There are many different dental care treatments that you can turn to if you want to improve your smile. Below you will find some basic information on some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry treatments that people turn to in order to enhance their smiles.
Teeth Whitening
Stained teeth can pose a problem if you want to have a nice, wonderful smile. There are a number of substances that cause teeth to become stained (e.g., tobacco products, coffee, tea, soft drinks, wine, the natural aging process) so it’s good to know there is a professional treatment to enhance your smile. Professional-grade
teeth whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades, restoring the luster and appearance of your smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Chipped teeth, cracked teeth, severely stained teeth, and crooked teeth can all harm the appearance of your smile. Thankfully there’s
porcelain veneers. These wafer-thin ceramic shells are able to mask a number of different dental imperfections, making your smile look refreshed and wonderful for years to come.
Invisalign®
If you have crooked teeth, you may immediately think that braces are the only option. That isn’t always the case. If you have a certain degree of crookedness to your teeth, you may be a good candidate for
Invisalign®, which are a series of plastic aligners that can gradually improve the straightness of your teeth.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can run a smile and even cause other health problems down the road. If you are missing some teeth, the remaining teeth may shift out of place due to the spaces left behind. One of the most effective ways to remedy problems with missing teeth is
dental implants. These artificial tooth roots are capped by natural-looking crowns and appear and function just like a natural tooth.
Sedation Dentistry
If multiple treatments are required and you experience some degree of dental anxiety or nervousness, you may be a good candidate to undergo
sedation dentistry, which will ease your anxiety and help your dentist complete the necessary treatment with as little discomfort as possible.
