What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Do for Your Smile?

Does your smile feel like an asset or a liability? For many people, there are small changes they’d like to make to their smiles. A bright, straight smile can boost your confidence and help you feel good about your appearance, and that has real value. What you may not know is that there are plenty of cosmetic dentistry options to make small adjustments to your smile, and many of them are very affordable. If you can pin down what it is that you’d like to change about your smile, your dentist can help you design a cosmetic treatment plan to make those changes happen.

Would You Like a Straighter, More Even Smile?

Crooked teeth can be a big impediment to you feeling good about your smile. Crowding can create an unsightly appearance, and it can make your teeth more difficult to clean. Everyone wants a straight, even smile, and cosmetic dentistry offers solutions. Invisible aligners can help with minor cases of misalignment. These aligners are discreet and comfortable to wear as they straighten your teeth over time. If your smile looks particularly uneven because of size or shape discrepancies in a couple of teeth, dental bonding and contouring can help. These treatments gently shape or add to tooth enamel to create a more proportional appearance to each of your teeth.

Could Your Smile Be Brighter?

If your teeth are suffering from staining, you are not alone. Staining is a problem for almost everyone. That’s because we all eat food and drink drinks. These simple actions introduce pigments to our teeth, and over time, those pigments become trapped beneath the enamel of our teeth, creating a yellowed appearance. Teeth whitening through your dentist offers professional-grade bleaching to remove the pigment from your teeth. After a few weeks of whitening treatment, your smile will likely be noticeably brighter.

Dental Veneers Create a Symmetrical, Bright Smile

Dental veneers are an enticing cosmetic option because they can fix multiple issues with one treatment. Veneers are thin sheets of dental porcelain that are bonded to the surfaces of your existing teeth. The veneers can be fabricated to create a symmetrical, even appearance across your entire smile. Your dentist can also treat your veneers so that the appearance of the set of veneers is white and bright. Dental veneers can help your smile look its very best.
