Cosmetic Dentistry Helps Boost Your Smile’s Appearance

If you have concerns with stains on your teeth, or issues with the shape of them, then we could help with cosmetic dentistry. From professional teeth whitening to custom veneers, we can transform the appearance of your smile. In today’s blog, your team at Elm Creek Dental in Maple Grove, MN, talks about helping smiles with cosmetic dentistry.

Starting with a Cosmetic Consultation

To begin, we want to talk to you about your concerns for your smile and what you hope to see addressed. Our team will then take a look at your smile with digital x-rays and advanced intraoral cameras, so we can accurately assess the cause and severity of your cosmetic imperfections. Our team can then choose one or more of our cosmetic treatments to reshape and transform your smile, often in as little as one visit!

Teeth Whitening

If you have teeth stains, then our team can remove them with professional teeth whitening. Our team will assess the severity of your teeth stains and choose the right option for you. For some, we could lift stains in one visit with our in-office teeth whitening procedure, using a bleaching gel and special light. The process takes just an hour in some cases. For more severe stains, we could brighten teeth by up to eight shades with our take-home whitening kit! This uses special plastic trays and a bleaching gel to break up stains over a period of a week to ten days.

Bonding and Contouring

We also offer two same-day cosmetic treatments to brighten and enhance smiles in one sitting. With bonding, we apply a composite resin to the teeth that we shade to blend with them. This enables us to cover stains, fill gaps between the teeth, repair minor injuries, and correct these issues in only one sitting. We also have contouring, in which we sand and buff the outer surfaces to reshape malformed, overly large, or chipped teeth. The process can also dull portions that are sharp, jagged, and pointed, and even smooth away rough patches, pits, and grooves in the teeth. Again, this only takes one visit to complete!

Porcelain Veneers

For a smile makeover, our team can place one or more of our custom porcelain veneers. These are very thin dental restorations that we attach to the front of the teeth. When in place, this instantly reshapes the teeth and corrects multiple issues at once, including teeth gaps, unsightly gaps, and even the appearance of poor alignment. They can stay in place for years to come, and we could combine these with other treatments for a true smile makeover as well.
