Cosmetic Dentistry for a New You

If you have been considering a makeover for your teeth and gums, contact your dentist who can help determine what cosmetic or restorative dental treatments would be best for your smile.

Cosmetic and restorative dental procedures are not entirely cosmetic as treatments such as dental implants can actually improve your bite.

These days you don’t have to spend a fortune or several months to get the smile that you have always wanted. Modern dental technology has made it possible to fix chips, cracks and fill in gaps in just one appointment with an affordable solution known as CEREC®. With CEREC®, you can have the smile of your dreams in just one single visit. CEREC® is used for veneers, dental crowns and to replace your old silver amalgam fillings. Some dentists are even using CEREC® for dental implants.
If your stained or discolored teeth cannot be helped with over the counter or professional tooth whitening, you may want to consider Dental Veneers. Dental Veneers have come a long way and can cover up those interior stains or old restorations that have been keeping you from smiling.

Of course, if you are unsure about Dental Veneers, but would still like to close that gap between your teeth, talk to your dentist about dental bonding. Dental bonding is a procedure that is used for inlays, onlays and chipped teeth. Your dentist may also recommend dental bonding to lengthen your short teeth or to replace your old fillings.

If you have always disliked your smile because your gum line nearly covers your teeth, call and schedule an appointment with your dentist for crown lengthening. Crown lengthening is a procedure that can be used to get rid of your gummy smile.

Tooth recontouring is another procedure that your dentist may consider if you do not like the shape of your teeth. Reshaping or recontouring, also known as slenderizing, stripping, enameloplasty or odontoplasty is a dental procedure that your dentist may use to remove small amounts of enamel on your teeth. This will change the surface, shape, or length of your tooth or teeth. Recontouring is used to balance your smile.
