what is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry, also called aesthetic dentistry, is oral care tailored for visual appeal, including procedures like whitening and veneers. Your smile is one of the most visible features you have, so you should make the most of it.
Whitening
Everyone wants a whiter smile, and millions of people purchase over-the-counter whitening strips. Tests show that those strips work, but they take a long time and do not give dramatic results. With our in-home teeth whitening treatment, we can create a much brighter smile in a fraction of the time of those strips and for a similar cost.
Bonding
Do you have chipped, broken, or misshaped teeth? Using bonding techniques, we can fill in gaps and reconstruct where necessary. Tooth-colored materials are bonded to the tooth surface to make the repairs.
Enamel Shaping
Shaping is the partner of bonding. It involves removing enamel where necessary to create an aesthetic look. Shaping and bonding are often used together to make your teeth look their best. Most shaping involves little discomfort.
Veneers
Veneers have received much attention lately from reality TV shows, and the look is definitely attractive. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are adhered to the front of your teeth. This technique is used for chipped, worn, discolored, and slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers are expensive but the price is falling and the look is an instant wow!
Braces
Did you think of a teenager when you read that word? Braces aren’t just for kids anymore – in fact, adults often have orthodontic work for better looks and function. A popular option for those with slightly crooked teeth is Invisalign, a patented system of mouthguards that slowly move your teeth without wires and fixtures.
Call for a Consultation
