About Cosmetic Dentistry

18452105_sCosmetic dentistry is dental care and treatment to improve the appearance of your teeth in order to give you the smile you’ve always wanted. Many patients report a dramatic boost in self-esteem and self-confidence after a cosmetic dental procedure.

Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures

The most popular cosmetic dental procedure is teeth whitening. However, teeth whitening is just one aspect. Cosmetic dental bonding and porcelain veneers are also wonderful treatment options for some patients.

Teeth whitening is a process in which a bleaching agent is applied to the teeth to reduce or remove stains and discoloration.  Whiter teeth look healthier and more attractive.

Cosmetic dental bonding can resolve problems caused by chipped, cracked or broken teeth. It can also be used to reduce undesirable gaps between teeth. An experienced cosmetic dentist can correct those imperfections with dental bonding materials applied directly to the teeth. The dental bonding compound hardens on the teeth and provides an instant improvement to your smile.

Porcelain veneers are another popular cosmetic dental procedure. They are custom-made for each individual patient, so it is not a “one day” procedure like teeth whitening and cosmetic dental bonding.  The veneers are essentially “shells” that cover the front of the teeth to create that perfect smile.
