What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

The primary purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the appearance of teeth, allowing individuals to achieve a confident and radiant smile. Even healthy teeth can sometimes lack the aesthetic appeal we desire due to various factors such as discoloration, misalignment, or imperfections.

Cosmetic dentistry offers a range of treatments and procedures to address these concerns, including teeth whitening to remove stains and brighten smiles, veneers to cover imperfections and create a uniform look, and Invisalign®, which provides a discreet way to straighten teeth without the use of traditional braces. Patients can significantly improve their dental aesthetics and boost their self-esteem by opting for these cosmetic solutions.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry offers a variety of benefits:

Improved smile. If you’re not satisfied with your smile when you look in the mirror or see pictures of yourself, cosmetic dentistry can make improvements that will transform your smile.

Increased confidence.  When you feel better about your smile, you will feel more confident, which can lead to positive changes in your life, from your career to personal relationships.

Dental health benefits.  Some cosmetic procedures also improve dental health, which is an added bonus.

Enhanced Functionality: Certain cosmetic procedures can enhance the functionality of teeth beyond aesthetic improvements. For example, treatments like crowns or bridges not only restore the appearance of missing or damaged teeth but also improve one's ability to chew and speak effectively.
Long-lasting Results: Many cosmetic dentistry procedures offer durable results, meaning that patients can enjoy their new smiles for years to come with proper care. Treatments like porcelain veneers and dental implants are designed to be resilient, providing beauty and longevity in dental aesthetics.

If you want to straighten your teeth, Invisalign® provides a way to do so without braces. Invisalign® consists of clear plastic aligners that fit over your teeth to gradually shift them into the proper position, closing gaps and straightening crooked teeth.

Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells custom-made to fit over the front surfaces of teeth. They are designed to conceal imperfections such as chips, gaps, and discoloration, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. By attaching veneers to the front row of teeth, individuals can achieve a more uniform smile, improving both their confidence and overall oral aesthetics. These durable shells enhance the teeth' visual appeal and offer a long-lasting solution for those seeking to transform their smiles.

Cosmetic Bonding

Tooth-colored composite material is a versatile solution that can effectively reshape chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged teeth. This advanced dental material blends seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth, enhancing your smile's aesthetics, but it also provides a durable repair that can withstand everyday wear. Dentists can skillfully apply this composite to rebuild the tooth's structure, restoring its original form and function while helping maintain your mouth's overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of teeth whitening may vary from one patient to another, but you can expect it to last anywhere from 1-3 years. Your eating and drinking habits may play a part in the longevity of your results, as some foods and beverages tend to stain teeth more than others.
Do Invisalign and other clear aligners work as well as braces?
Clear aligner systems such as Invisalign can treat mild to moderate orthodontic cases. In most cases where the goal is cosmetic improvement, clear aligners are typically effective. A brief evaluation can determine whether or not clear aligners are the right choice for you.
Are Veneers permanent?
Dental veneers are fixed to the teeth and can only be removed by your dentist. They typically last between 10 and 15 years before needing to be replaced. With excellent care and maintenance, they can last even longer.
Is cosmetic dentistry covered by insurance?
Unfortunately cosmetic treatments and procedures are not typically covered by insurance, unless they serve a dental health purpose. Invisalign and other clear aligner systems are considered to be orthodontic treatments, which means they may qualify if your insurance plan covers orthodontics. Financing can make cosmetic dentistry more affordable.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
A common side effect of teeth whitening is sensitive teeth. It is typically only temporary and can be relieved with toothpaste for sensitive teeth in many cases. Not all patients will experience sensitivity, especially if their teeth were not sensitive before teeth whitening treatment.
