Can Cosmetic Dentistry Address My Crooked Teeth?

Many people might hear the words “cosmetic dentistry,” and they wonder how much pain they will have to endure and what the process will be like for them. They assume the worst in this situation. They don’t want anything cosmetic done to them, especially when it comes to their teeth. They want to run in the opposite direction. However, with the right attitude and the right knowledge, they will see it is a good thing and it really can fix their crooked teeth. As a matter of fact, I know many people that have had a completely different outlook on their appearance and how they view themselves after successful cosmetic dentistry. It is popular for a reason: they want a smile that lights up a room.

It starts by meeting up with your dentist and talking about a course of action and having a plan of attack on how to best fix your crooked teeth. These dentists have seen all types of teeth, and they know exactly what a patient needs and what is going to give them the best results at the best price. People hear about braces or Invisalign, but those can take a while to show results and they don’t always produce long-lasting results.

In many cases, people get braces or Invisalign, but they still encounter problems down the road. It is why they need to look into cosmetic dentistry as the answer, specifically dental veneers. It doesn’t have the same kind of weird feeling that usually is associated with braces. For many people, they don’t feel anything at all. The only thing they feel is an improved sense of self-confidence from their straight teeth and a great smile. We live in a world where people are taking photos and documenting many of their important moments in life.

When they look back on those photos, they want to look back on them with fondness and happiness. They don’t want to regret how they look. They want to be proud of how they look and know they made the right choice for the long run. 

Most Common Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Cosmetic dentists offer a plethora of services designed to help patients maintain their best beautiful smiles when defects may cause them unease. Issues ranging from discoloration to tooth loss and tooth decay all affect the appearance of our mouth. These issues are also those easily resolved after cosmetic dentistry services.

Tooth Whitening

Don’t confuse teeth whitening service with a tooth cleaning. Dentists perform cleanings at every exam, while whitening service is provided upon request and is needed only once per year. Whitening service removes stains caused by sodas, smoking, and age using a safe bleaching solution. 

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a restorative option for people who are missing one or more teeth. People prefer implants over dentures because they feel and look more like real teeth -and they’re easier to eat and talk with, too. Dental implants are costlier than dentures but nonetheless the most preferred option.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers protect fragile and sensitive teeth from chips, cracks, and other types of damage. They also prevent stains and discolorations. They’re clear so no one knows that the veneers are on the teeth unless you choose to tell them. 

Dental Bonding

Bonding is yet another protective service the cosmetic dentist provides. Dental bonding is used when cracks and chips form in the teeth and stop them from getting any worse. Bonding uses a composite material that is the same color as the teeth.

If you’re ready to improve the look of your smile, a visit to the cosmetic dentist for any of the above services can help. Of course, this list of services only includes a few of the many that a cosmetic dentist provides to improve your smile. It’s easy to love the person you see smiling at you in the mirror after this exciting dental visit!
