Cosmetic dentistry treatments can improve your smile and your oral health. The type of cosmetic dental treatment that is right for you will depend upon your dental needs, your lifestyle, and your overall health. Before visiting your family dentist to discuss your cosmetic dentistry needs, read this information about the benefits of common cosmetic dentistry treatments.
Porcelain Veneers and Lumineers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front of one or more teeth to improve the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. Your dentist will attach your porcelain veneers to your teeth using specialized dental cement. Your teeth may need to be slightly filed down to prepare them for veneers. Lumineers are temporary veneers that are thinner than traditional porcelain veneers, are removable, and don’t require teeth filing.
Professional Teeth Whitening
If your teeth are yellow or stained, you can benefit significantly from a professional laser teeth-whitening procedure. Your dentist will carefully apply high-grade teeth whitening gel to your teeth. This gel is then activated safely and painlessly with a dental laser. Professional teeth whitening is much more effective and longer lasting than at-home teeth whitening treatments. The teeth whitening procedure is quick, and the results can last for up to four or five months with the proper care and maintenance.
A Full Smile Makeover
Your dentist may recommend a smile makeover if you have multiple cosmetic issues that you want to fix. A smile makeover may combine several cosmetic dentistry procedures to achieve your desired result, including veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and tooth-colored restorations. Cosmetic bonding and tooth-colored restorations use composite resin to improve the appearance of chipped or misaligned teeth. Composite resin can be tinted to your natural tooth’s color.
