convenience of a dental treatment that you can purchase over-the-counter may be tempting, but the reason it’s so easily available is because it isn’t as potent as professional teeth-whitening. Many people overuse OTC whitening products, attempting to improve unsatisfying results, and can damage their teeth without improving their appearance.
Can you fix my chipped tooth without putting a dental crown over it?
Even professional-strength teeth-whitening can’t fix a tooth with a chipped or jagged edge. Fortunately, it might be restored without the use of a dental crown, which requires sculpting the entire tooth to fit the crown over it. With cosmetic dental bonding and contouring, your dentist can resize and reshape your tooth using tooth-colored composite resin and innovative, non-invasive sculpting techniques.
I have several teeth that need improvement. Do I need several different cosmetic treatments to fix them?
For complex cosmetic issues, you may benefit most from porcelain veneers, which are thin shells of dental porcelain that can be bonded to the fronts of your teeth. Hand-crafted in a trusted dental lab, porcelain veneers are made to mimic your teeth’s appearance, including the way they reflect light, and can transform your smile by addressing multiple issues at once, including;
- Severely stained teeth (including intrinsic, or internal, discoloration)
- Noticeably worn down teeth
- Chipped or slightly cracked teeth
- Minor tooth misalignment
- And much more
