Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Tooth Whitening

Professional tooth whitening is a safe and effective way to whiten teeth that are stained or discolored. Teeth can become discolored for several reasons, including medications, aging, genetics, or certain foods and drinks like coffee, wine, and berries. A professional whitening treatment can lighten the teeth by several shades in just one visit, and the results can last for months.

Porcelain Veneers

Thin shells made of custom-made porcelain cover the front surface of your teeth. Veneers can correct cosmetic issues such as chipped teeth, gaps, misalignment, and severe discoloration.

Dental Crowns

Tooth-shaped caps are placed over damaged or misshapen teeth to restore appearance and functionality. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal.

Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with artificial ones that look as natural as possible. These dentures consist of a custom-fabricated titanium post that’s surgically placed in an opening in the jawbone. The post will fuse with the bone over time to create a stable anchor for the new prosthetic tooth or teeth. Implants are permanent and can last a lifetime when properly cared for.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Improved Self-Confidence

Many patients find that cosmetic dentistry improves their smile's appearance and boosts their confidence. Studies have shown that people who feel better about their teeth smile more often and laugh more freely. This can positively affect how they interact with other people in both social and professional capacities.

Enhanced Smile

One of the most apparent benefits of cosmetic dentistry is the improvement in the appearance of your smile. Whether you have stained, chipped, misaligned, or missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry procedures can address these issues and give you a beautiful, confident smile.

Restored Dental Function

Many cosmetic dentistry procedures not only enhance appearance but also restore dental function. For example, dental crowns or implants can replace missing teeth, allowing you to eat and speak more comfortably. Orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners can straighten misaligned teeth, improving your bite and making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene.
