Whether you want to fix your teeth with braces or cosmetic veneers, you need a skilled and experienced dentist to make sure the procedure goes well. A cosmetic dentist specializes in enhancing and improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and jaw while making it look very natural.
Getting the smile you always wanted is easy when you get it done from a cosmetic dentist. They have the training, experience, and artistic skills to make it happen.
Crooked, misshapen or stained teeth can ruin a smile. A cosmetic dentist can give you a straight, white, and beautiful smile with porcelain veneers. They can even straighten crooked teeth that have been damaged by tooth decay and tooth erosion with bonding or crowns.
Teeth whitening is another popular cosmetic dental procedure. A cosmetic dentist uses whitening products that are more effective than over-the-counter ones, and they monitor every stage of the whitening process to ensure you get the results you want.
Dentists can also replace missing teeth by using bridges, crowns, and implants. These materials are bonded onto the natural teeth or gums for support and can replace multiple missing teeth, helping your smile look whole again.
A bridge is a natural-looking alternative to removable dentures or partial dentures, and it can be made from various materials, including porcelain or gold. The procedure can restore your smile and preserve the health of your remaining teeth, as well.
Missing teeth can make it difficult for you to eat and talk, and they can cause bone loss if they are left untreated. A cosmetic dentist can replace missing teeth with bridges, dentures, or dental implants to help you get your smile back on track.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of material that are bonded over the front surfaces of your teeth. They can cover stains, cracks, chips, and other minor cosmetic flaws. They can also cover discoloration caused by aging, smoking, and drinking coffee or wine.
They can also repair chipped or cracked teeth with dental bonding, and they can replace small missing pieces of enamel with porcelain inlays or onlays.
If you have a lot of staining, a cosmetic dentist may be able to remove it with a special stain removal procedure called composite resin bonding. They can also apply a special bleaching agent to lighten stains and correct the color of your teeth.
Depending on the type of staining, the procedure can be expensive or not. Some cosmetic dentistry procedures are covered by insurance, and others are not.
Cosmetic dentists can use a micro-abrasion machine to remove surface stains like tobacco products, coffee, and wine. However, they cannot remove intrinsic stains inside the teeth.
