A picture says a thousand words and in a world with thousands of pictures, your smile says a lot about you. Having a bright smile to greet the world is naturally a desire that most people have. If you have a crooked smile, yellowed or stained teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, and want to improve your smile, there are several cosmetic dentistry procedures that will give you the smile you have always wanted. “But which cosmetic dentistry procedures will improve my smile,” you may be asking yourself. The answer is that it depends on what is making your smile less than sparkling.

Cosmetic procedures

Patients who are not satisfied with their smile may think that if they do not need braces, there isn’t much that can be done to improve their teeth. But the truth is there are multiple different procedures that can improve your smile that vary in time in the chair, cost, and treatment plan. Cosmetic dentistry is collectively defined as any dental procedure that improves your smile’s appearance. Cosmetic dental procedures include:

• Teeth Whitening
• Traditional Braces or Invisible Braces
• Porcelain Veneers
• Restorations
• Esthetic Bonding

Which one is right for me?

Teeth Whitening – Color is one of the biggest complaints people have about their teeth. Fortunately, teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in dentistry! Take your teeth from dull to dazzling in just one appointment with near-instant results.

Braces– Correcting crooked, crowded teeth as well as correcting overbites, crossbites, underbites improve your smile and are excellent for your overall oral health. A crowded mouth is more difficult to keep clean and can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Porcelain Veneers– They are an excellent option for people who have broken, cracked, short, misshapen teeth. Porcelain veneers are thin and are attached to the front of the tooth, concealing imperfections and giving you a life-long perfect smile.

Restorations– Similarly to the veneers, porcelain can be used as a discrete, less allergic-inducing, heat-resistant crown.

Esthetic Bonding– For fast solutions to cracked, discolored, and gapped teeth, esthetic bonding can be placed on the teeth to conceal these minor imperfections.

Affordable

Getting the perfect smile so you can feel confident in your appearance may seem unattainable and expensive. But cosmetic dentistry procedures can be much more affordable than you may think. Finding a dentist office that accepts all major dental PPO insurances and offers CareCredit paying service is beneficial in getting the dental work you need without hurting your wallet.
