Cosmetic Dentistry
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With dentistry's many advances,
you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth. You now have
choices that can help you smile with confidence.
Even the most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the
way you look and feel about yourself. Talk to your dentist about the options most
suitable for you, what your expectations are and the dental fees involved. Some
options are:
Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked,
stained, or have spaces between them. With bonding, tooth-colored materials are
applied, or bonded, to the tooth surface.
Enamel shaping involves modifying teeth to improve their appearance by removing
or contouring enamel. The process, which often is combined with bonding, usually
is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen immediately.
Veneers are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of teeth.
Made of tooth-colored materials, veneers are used to treat spaces between teeth
and teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained, poorly shaped or slightly
crooked.
Tooth whitening (bleaching) brightens teeth that are discolored or stained.
Bleaching may be done completely in the dental office or the dentist may dispense
a system for you to use at home.
