Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and the overall smile. Cosmetic dentistry procedures can address a wide range of issues including discolored, chipped, crooked, or missing teeth, as well as other cosmetic concerns.
Some of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and orthodontics. Teeth whitening can remove stains and discoloration caused by food, drinks, smoking, or age, resulting in a brighter, more youthful smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth, improving their appearance and protecting them from damage. Bonding uses a tooth-colored material to repair chips or cracks in teeth or to reshape them for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Orthodontics, such as braces or clear aligners, can straighten teeth and correct misalignments.
By addressing cosmetic concerns, people can enjoy a brighter, more confident smile, which can lead to improved social and professional interactions. Additionally, cosmetic dentistry can help to correct dental issues that may lead to more serious oral health problems if left untreated.
