A confident smile improves how a person feels about themselves in photos, conversations, and everyday life. If you don’t love your smile, then cosmetic dentistry is the key to an improved smile. While general dentistry focuses on the health of your teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of the teeth, gums, and overall smile. Cosmetic procedures improve tooth color, shape, spacing, and balance, creating a smile that looks brighter and healthier. What are some of these procedures that build confidence in patients’ smiles?
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Some of the common types of cosmetic dentistry treatments are described below.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening offers a simple and affordable way to brighten your smile. In-office whitening allows individuals to quickly achieve a whiter smile using professional-grade products provided by Paramount Dental Group. For whitening that goes beyond what’s possible in a single visit, custom whitening trays with whitening gel allow patients to whiten their teeth safely and conveniently from the comfort of their own homes. Professional custom trays provide a far better fit than over-the-counter options.
Dental Veneers
Thin layers of porcelain bonded to the front of selected teeth, known as veneers, greatly enhance the appearance of chipped or damaged teeth, severely discolored teeth, widely spaced teeth, and teeth that no longer resemble the original shape and size. For many patients, veneers are a great alternative to orthodontic treatment or dental crowns to obtain a dramatically improved smile.
Dental Bonding
Another cost-effective way to give your smile a fresh new look is dental bonding. The process involves applying tooth colored resin to enamel that is chipped, cracked, or irregular. Trimming and polishing blends the tooth in with the surrounding teeth. While veneers are more durable, bonding is more affordable.
Tooth Contouring
Tooth contouring makes minor adjustments that significantly enhance the overall look of a patient’s smile. This treatment gently reshapes the enamel surface of a tooth to correct small imperfections Rough edges are smoothed and teeth are matched in length, without impacting the overall health of the teeth involved. With gentle polishing and shaping, the result is a clean and well-balanced look.
