Cosmetic dentistry has the ability to make over a smile and boost confidence. Whether it involves a single treatment or a full-scale smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry can be a life-changing experience for people who are bothered by their smile.
You Hide Your Smile
If you find yourself hiding your smile behind your hand or ducking out of photographs because you’re embarrassed of your smile, cosmetic dentistry can help. Together, you and our dentists will identify the area(s) of your smile that cause you to feel self-conscious. Then, we will recommend the treatments that are most likely to create your ideal-looking smile. A beautiful smile can help you feel more comfortable around other people (and in front of the camera!).
You Have Small Cracks
or Fractures in the Teeth
Are tiny cracks or fractures keeping your teeth from looking their best?
Patching up the cracks or fractures with filling material or placing a crown or
veneer over the tooth not only improves its appearance, but also protects it
and can prevent additional damage.
Your Teeth Look Dull or
Yellowish
Perhaps your teeth are strong and free of damage, but they look yellowed
or dingy. The effects of aging and the consumption of highly pigmented foods
and beverages can gradually darken the teeth, giving the entire smile an aged
look. Professional teeth whitening brightens teeth almost instantly, giving the
smile a healthy and youthful quality. If you prefer to whiten at home, we can
create a special take-home kit for you to use.
Your Teeth Are Slightly
Crooked or Crowded
Slightly crooked or crowded teeth detract from an otherwise attractive
smile. Minor spacing problems can often be corrected with Invisalign, a system
that uses clear plastic aligners to gradually shift the teeth into the desired
position. Many adults prefer Invisalign to traditional braces because the
aligners are removable, comfortable and discreet.
(Note that more severe orthodontic problems may require traditional
metal braces or similar options.)
