Why Choose Cosmetic Procedures

There are many reasons why you might choose to undergo cosmetic dental procedures. Cosmetic procedures can boost your self-confidence by giving you a smile you’re proud of. They can also improve oral health by correcting problems like crooked teeth, bite misalignment, or tooth decay. Some cosmetic procedures can even be used to correct injuries or birth defects.

Types of Cosmetic Procedures

There are many different cosmetic dental care procedures available, and the best one for you will depend on your individual needs. Some of the most popular procedures include:

• Dental Crowns are used to cover up damaged or misshapen teeth. They can also be used to support a dental bridge or tooth implant.
• Dental Implants are used to replace missing teeth. The implant is placed in the jawbone, and a false tooth is then attached to the implant.
• Dental Bridges are used to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two dental crowns, with a false tooth in between.
• Invisalign is a clear aligner system that’s used to straighten teeth. It’s an alternative to traditional metal braces and invisible when you wear it.
• Dental Bonding is a cosmetic procedure used to repair chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth. Bonding is usually made from a tooth-colored composite resin material, which can match the color of your natural teeth.
• Enamel shaping is a cosmetic procedure used to change your teeth’s shape, size, or length. It’s often used in conjunction with bonding to create the desired effect.
• Teeth Whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure that makes your teeth several shades brighter. Teeth whitening is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your smile and correct stained, discolored teeth.
• Porcelain Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers are used to improve the appearance of your teeth, and they can correct various problems, including chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth. Veneers may also be made of composite material, but this material is not as strong as porcelain.
