What Exactly is Cosmetic Dentistry?

A beautiful smile doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Chips, discoloration, gaps, or other flaws can prevent you from feeling your best. Cosmetic dentistry can turn the smile of your dreams into reality, but what does it involve? It isn’t a single procedure. Instead, it’s a scope of dentistry focusing on a variety of elective services that can create picture-perfect smiles.

Cosmetic Dentistry Creates Amazing Smiles

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure because every smile is as unique as fingerprints. After examining your mouth and learning more about your goals, your cosmetic dentist will recommend specific procedures. You have more options than ever to address common aesthetic imperfections, like:

• Porcelain Veneers

A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front side of a tooth to improve its appearance. However, when bonded to the teeth visible when smiling, they can correct many issues at once using a minimally invasive procedure. You can enjoy lasting results without needing multiple treatments.

• Metal-Free Dental Crowns

All ceramic dental crowns provide a metal-free option that’s biocompatible. They are customized using advanced technology to look just like natural teeth. Although they don’t contain any metals, they are equally durable to last for many years.

• Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Cosmetic resin provides an affordable and convenient solution to fix minor imperfections. It is shaded to match the color of your enamel to blend in with the tooth structure, so no one will know what is there. After one appointment, you can enjoy noticeable results.

No matter the method, you’ll have natural-looking results. You’ll never think twice about showing your teeth when smiling, laughing, or chatting with a friend.

Benefit from an Attractive Smile

Cosmetic dentistry is often attributed to vanity, but there are many benefits of a stunning smile. Research has found that your self-esteem is directly affected by the way your teeth look. Resolving the issues will boost your self-esteem and change your outlook on life. 

An attractive smile is more appealing in professional settings. Cosmetic dentistry can ensure your smile is giving the right impression to discover more career opportunities. 

Aesthetics isn’t the only advantage of cosmetic dentistry. Many elective procedures also provide restorative benefits, which can improve the health and function of your teeth.

The benefits of an attractive smile are priceless. Your cosmetic dentist will create the results you want using proven solutions.
