Almost everyone has some flaw in their smile that they wish they could get rid of, and your cosmetic dentist offers a range of treatments that can address many common dental defects. In fact, cosmetic dental procedures are quite popular, so you probably know at least one person who has received them without even realizing it. Here’s a brief guide to some amazing cosmetic dental treatments and how they can beautify your grin.
Transform Your Smile with Veneers
Chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and misshapenness are all common cosmetic dental flaws, and your dentist can address many of these issues at once using dental veneers. Each of these amazing dental appliances is customized to match the ideal appearance of your natural teeth so the treatment can completely transform your smile.
Veneers are made from high-quality ceramic for a lifelike look and permanently cemented over troubled teeth to create a gorgeous new grin. Veneers are typically placed over two appointments, and the appliances will eventually need to be replaced. With excellent care, your veneers can stay in excellent condition for up to fifteen years.
Conceal Minor Defects with Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Many people live with minor chips, cracks, stains, and gaps in their teeth, and your dentist can address these issues in many cases with cosmetic dental bonding. To perform this treatment, your dentist will apply a small amount of tooth-colored composite resin to the flaw and shape this putty-like substance until it conceals the defect and matches the natural curves of your tooth. After the restoration is treated with a specialized UV light, you’ll be ready to resume your day with a beautifully repaired grin.
This procedure can be completed in minutes during a routine dental appointment and is completely painless without anesthesia, meaning that you’ll be able to drive immediately after the procedure. This makes it an especially convenient treatment for those on the go as well as a noninvasive cosmetic solution for many common dental defects.
Your cosmetic dentist is trained and equipped to address a wide variety of cosmetic dental flaws. Consulting with your oral heath provider will help you find out which treatments can be great ways to enhance your smile.
