Do you want to improve the beauty of your smile? If so, then you should consider seeking treatment. With cosmetic dentistry, we can mask stains and reshape your teeth, sometimes in one visit. In today’s blog, your team at Delightful Dental Care talks about cosmetic dentistry in Kansas City, MO.
Teeth Whitening
If you have stained teeth, then cosmetic dentistry can help your smile shine once again. With our professional teeth whitening treatments, we can brighten teeth by several shades. For results in only one sitting, we can offer treatment with a special light and a powerful bleaching gel, which can remove discoloration in as little as one to two hours. Perfect if you need results fast before a big event!
We also have a take-home option, using at-home teeth whitening to brighten teeth by up to eight shades. You add gel to a set of custom trays, and then wear them daily for a specific amount of time, usually about an hour. Optimal results then take as little as a week to see!
Porcelain Veneers
For some, cosmetic dentistry could provide a smile makeover with one procedure in just two visits. With porcelain veneers, we will apply a very thin shell of porcelain to the outside of the tooth. Once in place, this instantly reshapes the tooth and corrects multiple esthetic issues at once, providing a makeover for some. For example, we can cover up teeth stains too severe for a whitening treatment, and even fill in gaps between the teeth. We can lengthen worn-down teeth and even reshape portions too. Repair for minor injuries is possible, and we could even correct the appearance of minor misalignment for a more even-looking smile in just two visits!
Dental Bonding and Contouring
For cosmetic treatment in only one visit, we could help your smile with bonding and contouring. The bonding procedure is similar to a filling placement. We use the same material, a metal-free composite resin, which is shaded to blend with the tooth. The material is applied to the tooth in several layers, and as we sculpt and mold it, we cure the composite resin under a light. The last step is to polish it. We can then mask teeth stains, address gaps between teeth, repair damage, and correct the appearance of misshapen teeth.
Contouring takes a different approach. With this option, we will sand and buff the outer structure to correct esthetic issues in only one visit. For example, our team can smooth out pits, groves, and even rough patches in the exterior of the tooth. Our team could also dull parts that are sharp, jagged, or pointed, and even correct the appearance of a chipped or overly large tooth, all in one sitting!
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? If you have a smile that shows off too much gum tissue, making teeth appear small or uneven, or we could help in only one visit with gum contouring. Employing advanced laser dentistry, we will gently reshape the gum line and remove excess tissues, ensuring an attractive appearance and better symmetry in your bite. The procedure only takes one visit, and the results are instantly visible. You can usually return to your normal routine after only a day or two!
Clear Aligners
If you need cosmetic dentistry to address uneven teeth, we can correct misalignment with our clear and comfortable aligners. Each set in the series is custom-made for your smile and fit snugly, helping you enjoy an even smile in as little as one year. The process involves wearing each set for 20 to 23 hours per day, over a period of about two weeks, until you see optimal results. They are also removable and easy to clean and maintain.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Our team can also use cosmetic dentistry to help mask common signs of aging! For example, with Botox, we can smooth out wrinkles in the face and mask fine lines. This is infected and results last for several months. We also have dermal fillers, which can fill in the deep lines around your nose and mouth for a more youthful appearance.
