What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry uses a variety of dental procedures to enhance the appearance of your teeth. The team at Dr. Vero’s practice focuses on improving your smile with treatments that can resize your teeth, position them correctly, align them, and erase stains to make them whiter.
When you consult with the team, they listen to your aesthetic goals and work with you to create a customized plan to give you the desired smile you want.
Is cosmetic dentistry right for me?
If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, then cosmetic dentistry can give you a successful outcome. The team consults with you about your aesthetic goals. Together, they work with you to create your customized plan to produce the results you want.
To determine your procedures, your provider performs a comprehensive oral evaluation that includes digital radiography.
What cosmetic dentistry options might I choose?
Cosmetic dental procedures aim to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. Common treatments include:
- Teeth whitening to remove surface stains
- Implants to replace missing teeth
- Crowns, inlays, or onlays to cover damaged teeth
- Gum reshaping to repair gum recession or improve the natural gum line
- Tooth-colored or composite fillings
- Bridges to replace one or more missing teeth
- Partial dentures to cover several missing teeth
- Orthodontics to straighten crooked teeth
- Veneers or bonding
Veneers or bonding are a great cosmetic dentistry option to cover cracks, discoloration, and help teeth appear straighter. They can also cover small teeth to give you a more symmetrical smile.
In many cases, you can have more than one procedure in a single visit.
Can cosmetic dentistry improve my oral health?
Cosmetic dentistry can serve more than one purpose. Not only can it enhance the look of your smile, but it can also prevent future dental issues. For example, crowns and veneers cover your chipped or cracked teeth, which protects your teeth from decay while providing strength.
If you have gum recontouring, the procedure prevents bacteria from reaching the deeper portions of your tooth, including the root, which protects you from gum disease.
During your consultation, you can talk about how your treatment can meet your oral function needs while enhancing your look.
