Do you feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile? If so, then you may want to talk to us about cosmetic dentistry! With treatments like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and even Botox, we can help boost the appearance of your teeth and facial esthetics. In today’s blog, your team at Delight Dental Care in Kansas City, MO, talks about improving smiles with cosmetic dentistry!
Teeth Stains? Try Teeth Whitening!
If you have stains on the surfaces of your teeth, then you should consider professional teeth whitening. With cosmetic dentistry, we have two different ways to brighten your smile, often by as many as eight shades. For fast results, we have an in-office procedure that can be completed in as little as one hour. With this option, we use a combination of a bleaching gel and a special light to lift stains in one appointment. If you have more severe teeth stains, then our team could offer custom plastic trays and a powerful bleaching gel, which you use at home. You simply add the gel to the trays and wear them for a specific amount of time, usually about an hour a day, and after a week to ten days you could see optimal results!
New Smiles with Porcelain Veneers
We also have an option with cosmetic dentistry that can makeover your smile. With a single treatment option, we could tackle multiple issues at once. Porcelain veneers are thin dental restorations that are custom-made for your smile and attached to the front-facing sides of your teeth. When attached, these mask stains, reshape malformed teeth, fill gaps between them, and even lengthen worn down teeth and address minor injuries. Placement could even correct the appearance of minor alignment concerns! For some, multiple veneers could mean a smile makeover, so talk to our exam about them today.
Hiding Aging with Botox and Dermal Fillers
With Botox and Dermal Fillers, we have unique treatments that are injected into specific areas of your face. These can help manage migraines and even oral health concerns like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). But with cosmetic dentistry, we can use these to hide the common signs of aging, easing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and filling in deep lines around your nose and mouth. Administration is quick and easy, and we can re-administer as needed in your routine checkup and cleaning visits every six months.
Same-Day Care with Bonding and Contouring
What if we could take on multiple cosmetic issues in a single visit? With dental bonding, we can apply a special composite resin to the teeth, reshaping them and masking common issues in one sitting. With contouring, we sand and buff the tooth to ease the appearance of minor cosmetic concerns, again taking only one sitting to see optimal results.
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? If you show off too much gum tissue when you smile, we can help with cosmetic dentistry. With a dental laser, we can gently remove excess tissues and reshape the gum line to ensure proper symmetry and balance. This provides same-day results, and the treated area heals quickly, so you can return to your normal routine fast. Gum contouring can help reshape your smile and easily harmful bacteria in the process, lowering your risk of gum disease.
Invisalign®
If you have an uneven smile, we can offer a cosmetic alternative to metal braces. With the Invisalign® system, we will create a series of custom aligner trays, which fits over your teeth. Each set is designed to gradually and gently reposition your teeth, so every two weeks when you move on to the next set, your smile is closer to optimal alignment. Total treatment time takes about a year for some, and the removability of your aligners make mealtime and brushing and flossing a much easier experience. These are clear orthodontics that stay practically visible, making them a preferred option for teens and adults looking to strengthen their uneven smiles.
If you have any questions about cosmetic dentistry, or about how we can transform the appearance of your smile in only one visit, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help you smile with confidence and enjoy results that can last for months and years to come. At the same time, these treatments could help boost bite function and oral health too.
