Do you want a smile that looks stunning and helps you make a great first impression? If so, then you could benefit from our cosmetic treatment options, including professional teeth whitening and clear orthodontic aligners! In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist looks at our approach to cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth Whitening at Home
Do you want your smile to truly shine? Then you should talk to our team about teeth whitening to remove stains and offer results that last far longer than store-bought options. With our at-home teeth whitening treatment, we will create a set of custom plastic trays and then send this home with you. We also provide multiple plastic syringes of a powerful bleaching gel, which can be added to the trays. When you arrive home, you will add gel to the trays and then wear them for a set amount of time each day, usually between 30 and 45 minutes. The trays ensure the gel is evenly distributed across your smile, and prevent saliva from diluting the results. The total treatment time takes about one to two weeks, and you could enjoy a smile several shades brighter.
Dental Bonding and Contouring
Our team could also offer same-day cosmetic results with bonding and contouring. With dental bonding, we use the same metal-free composite resin as our fillings, placed in several layers to help repair cracked or chipped teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. With contouring, we sand and buff the outer tooth structure to correct the appearance of minor chips, address overlay large or misshapen teeth, and smooth away grooves, pits, and rough patches in the surfaces. Our team can also use contouring to correct sharp, jagged, or pointed tooth structure.
Custom Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin dental restorations that cover the front of the teeth. When in place, these can instantly transform the shape and color of the teeth. These thin restorations can mask permanent teeth stains, close gaps and triangle spaces between the teeth, and add length to structure worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). Veneers also reshape malformed teeth, improve bite balance, and can even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter looking smile without the need for braces or aligners. For some, this is a smile makeover in only two visits.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Did you know that we offer Botox and dermal fillers? With Botox, we will inject a special medication into the face and jaw, which then helps ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For those with TMJ disorder and bruxism, this can also ease symptoms and bring relief. We also have dermal fillers, which scan fill the deep lines around your nose and mouth. We can administer these as part of your checkup visit, as the results tend to last about six months.
Gum Contouring
What if you show off too much gum tissue when you smile? If so, then you may benefit from our gum contouring procedure. Using advanced dental lasers, we gently trim away excess tissues to ensure an even and symmetrical gum line, so your teeth no longer appear snort or uneven. The same tools can be used to help manage gum disease by removing the diseased portions of your gums, enabling us to manage the issue moving forward with preventive treatment options.
Clear Aligner Systems
What if you have crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth? Dental misalignment can harm both the health and beauty of your smile, and even impact bite function. Which is why we want to correct the issue with orthodontics. We have a cosmetic alternative to traditional braces with clear aligners. These are custom-made for your smile and fit snugly over your teeth. Each set helps guide your teeth closer and closer to proper alignment, with optimal results possible in as little as one year. The aligners can be removed before you eat or brush and floss, so you don’t have to change your diet and caring for your smile is much simpler when compared to braces. They are easy to clean and use, and travel with you too.
