Your smile is the first thing that people often notice about you. It has the power to create an incredibly lasting impression. When your smile is less than perfect, however, it has the power to leave the wrong impression. You should not have to live with your smile saying the wrong things about you. Excellent Dental Specialists can give you a beautiful smile that shows the world who you are with cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry is focused on improving and enhancing the appearance of your smile. The goal is to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted. With a more beautiful smile, your confidence increases. In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, some types of cosmetic dentistry procedures can also help to improve your oral health as well.
Cosmetic dentistry can fix some different cosmetic issues including:
| • | Tooth discoloration. |
| • | Chipped or cracked teeth. |
| • | Gapped teeth. |
| • | Overlapping teeth. |
| • | Teeth that are uneven, oddly shaped, or unusually sized. |
| • | Excess gum tissue, which can cause a gummy smile. |
| • | Gum recession. |
There are several different cosmetic procedures that can help to enhance the beauty of your smile and help you to regain your confidence.
| • | Teeth whitening. |
| • | Dental bonding. |
| • | Porcelain veneers. |
| • | Ceramic crowns. |
| • | Tooth contouring. |
| • | Dental implants. |
| • | Gum recontouring. |
| • | Aesthetic gum lift. |
| • | Gum grafting. |
As with any other type of dental procedure, there are some risks involved with cosmetic dental procedures. For instance, teeth whitening can cause temporary tooth sensitivity. Ceramic crowns may not be placed correctly, which can result in a painful infection. Dental implants may fail or cause nerve damage. There are some risks associated with sedation. However, we are experienced in cosmetic dental procedures, and take every precaution to ensure that your procedure goes smoothly and that you do not experience any complications.
With good oral hygiene practices, you can help to ensure that your new smile lasts for a long time to come. It is essential that you brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and have your teeth regularly cleaned and examined. In addition to oral hygiene, avoiding foods that have darker pigments or those that cause physical damage can help the results of your cosmetic procedures to last.
When your smile is impacted by cosmetic issues, your confidence decreases. You may try to hide your smile from those around you, whether you cover your mouth with your hand or give tight-lipped grins. While these actions might seem insignificant, they can give off the wrong impression. Cosmetic dentistry enhances the natural beauty of your smile, giving you back your confidence. Some cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening, are available over the counter, but these products rarely help you achieve the results you want. We can customize all of your cosmetic treatments to meet your specific needs, helping you to achieve optimal results.
