Beautiful teeth are possible with a cosmetic dentist. If you
want a glamorous smile, there are ways to accomplish that goal that are not
painful and can be accomplished fairly quickly.
Event people with crooked teeth can benefit from seeing a dentist that
can straighten them through cosmetic procedures.
We recommend that before you fix the appearance of your
smile you start by improving your health.
Healthy teeth and gums are essential for staying healthy overall, and
this requires both at-home care and in-office dental treatments. Make sure to brush, floss, and rinse with
antiseptic mouthwash daily. This will
prevent bacteria and plaque from building up.
You should also visit the dentist twice a year for regular teeth
cleanings and examinations.
Once your teeth and gums are healthy, we can focus on
cosmetic procedures to improve your smile.
There are several ways that a cosmetic dentist can improve your smile
and straighten your teeth, including:
·
Dental
Veneers. We can place dental veneers
over the top of your existing teeth.
This is an efficient way to improve your smile because dental veneers
look perfect, bright, and beautiful.
Since they are placed on top of your existing teeth, the procedure is
less invasive than implants. Veneers can
be placed on some or all of your teeth. They
are created in a lab to match your teeth color and shape. Your existing teeth are filed down prior to
them being placed so that they lay flat and underneath your gum line.
·
Dental
Implants. You can permanently
straighten your smile with dental implants.
Implants replace your current or missing teeth and root system. In this procedure, a metal piece is implanted
underneath the gum line and secured to your jaw bone. The two will eventually fuse together,
creating a strong synthetic root system.
A second metal piece is secured at the base of the gum line and your new
tooth will be attached to that. Since
your new tooth (or teeth) are created in a lab, they are perfectly sized and
placed to create a stunning smile. This
is actually more effective than braces because, by replacing the root system,
your teeth won’t “move back” over time.
·
Invisalign. If you want to straighten your teeth without
a cosmetic procedure or traditional braces, Invisalign is an ideal option. Clear aligners are created for the duration
of your treatment plan. Every couple of
weeks you replace your aligner at home, and over time your teeth will move into
place. The aligners are like a clear
retainer so no one will know that you are in the process of correcting your
smile. This is ideal for working professionals that need to maintain a
corporate image.
Before starting the procedure to straighten your teeth, we
recommend that you schedule an in-office teeth whitening. Your teeth can become up to eight shades
whiter in a single visit. It is affordable
and makes a great impact. As a cosmetic
dentist, we will match your veneers or implants to the color of your existing
teeth. Whitening your teeth first will
make sure that your entire smile is bright, white, beautiful, and stunning.
