It used to be that your friendly neighborhood dentist would clean your teeth, drill and fill cavities, perform the dreaded root canals, and remind you to brush twice a day and don't forget to floss. Today that dentist does all of that and much, much more. Today's dentists can work seeming miracles with the advancements in dental technology and materials to correct minor flaws like chips and cracks to major problems like missing teeth. Good dental health hasn't changed but the art of cosmetic dentistry has been revolutionized.
Anyone who has a smile that they are embarrassed to show due to crooked or improperly spaced teeth, yellowed or stained teeth, missing teeth, or other dental imperfections will be the first to tell you how important attractive teeth are. Your smile is one of the first things people take note of with a ready, sincere smile being on top of the descriptive list of likable features. That great smile gives you the self-confidence you need to meet new people, interview for that new job opportunity, attract a love interest, and so much more. That smile isn't just about your teeth - it's about you and who you want to be.
Cosmetic dentistry puts that great smile within your reach, no matter what it looks like now. Not only can your smile be dramatically improved, it can be done quickly, sometimes in only one or two appointments depending on what you need to have done. Whitening is the most common cosmetic procedure. Laser whitening that is done in the dentist's office often has spectacular results. A solution is applied to the teeth followed by a special laser treatment that is used to whiten the teeth for an immediately noticeable difference. It is also possible to do the whitening at home with custom fitted whitening trays and solution that is superior in strength to over-the-counter teeth whitening products.
Kids can be hard on their teeth resulting in many reaching adulthood with unattractively cracked or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers can be used to repair those teeth to both restore a natural-looking beauty and strengthen them. Veneers can also be used to fill in spaces between the teeth and mask discolored teeth that don't respond well to whitening techniques. Tooth reshaping and bonding can correct crooked teeth, and alter the shape and length of teeth quickly. This procedure can be used instead of braces in some cases to avoid months or years of expensive orthodontic treatments. Dental implants are now available to permanently replace missing teeth.
Your dentist can answer any questions you may have about cosmetic dentistry, the treatments available, and cost.
