Here is a brief rundown of some common cosmetic dental treatments available near you.

Teeth Whitening/Bleaching

A popular cosmetic dental option taken advantage of by is teeth whitening. Whether done in-office or at home, this is an excellent option for those looking for a quick and effective way to impact their smile positively. Not only is teeth whitening one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry options available, but it is excellent for those who are just starting to “dip their toes” into the cosmetic dental world. If you have teeth that are discolored or stained, a professional teeth whitening treatment is exactly what you are looking for. Do not settle for over-the-counter options which will not provide the same results or guidance that you get from a professional treatment.

Cosmetic Bonding

If you have teeth that are deeply stained (and not responding to whitening treatments), chipped, cracked, or gapped, dental bonding could be a great option made available to you. The same material used for white dental fillings is used for dental bonding. This material is highly moldable, allowing your dentist to shape it as needed when applying. This material is also highly customizable in color and shade, allowing your dentist to match it to your unaltered, natural teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Often considered a gold standard of cosmetic dental treatment, porcelain veneers have (for decades) provided cosmetic enhancement to teeth suffering from a wide range of issues. A veneer is a very thin shell applied to a tooth’s front surface. Minimal tooth preparation is needed, with a very thin layer of enamel shaved off. This process is painless but irreversible, so make sure that veneers are something you really want before diving in. Veneers are ideal for several cosmetic issues, including chipped, fractured, discolored, stained, and misshapen teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign can also be considered orthodontic, but it provides incredible cosmetic benefits if you have teeth that suffer from mild to moderate alignment issues. Invisalign is a great option that provides not only great results but also incredibly discreet. Using these clear, plastic aligner trays, your teeth will look amazing once the treatment plan is completed. You must wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily for optimum results.
