Cosmetic Dentistry for You and Your Family

Before choosing which cosmetic dentistry procedure, you want to undergo, it’s crucial to understand what the benefits of each treatment are and what you can expect during the process. Will there be special after-treatment maintenance needed? Will there be restrictions as to diet or lifestyle post-treatment? Here are a couple of things you might want to know before settling on a particular cosmetic dental procedure.

Dental Implants: One of the most common oral appliances are dental implants. They are used to replace lost teeth or fill the spaces between teeth; they’re also a wonderful alternative to bridges. While considerably expensive, implants provide long-term solutions to the aforementioned dental problems.

To be considered for implant treatment, speak with our dentist first. The latter may require you to undergo a comprehensive dental exam and followed by X-rays to see if you’re an ideal candidate.

Once determined that you’re fit for implant treatment, impressions of your lower and upper jaws will be taken. After that, surgical implantation will proceed. Follow-up checkups and post-treatment exams may be required from time to time.

Bridges: Also known as partial dentures, these dental appliances are used to fill the void created by missing teeth. Artificial teeth are anchored on the adjacent teeth to complete your smile. Post-procedure oral hygiene should be strictly followed to maintain the health of the teeth, particularly those on which the artificial teeth rely for support.

Teeth Whitening: Perhaps the most popular cosmetic dentistry option is bleaching or whitening of teeth. The food and drinks we consume carry substances that can cause stains or discoloration. With this in-office procedure, we will restore the pearly white color of your teeth. If you prefer, we can also provide you with an at-home whitening system.

Please note, however, that exposing your teeth to substances like tea or coffee can cause the discolorations to return. When consuming these beverages, make sure to brush your teeth thereafter. If brushing is not a readily available option, just rinse your teeth with antiseptic mouthwash or gargle with water.

Veneers: These dental appliances can contour poorly shaped or slightly crooked teeth. They can also be used on teeth that are permanently stained, chipped or worn. And if you have spaces between teeth, veneers can complete your smile. Less expensive than crowns but last longer than cosmetic bonding, veneers can provide a superior appearance for your smile.

Crowns: Used to cover damaged or worn tooth, crowns can restore your teeth’s normal shape and appearance. It can also be used to hold dental bridges in place or conceal discolored or misshapen teeth.

Cosmetic Bonding: Ideal for chipped, cracked or stained teeth, we provide cosmetic bonding to fill cavities or cover the exposed root of damaged teeth. Cosmetic bonding is also an ideal solution for stained teeth.
