A visit to a cosmetic dentist is about more than just a bright, beautiful smile.
Sure, cosmetic dentistry’s primary focus is enhancing the visual appeal of a patient’s smile. However, many cosmetic dentistry treatments are more than superficial solutions and can play a major role in restoring the health of an individual’s teeth, gums, and bite.
Understanding your oral health goals and the cosmetic dentistry treatments that can help you achieve them is crucial to making informed decisions about achieving the smile of your dreams.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Tooth-colored (or composite) fillings are a highly effective and aesthetically pleasant option for treating cavities and damaged teeth. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, tooth-colored fillings use composite resin or porcelain to blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
The benefits of tooth-colored fillings go beyond mere aesthetics. They require less removal of healthy tooth structure than metal fillings, helping preserve the integrity of your natural tooth structure. Also, the composite material bonds to the tooth, creating a strong seal that reduces the risk of future decay.
Precise Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are among the most important devices in cosmetic dentistry. These spectacularly durable marvels replicate the feel and function of natural tooth roots. In doing this, they fully restore biting and chewing function and help maintain facial structure by providing stimulation necessary to prevent jawbone attrition that can accompany tooth loss.
Dental Veneer Placement
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made (typically of porcelain or composite resin) shells that cover the fronts of chipped, cracked, misshapen, gapped, or discolored teeth to restore a natural, visually appealing look. Veneer placement involves removing a small amount of enamel to increase coarseness and allow dental cement to adhere more strongly.
