What Can Cosmetic Dentists Do?

Did you know that over half of all Americans feel self-conscious about their teeth? Even if their teeth are healthy, they’re not happy with the overall aesthetic of their smiles. 

Does this sound familiar?

If so, it might be time to look into local cosmetic dentists. Cosmetic dentists focus on aesthetic issues instead of dental health issues (though the two are often intertwined). 

We’re here to talk about a few popular cosmetic dentistry procedures so you can decide if they’re right for you. Read on to learn more. 

Teeth Whitening

If your teeth are straight and healthy, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to be pearly white. As a matter of fact, most healthy teeth are slightly off-white. If you have stains or especially dark teeth, however, you might feel self-conscious about your smile. 

Your local dentist will offer teeth whitening services so you get get the shiny smile that you’ve always wanted. It’s safe and effective and you’ll get instant results. 

Damage Restoration 

Do you have chipped, broken, or otherwise damaged teeth? Cosmetic dentists know how to solve your problem. They use a variety of methods to make your teeth look as good as new. 

They can use dental crowns to hide and protect any significant breaks. They can also use dental bonding to repair imperfections that don’t impact the health of your teeth (bonus: you can do those in a single appointment!). 

Making Teeth Look Uniform

If your teeth look uneven, you might not feel like you have many options. With modern technology, a good cosmetic dentist has the solution for you.

For mild problems, bonding is a great option. If you want to make significant changes, however, you can get veneers. Porcelain veneers are like small tooth-colored shields that you put over your natural teeth.

The cosmetic dentist will make them all uniform for a complete smile makeover. You can make your teeth larger, straighter, and whiter with veneers. 

Replacing Teeth

If you’re missing one or several teeth, it’s normal to feel insecure about your smile. Missing teeth can also harm your jaw bone. It’s best to get this problem fixed as soon as you’re able to. 

Cosmetic dentists can use dental bridges to replace a single missing tooth. They place crowns over the surrounding teeth to hold the new “tooth” in place.

You can also get dental implants. A metal implant replaces your natural tooth root (meaning that you won’t have to deal with bone loss in your jaw). A crown goes on top of the implant to replace your natural tooth.

Results from implants look and feel natural once you’re finished healing.

Cosmetic Dentists Can Transform Your Smile

If you’re in need of a smile makeover, it might be time to contact your local cosmetic dentists. Whether you simply need a teeth whitening session or you need to replace one (or several) teeth, a cosmetic dentist will transform your smile so you’re happy to show it off again.
