Innovations in dental technology have made a trip to the dentist's office an entirely new experience for millions of Americans - thanks to a relatively new field called cosmetic dentistry.
The main goal of traditional dentistry is to keep your teeth healthy and free of disease and decay; cosmetic dentistry takes dental restorations to a whole new level, with a concentration on enhancing the overall look of your teeth. With cosmetic dentistry, even getting a cavity filled can be an opportunity to improve your smile.
The smile is our window to the world, and it's the first thing that makes an impression on people we meet. So it's no wonder that more and more people are turning to cosmetic dentistry for corrective procedures and aesthetic enhancement.
Improving Your Smile
Cosmetic dentistry, sometimes called "esthetic dentistry," includes a variety of different procedures that not only focus on dental health, but that blend art and science together, in order to improve your appearance. While teeth whitening often comes to mind when people think of cosmetic dentistry, this area of dentistry also includes various other techniques and dental treatments to improve the overall appearance of teeth.
Teeth Whitening
For teeth whitening, we offer the Zoom®, BriteSmile® and GLO™ techniques which whiten teeth in one hour. We also offer bonding, which places tooth-colored resin materials on the surface to repair, support, and protect your tooth. Veneers are made from porcelain or resin and are bonded to teeth, mainly for esthetic purposes. Implants and braces are also two standard devices used in cosmetic dentistry. Implants are used to fill in missing or broken teeth, and braces are used to straighten or realign teeth.
Which teeth whitening technique to use depends on the specifics of your situation. Our cosmetic dentists not only understand the technology behind Cosmetic Dentistry, but also understand the details of your oral health and can help you with your unique cosmetic dentistry needs.
