An award winning cosmetic dentist can help you create the smile that you have always wanted. These are oral professionals who spend most of their time addressing problems that affect the way that a person’s teeth look. These dentists develop an artistic sense for spotting imperfections on teeth and coming up with ways to fix them without compromising their appearance.
Getting a smile transformed by an award winning cosmetic dentist starts with a consultation. The dentist will examine the patient’s teeth and gums, looking for flaws that impact how their smile looks. A treatment plan that tackles all these issues can then be created.
A cosmetic dentist can improve the way that a patient’s teeth and gums look. Commonly used cosmetic treatments include:
Improving the color of a person’s teeth is one of the most drastic ways to transform their smile. We all start with white teeth, but they pick up stains and discoloration over the years. Dentists perform whitening treatments with whitening products that are more concentrated than anything sold over-the-counter. These products bleach stains out of teeth with chemicals like hydrogen peroxide working as the active ingredient.
This involves using mixtures of plastic and glass to repair and rebuild damaged teeth. The composite matches the color of the patient’s teeth, so any repairs made do not stick out. Restoring teeth with composite resin is a non-invasive approach that does not require making permanent changes to the treated tooth. This allows the patient to explore other options in the future if they choose to do so
These are thin, tooth-shaped restorations that are used to hide issues affecting the front-facing part of a tooth. Veneers are powerful tools in a cosmetic dentist’s arsenal, and they can be used to transform any smile. Treatment with veneers typically involves shaving off some enamel from the front of a tooth so the restoration does not make it bulkier.
These restorations provide therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. The crown covers the visible part of the tooth, also called a crown, and hides any flaws on it. Issues that crowns can cover up include stained, chipped, broken, fractured, or deformed teeth. Covering an issue with a crown tends to lead to better aesthetics and protects the tooth from additional damage.
These are often recommended to replace missing teeth because they are the only oral prosthetics that replace teeth roots. This gives the wearer’s jaw the stimulation that it needs to remain healthy, preventing the bone tissue loss that often occurs when a tooth is lost.
