Cosmetic Dentistry Options:
Cosmetic dentists use a variety of techniques to create a more pleasing
smile. The following is a list of common cosmetic dentistry options:
Teeth Whitening
There are two methods for whitening teeth: laser whitening (performed
in the cosmetic dentist's office) and at-home bleaching (involving
the use of take-home bleaching kits).
Porcelain Veneers
A ceramic shell applied to the front of the teeth to create a whiter
appearance.
Bonding of Chipped Teeth
The use of a tooth colored material that is applied to the teeth.
It can then be polished and shaped to look like the rest of the
teeth.
Which procedure is right for me?
Your dentist can answer many of the questions you may have about
techniques used to improve your smile. The condition of your teeth
and desired result you want often dictates the best procedure. If
you are considering a treatment, there are a few questions you can
ask your dentist before deciding if a particular procedure is right
for you.
What will the changes look like?
What should I expect through the course of treatment?
What type of maintenance will be required?
Your dentist will answer questions you may have about the procedure,
maintenance and price to help you choose the treatment that best
suits you.
