Wishing Your Smile Better Reflected Who You Are?

Most people would agree that along with the eyes, your smile is the first thing people notice about you. It is how you express yourself and connect with others. When your smile is a true reflection of how you feel inside, your best self will shine through. Research has shown that a genuine smile can only be brought on by genuine positive emotions. According to research done by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a new smile can make you look more intelligent, interesting, and successful to others.

Your Smile is One of Your Biggest Assets
Investing in a beautiful smile is not simply an indulgence of vanity. Unlike a diet or makeover that can be temporary, a smile makeover is a long lasting investment. In fact, creating a smile you feel confident about can benefit almost every aspect of your life. Your smile is one of your biggest assets when it comes to social and career opportunities because it helps you express your personality and give a good first impression.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses primarily on aesthetics, yet there are different techniques in restoring the look, shape, color, and function to broken, decayed, or damaged teeth with beautiful results. When you think of cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers may come to mind, although there are many ways we can enhance your teeth….

Teeth whitening – If the shade of your teeth is not as bright as you want it to be, we can suggest products and techniques that might improve the color of your enamel. Teeth whitening is perhaps the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure.

Composite Bonding – While in comparison to porcelain, composite bonding can present some drawbacks in terms of longevity, staining, and durability, it can produce a very conservative way to enhance the smile. Acrylic-like materials are layered onto the teeth and fused onto the enamel.

Dental Crowns & Onlays – If a tooth is worn, broken, or has a cavity we can restore the natural appearance and beauty of the tooth. Custom-made porcelain can rebuild a damaged tooth in a way that looks real.

Dental Implants – When a tooth is missing, a dental implant is a great way to replace the root so we can restore the function and beauty of your smile. After a surgeon places the implant and it heals, we will design a dental crown that attaches to it. Dental implants are a cosmetic dental procedure with a very high success rate and are a great option for many patients.

Porcelain veneers – Covering the teeth with custom-made porcelain veneers allows us to design shapes, colors, alignment, and contours of your teeth. Porcelain veneers can cover most cosmetic dental issues.
