What treatments are available for patients considering cosmetic dental work?
There are a wide range of services that can assist in smile enhancement. Patients may choose one or more treatments, depending on if they want subtle or dramatic improvements. Below is just a small sampling of the
cosmetic work that can be completed in our practice:
- Porcelain veneers – patients seeking enhancement near the front of the mouth may find porcelain veneers to be a smart option. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic facings custom-made for the teeth near the front of the smile. They disguise imperfections including chipped, broken, or discolored anterior teeth. Veneers will last a long time with proper care and attention.
- Dental bonding – another option for coverage of imperfections is composite resin dental bonding. This material is similar in appearance to natural tooth enamel and can be shaped and filed down to cover problem areas. This same material is used in our practice to provide tooth-colored fillings if decay occurs.
- Orthodontics – improperly aligned teeth can have a negative impact on the smile. Therefore, many patients choose to move forward with orthodontic work. Orthodontics can address not only the alignment of the teeth, but also the alignment of the bite for better function and less wear on the natural teeth.
- Professional teeth whitening treatments – patients with dull or discolored teeth will find our professional teeth whitening options to be a wonderful solution. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening kits, ensuring patients whiten several shades brighter than their current smile. These treatments can be done professionally in the dental chair or in the privacy of one’s home.
- Dental crowns – in some situations, a dental crown may be a good choice. Dental crowns are porcelain “caps” made to cover a natural tooth. This may be done for a variety of reasons. Coverage may be used in situations where permanent staining is present. A crown might also be placed over a tooth to protect it after it has been weakened due to trauma or procedures such as root canal therapy. These restorations will last many years in most situations.
- Dental implants – patients who are missing teeth might consider placement of dental implants, which are highly desirable. These restorations act as natural tooth root replacements but are made of a strong material such as titanium. Dental implants can replace one or more teeth, while also being used to maintain full dentures in place and provide the best in stability and strength.
