The important thing about advances in dental technology is that a healthy, beautiful smile is always in your reach. Cosmetic dentistry is a specific area of dentistry that focuses on not only improving your oral hygiene but also making your smile more aesthetically pleasing to look at. The most common types of popular cosmetic dentistry procedures are teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants and dentures.
Whether if you have a chipped or missing tooth or if your teeth have yellowed with age, the team at Valley Dental Practice can help you bring back your beautiful smile and your self-confidence. Do not hide in the shadows anymore. Be proud of your smile.
Teeth Whitening
The most common complaint adults have about their teeth is that they are not as white as they used to be. Teeth whitening is a straightforward process that is a quick and affordable way to get a brighter smile, whether your teeth are really yellowed or only stained a little bit.
While there are at-home whitening kits, for the best results you should be treated by a cosmetic dentist who will use only the best and safest ingredients and procedures. By opting for a professional teeth whitening, you will be able to start flashing those pearly whites a lot sooner than if you rely on those tooth-whitening toothpastes.
Veneers
If your concern is more about chipped teeth, then getting veneers, basically a thin layer of porcelain, put on those teeth will help protect and strengthen them. These chips if left untreated could lead to bigger cracks, so it is not just an aesthetic problem. Veneers can change the colour, shape, size, and length of your teeth. The veneers will look just like your natural teeth and they will be bonded securely to your tooth. Veneers are durable and easy to take care of.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can help not only the appearance but also the health of your mouth. Dental implants are more permanent than dentures and bridges and the best part is that none of the surrounding teeth have to be modified in the process. A dental implant is basically a post made of titanium that substitutes as a tooth root. In order to be eligible for dental implants, your gums must be healthy and there must be enough bone to support the post. If the bone is too weak, you might need a bone graft.
Dentures
Dentures are an option for missing teeth and a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure. If you have more than one or two missing teeth, dentures instead of dental implants are the more economical way to go. Dentures are fake teeth that you can remove to clean. Both partial and full dentures are available depending on how many teeth you have missing.
When choosing the right cosmetic dentist, make sure that they have the skills and enough years of experience in cosmetic dentistry to give you confidence that they can give you the results you desire. Before deciding on a cosmetic dentist, schedule a consultation so you can ask about what the best options are for your particular situation.
