What can dental treatments do for your smile?
Dentistry for attractive smiles is a growing field, referred to as cosmetic dentistry. Do you have crooked, missing or decaying teeth? Do you have a chipped or discolored tooth?
There are a lot of tools dentists have at their disposal to help you with this. Of course we can take care of you cavities and use fillings that are the same color as your teeth. That is the first step. But there are other treatments as well.
Straightening teeth
You can get braces to straighten your teeth, traditional braces or clear brackets with tooth colored wires.
Another option to having straight looking teeth are porcelain veneers. Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain. Dentists cover your discolored or broken tooth with the veneer. We use cosmetic bonding along with the veneer, and this procedure takes about two appointments.
What is bonding?
Bonding uses a tooth colored composite to fill in the gaps between your teeth. In this way, we can contour your smile. More good news is that we can do this in one appointment.
How can teeth whitening help?
We’ve included in whitening procedures a service called “white for life.” What this means is as long as you come to us for teeth cleaning, you can ask for whitening gel. Our hygienist will be happy to provide you with some.
Is dentistry for attractive smiles more than just cosmetic?
Indeed it is because people with attractive smiles feel more like smiling, which is good for your health. For more information, read our blog entitled “How Do Healthy Teeth and Attractive Smiles Relate to Well-being?”
