Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry, as the name suggests, is to improve a patient's smile. Whether you're unhappy with your crooked teeth or your discolored smile, cosmetic dentistry can help you look and feel you’re best! Improving the look of your smile can be done in a variety of ways by various means, depending on the problem that you are trying to address.

One common way of improving your smile if you have a discolored tooth is by placing what is called a veneer, which is a thin piece of porcelain that is essentially glued to the outer surface of your tooth. It can alter the color, size and shape of your front teeth, and can instantly improve one's smile. Veneers not only help improve the look of a bothersome tooth, but can also help protect and strengthen a tooth. Another way to achieve a pleasing smile through cosmetic dentistry is by having an all-porcelain crown placed on a tooth that may have been damaged from trauma or improper care. Porcelain crowns are long-lasting options for strengthening a tooth and protecting it from further damage over time. While considerably more expensive than traditional all-metal crowns, porcelain crowns are longer lasting and more of an investment in your smile than they are a quick-fix for a temporary problem.

Tooth whitening is also a popular form of cosmetic dentistry. Tooth whitening helps make an individual's smile more attractive by removing the stains and discoloration that may have occurred over time on their teeth, as well as brightening the color of their teeth by several shades to give them a healthier and whiter smile.
