Cosmetic dentistry can improve your appearance, specifically your smile. It is like getting a smile upgrade. Cosmetic dentistry can also help restore the functionality of your mouth. Several types of cosmetic dentistry are available and are fantastic options to enhance stained, injured, or worn teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry options. It is simple. It is effective. It is affordable. Teeth can be bleached within our office. Teeth that were once discolored and are now white, are an exciting improvement in your smile.

Another form of cosmetic dentistry is using dental veneers. Dental veneers cover the front surface of the teeth. They are thin and made of tooth colored resin or porcelain. This is an exciting option, as veneers can transform stained, discolored, or chipped teeth.

Similar to dental veneers, dental bonding uses composite resin to cover flaws on your teeth. Dental bonding is a good option for those who have uneven teeth. This is often the preferred type of cosmetic dentistry if there are large spaces between teeth. Bonding can help fill in a crack, chip, or fracture in a tooth.
Reducing these gaps improves your smile.

Dental implants are useful to replace missing teeth. The implant bonds to the jaw and is extremely aesthetic and functional. They last a long time and can even be used to anchor dentures in place.

Another type of cosmetic dentistry is the use of dental crowns. Dental crowns can last for years and are placed over a tooth that has significant flaws. Crowns are matched to your existing tooth, so they blend in and upgrade your smile.
