What You Should Know About Cosmetic Dentistry

Posted .

Do you ever hesitate to smile? Are you slightly self-conscious because your smile is a little crooked, discolored, or because you’re missing teeth? If you’re suffering from any of these issues, or issues like them, cosmetic dentistry could be the solution you need.

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry designed to improve the appearance of your smile. It includes teeth whitening, which you could consider if you’re not satisfied with the color of your pearly whites. However, if you’re interested in improving the appearance of your smile further, you could also consider veneers. These thin shells are bonded to your teeth and used to cover small imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or stains.

There are other options you could consider as well. For example, have you heard of dental bonding, which can correct many of the same issues a veneer can? If you decide on dental bonding, our team will create a composite material that matches the color of your teeth and use that material to cover imperfections. Furthermore, in modern dentistry, most treatments—such as implants, crowns, or bridges—are made to match the look of your smile.

Obtaining a more dazzling smile isn’t as complicated as you might think.
