5 Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions

The purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the look of your teeth, gums and ultimately, your smile. All sorts of different cosmetic dentistry treatments and procedures are available to beautify your smile. In fact, some such treatments provide the added bonus of restoring teeth. Below, we detail five cosmetic dentistry solutions that will enhance the look of your smile and help improve confidence.

1. Composite Bonding

It is possible to beautify broken, chipped, decayed or discolored teeth with surprising ease. By letting a dentist apply composite bonding to flawed teeth, patients can watch their smile return to its former glory. The dentist will place dental composite material that looks similar to regular tooth enamel on the tooth surface or cavity.

The composite material is then sculpted and contoured to look aesthetically pleasing. The dentist then hardens the composite bonding with a high-intensity light. The end result is a normal-looking tooth that blends in nicely with the tooth structure and the remaining natural teeth to produce a lovely smile.

2. Dental Veneers

Also known as dental laminates, veneers are bonded directly to the tooth surface to remedy cracking and/or chipping. By adding veneers to your teeth, they will look good as new. You can also make them match the shade of the surrounding teeth if you prefer. If your teeth have severe discoloration or if you have gaps between your teeth, dental veneers will prove especially helpful.

Veneers conceal such flaws, making your smile look fantastic. In fact, some patients who obtain little or no benefit from teeth whitening find veneers beautify their teeth to just the right shade of white.

3. Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is all the rage for a good reason: this cosmetic dental treatment brightens teeth when other treatments cannot. Teeth whitening beautifies teeth without draining your savings or causing the type of inconvenience that sometimes results from other techniques. Choose in-office teeth whitening and your teeth will reach the perfect shade of white for your unique skin tone and face.

4. Invisalign®

Invisalign is an incredibly popular means of straightening crooked teeth. There is no need to bother with unsightly metal braces when translucent Invisalign aligners are available. People cannot see these aligners with the naked eye. Give Invisalign aligners a year and you will find they really do straighten crooked teeth and close those unsightly gaps to create the smile of your dreams.

5. Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays, sometimes referred to as indirect fillings, are comprised of composite or porcelain materials. These cosmetic dentistry solutions are revered for many reasons. Inlays and onlays stand the test of time, beautify teeth with decay or other structural damage and prove quite comfortable.

By choosing inlays or onlays, you will not have to worry about issues with comfort or fit. Inlays and onlays are made in a dental lab so they fit your mouth to perfection. The dentist bonds inlays and onlays in place so they remain on the teeth across posterity. Call us for more information today.
