Do you want to improve your smile? Maybe you have some cosmetic imperfections in your teeth that make you feel self-conscious. You don’t have to live with them.
Cosmetic dentistry can enhance the appearance of your teeth and provide some oral health benefits in many cases. Dentex Smile Studio can help you achieve your dream smile with the right combination of cosmetic treatments and procedures.
Teeth Whitening
One of the easiest and most common ways to improve your smile is with professional teeth whitening treatment.
- In-office whitening treatment provides dramatically whiter teeth in a single appointment. Your dentist will apply the whitening treatment and use a special light to accelerate the whitening process.
- At-home whitening treatment comes with a custom made tray, allowing you to gradually whiten your teeth at home. You should see results in about 2 weeks.
Invisalign
Do you want straighter teeth? Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that can straighten teeth and close gaps between teeth. It can also alleviate crowding and align your bite so that your upper row of teeth meet together properly with the lower teeth.
Veneers
Veneers can conceal cosmetic imperfections in your teeth, such as stains, chips, gaps, and crooked teeth. They are thin porcelain shells that attach to the front of each tooth, mainly the ones that are visible when you smile. Veneers can make the teeth look more uniform in length, shape, and color for a natural looking smile.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding can be used to correct minor imperfections, such as small chips or stains that don’t respond to teeth whitening treatment. Tooth-colored composite resin, the same material that is used to fill cavities, is applied to reshape teeth or cover stains.
Porcelain Crowns
A tooth that has sustained significant damage or is severely decayed can be restored with a porcelain crown. A crown is a tooth-shaped cover that fits over your natural tooth. Porcelain is the most common material for crowns because it resembles tooth enamel, giving you a natural appearance. Crowns are also restorative, saving your natural tooth and root.
Dental Bridges
When a tooth is missing or too damaged to be saved, a dental bridge provides a replacement. A bridge is a row of porcelain teeth with crowns on each end that fit over the teeth on both sides of the gap. One or more artificial teeth, called pontics, are suspended between the crowns to replace the missing teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer the most natural appearance and function of any dental prosthetic. They can replace any number of teeth. A dental implant consists of a titanium post that takes the place of the natural tooth root and provides an anchor for a dental prosthetic, such as a crown, bridge, or dentures. Dental implants not only restore the function of your teeth, but also give you a natural looking smile.
Dentures
When you need to have multiple or all of your teeth replaced, dentures provide a functional, natural looking option. Traditional dentures are supported by suction and adhesives. Implant supported dentures are securely anchored in place with 4-6 dental implants placed in the jaw.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
When a treatment or procedure serves a cosmetic purpose exclusively, insurance will not cover it. However, if the purpose of the procedure is to restore oral health, such as a crown or dentures, your insurance may cover it according to the stipulations of your plan.
How long will my smile makeover take?
The time it takes to complete your smile makeover depends on the number and types of procedures you are having done. A complete smile transformation could take a few months to a year or more.
