What smile imperfections can cosmetic dentistry fix?
Our dentist and team may suggest cosmetic dentistry if you want to enhance your smile’s appearance for a special occasion or if you want to improve your overall appearance. Cosmetic dentistry may be the solution you need if your smile has imperfections such as:
- Cracked, chipped, fractured or broken teeth
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
- Discolored, yellowed or stained teeth
- Slightly misaligned or uneven teeth
- One or more missing teeth
- Teeth that appear too long, too short or too pointed
- Very worn or misshapen teeth
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for my smile?
The cosmetic treatments we recommend for you will depend on your smile goals and the condition of your teeth. When you visit our dentist for your consultation, we will discuss the appearance you desire as well as the condition and health of your teeth in order to determine which treatments will be most effective for you.
What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
There are many benefits to receiving cosmetic treatments. You can receive a boost in confidence, improved self-esteem and even a more youthful appearance. Cosmetic dentistry has also oral health benefits. If you have a smile full of straight and even teeth, you will have an easier time brushing and flossing your teeth, which in turn will make you less likely to develop cavities, decay or other dental problems. Cosmetic dentistry could also keep you from having to pay for restorative treatments later in life.
What should I expect during a cosmetic dentistry procedure?
The specifics of a cosmetic dentistry procedure will vary depending on the specific treatment. Some procedures may require more than one visit such as teeth straightening and whitening. However, in general, patients can expect procedures to be quick and relatively painless.
How many appointments will I need to get the smile I want?
The number of appointments you need will depend on the condition of your teeth and the treatment or treatments needed to meet your smile goals. Treatments such as dental bonding and teeth whitening can be completed in one appointment, while veneers usually require two visits: one to create impressions of your teeth and one to bond the veneers to your teeth. Our dentist will work with you to determine what treatments and how many appointments you will need to achieve the smile of your dreams.
How long do the results of cosmetic dentistry last?
The length of cosmetic results varies depending on the specific procedure that was performed. Teeth whitening results may only last for a few months, while teeth straightening results can last for several years. In general, the results of cosmetic dentistry are long-lasting and can provide patients with significant improvements to their smile.
