If your smile is cracked, discolored, or crooked, cosmetic dentistry may be the answer for you. Although cosmetic treatments are sought by many people to improve their appearance, many cosmetic procedures also address health concerns and leave you with a healthier and more beautiful smile.
Some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments include teeth whitening, dental implants, crowns and bridges, veneers, composite fillings, Invisalign clear aligners, gum contouring, and full mouth reconstruction. Each of these treatments helps give you a more beautiful smile and improves oral health.
Some cosmetic dentistry treatments are elective, while others are medically necessary. During your consultation with our dentist at Veneta Dental, you can learn more about the best options for your smile.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers may be a good option if you want to change the look of your smile. Veneers are thin ceramic or porcelain shells that fit over the front of your teeth. They're custom-made by a professional dental technician to give you a natural-looking, beautiful smile.
Dental Crowns
A crown or cap is another type of restoration that may be used to fix a tooth weakened from decay or injury. A crown fits over the entire tooth above the gum line to restore strength and protect it from further harm.
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a popular and inexpensive way to improve the appearance of your smile. In this procedure, a composite resin material is used to correct minor imperfections in the teeth such as cracks, chips, discoloration, and other minor flaws. It's a quick procedure — the resin can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are another popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that replaces missing teeth. These small metal posts are placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth such as a dental crown or a denture.
Better Oral Health
If a tooth is cracked, chipped, or discolored, the tooth can be restored with cosmetic dentistry procedures to improve the appearance and longevity of the tooth. These procedures also help strengthen the enamel layer and can keep teeth from developing cavities in the future.
Improved Self-Confidence
You might feel self-conscious about smiling or laughing around others if your smile has flaws. Dental veneers, teeth whitening, and other cosmetic dental procedures can help restore your smile and boost your self-confidence. You’ll be more likely to laugh and smile more often with a better-looking smile.
Restoration of Damaged Teeth
Whether you’ve suffered an accident that has caused damage to your teeth or had old fillings replaced, there are various ways a dentist can repair and restore your smile if needed. A cosmetic dentist will be able to determine which procedure is best for your needs to restore the damage and improve the appearance of your teeth.
