Cosmetic Dentistry Q&A

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses an assortment of procedures to improve the aesthetic of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Cosmetic services can whiten and realign teeth, fix chips, and provide replacement teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry techniques, such as crowns, mitigate damage from infection and aid in a beautiful, natural-looking smile. Often, these services also improve jaw function with added support and stability. Standard cosmetic dentistry procedures include:

Crowns

Crowns help conceal a newly reshape tooth that was once affected by physical damage or infection. Thanks to innovative technological solutions, crowns fit over your tooth and blend in seamlessly. 

Bridges

Like crowns, bridges also repair damaged and missing teeth with an artificial, natural-looking set. Bridges comprise several crowns secured together to fix multiple teeth.

Veneers

Veneers address many concerns, such as chips, cracks, and discoloration. Veneers provide a custom-fit solution when you’re looking to beautify many teeth at once. 

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic procedure. It brightens teeth and removes stains, as the name suggests. Over-the-counter whitening solutions often come with minimal results due to their formulations. In-office teeth whitening procedures offer stronger and more effective products.

What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
