What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a part of dental care that focuses on improving the appearance of healthy teeth. It is an increasingly popular choice for people who want to improve their smile and oral health. Not only do cosmetic dentistry treatments help give patients beautiful and healthy smiles, they can be helpful in preventing tooth decay and improving your overall health, too.
Teeth Whitening
Our office offers teeth whitening by Opalescence for our patients who are looking to lighten their teeth by several shades quickly and easily. It’s one of the easiest ways to leave with an absolutely amazing smile in just a short amount of time.
In-Office Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment that can be done in the dentist’s office. The dentist will apply a bleaching gel and then use a special light to activate the gel. This process is quick, and you will see results immediately.
Office whitening is more expensive than at-home treatments, but it is also more effective and longer-lasting. In addition, the dentist can help to ensure that the bleaching gel is applied evenly, resulting in a more even and consistent result.
At-Home Whitening
If coming to the office for whitening is inconvenient, we can provide the supplies you will need to get started at home. The treatment may not show dramatic results as quickly, but you will still achieve a bright, beautiful smile that is safe and effective.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the most popular and effective ways to replace missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for an artificial tooth. In addition, implants can help preserve the jaw’s bone structure, preventing further tooth loss. They can be used alongside natural teeth or dentures.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a common and popular procedure used to restore and improve the appearance of your smile. The process involves using a tooth-colored resin material applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light.
Bonding can help do the following for your teeth:
- repair cracks or chips
- close gaps
- change the shape
- improve the appearance of stained or discolored teeth
The procedure doesn’t take long, and your dentist can usually complete it in one office visit. Plus, bonding is usually less expensive than other cosmetic dental procedures. So if you’re looking for an affordable way to improve your smile, dental bonding might be the right solution.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular treatment to straighten teeth without metal wires and brackets like traditional metal braces. Instead, the treatment consists of clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. Each custom-made aligner tray gently shifts teeth into the desired position.
Most people will need to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours per day, and you should replace them every few weeks. Treatment typically takes 9-18 months, and patients will generally need to visit the dentist every few months for a checkup. Invisalign is an effective way to achieve straighter teeth, and it can be a more convenient and comfortable option for some patients than traditional braces.
