How do you feel about the appearance of your smile? If you have issues with the appearance of your smile, then we want to help with cosmetic dentistry. From teeth whitening to custom veneers, we can help your smile shine. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, family dentist talks about boosting smiles with cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth Whitening
While you can easily purchase store bought systems, they rarely offer the same dramatic and long-lasting results as our in-office treatments or take-home whitening kits. We will look closely at your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, so we can recommend the right option to remove discoloration and brighten your smile, sometimes by as many as eight shades!
Dental Bonding and Contouring
Our team could also offer cosmetic treatment in one visit with bonding and contouring. With bonding, we apply a composite resin to the teeth, the same we use for our lifelike fillings. This can mask stains, fill gaps between teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and repair minor damage. With contouring, we shade and buff the tooth to correct esthetic concerns. We can correct the appearance of chipped teeth, dull sharp or jagged teeth, and smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the tooth. We can also correct overly large or misshapen teeth too, all in one sitting.
Porcelain Veneers
For many patients, our porcelain veneers offer a smile makeover in only two visits. During the first visit, we prepare your tooth and gather images and measurements with digital technology. In between the visits, we will design and fabricate your new restorations in a dental lab. When you return, we will attach these to the front of the teeth. Veneers can reshape damaged or malformed teeth, fill gaps and black triangle spaces between teeth, and mask stains or other cosmetic imperfections. We can even correct the appearance of minor misalignment!
Gum Contouring
Most of these are focused on the teeth, but we also have a cosmetic treatment designed to help the gums. When you show too much gum tissue, this can alter the appearance of your smile. But with gum contouring, we can use lasers to gently trim the excess tissues and reshape the gum line to offer better symmetry and beauty in only one visit. If you have any questions about our approach to cosmetic dentistry, then contact our team today to learn more!
