Cosmetic Dentistry for the Holidays

Cosmetic dentistry can be used to refer to any dental treatment done to improve your smile and appearance. A straighter smile can be a source of confidence, pride, and happiness, and can make an appreciable impact on your quality of life. Moreover, a confident smile can provide a boost to your mental well being and self-esteem. Aside from being a morale boost, straighter teeth can help reduce headaches and jaw pain and restore damaged teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry Techniques

Cosmetic dentistry works to conceal and repair damage to improve oral aesthetics. This can involve the use of porcelain veneers, which are essentially tooth covers that stick on to your existing teeth, improving it’s look while also protecting it from damage. For more damaged teeth, a porcelain crown may be used instead.

Simpler techniques might involve tooth whitening, which is highly popular for its ease of use and effectiveness. Tooth whitening products are widely available, but your results can vary with them. Talk to us about our tooth whitening options to find out how you can get the results you’d like.

Orthodontic Alignment

Crooked, crowded, or uneven teeth are a common source of cosmetic dental concerns. Orthodontic treatment is the best way to go, but that doesn’t have to involve years of braces and metal brackets. Technologies like Invisalign are making it possible to get the smile you’ve always wanted in a painless and effective fashion. Invisalign are a series a clear plastic retainers that gently reposition and straighten teeth over a set period of time.

Beyond Teeth

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t limited to only your teeth. Sometimes, minor processes can be done to improve a smile by changing the way your lips or gums are presented. You might be desiring a more even gum line, or are hoping to cover more of your gums when you smile. If you’ve got a particular smile you’re hoping for in mind, it doesn’t hurt to at least ask us about it! Often times we’ll use a variety of small techniques to get the results that you’re looking for.

Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t have to involve complex and intricate procedures. Sometimes, it might even be something simple that makes a large difference.
