Do you want your smile to look its best during your summer vacation? Then talk to our team about cosmetic dentistry! From teeth whitening to veneers and even facial treatments like Botox, we can help boost the appearance of your smile. In today’s blog, your team at Delightful Dental Care talks about cosmetic dentistry!
Teeth Whitening for Stain Removal
If you have stained teeth, then we could brighten them with professional teeth whitening. Our team will examine your smile to assess the severity of your stains, and then with cosmetic dentistry we can choose from two different teeth whitening options. The in-office option uses a combination of a special bleaching gel and a light to remove stains in as little as an hour. For smiles eight shades brighter, we could offer a take-home kit that uses a set of custom plastic trays and multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. You don’t have to rely on less-than-stellar results using store-bought strips and toothpastes, we can help offer dramatic results that can last for months to come!
Reshaping Teeth with Bonding and Contouring
What if we could take on several esthetic issues at once, all in a single visit? We can do so with cosmetic dentistry! Dental bonding involves using the same composite resin we employ in our fillings to mask imperfections and repair teeth, covering stains, filling gaps between teeth. Addressing misshapen teeth, and even repairing minor injuries. We could also address multiple cosmetic issues with contouring, sanding and buffing the tooth to correct the appearance of chips or overly large teeth. We can also smooth away grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces. We can also dull sharp, pointed, and jagged teeth too, all in one sitting.
Smile Makeovers with Veneers
For a smile makeover, our team could reshape smiles with porcelain veneers. With these thin and lifelike restorations, we will correct minor injuries, address misshapen portions, fill gaps between the teeth, and even mask teeth stains too severe to be removed with whitening. The placement process could also correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you obtain a more even smile in the process. Veneers are very thin and we take time to custom-make them for you, so once placed they blend with your smile seamlessly!
Botox and Fillers
What about the appearance of aging? With treatments like Botox and Dermal Fillers, we can inject treatments that help ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, so you enjoy a more youthful appearance. We can inject these and re-administer them down the road as needed to help you enjoy a younger appearance. Along with their cosmetic benefits, these can also help ease the pain of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) to bring relief and stop further complications with your bite balance and more.
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? If you have a smile that shows off too much gum tissue, also known as a gummy smile, this could impact your appearance. Teeth could even look small or uneven! But we could reshape the gum tissue with comfort and precision using dental lasers. This can take only one visit and heal quickly, so you can return to your normal routine in as little as one to two days. Using the lasers, we will gently trim away the diseased or excessive portions of your gums, and then take time to ensure proper symmetry and balance in your gum line afterward. The lasers mean no need for scalpels or sutures, and the process also rarely requires anesthesia at all! In one visit, we can correct your gummy smile.
Our Invisalign® Aligners
What if you have dental misalignment? If you have uneven teeth, we can help with cosmetic dentistry! With Invisalign®, we have a way to correct uneven teeth without the need for metal braces. We will instead take images and impressions of your tie, which are then used to design and craft a series of clear and comfortable plastic aligners. You wear a set from the series for about two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day, and repeat the process as your smile is corrected, which could take as little as one year! These can also be removed for added convenience when you eat or before you brush and floss.
