How 5 Cosmetic Treatments can Impact Smiles

If you have stained teeth, misalignment, or other esthetic imperfections, you may benefit from a visit to the dentist. Cosmetic treatments can impact your smile, addressing imperfections and improving the beauty of your teeth and gums. There are a number of cosmetic dentistry options for achieving a more attractive and even healthy smile.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry in Astoria, NY

  1. Teeth Whitening: You can actually obtain professional level results from home. The Ultradent system involves wearing a set of whitening trays filled with a special bleaching gel. These may be worn overnight or for a certain amount of time each day, depending on the cause and severity of your discoloration. After a week to ten days, the peroxide gel will help remove the discoloration and brighten your smile.
  2. Bonding and Contouring: Both bonding and contouring can be completed in a single visit. Bonding uses a composite material to build up lost tissue and repair a damaged tooth. Contouring involves shaving away a miniscule layer of surface to remove pits and grooves on the tooth.
  3. Veneers: With veneers, the doctor removes a thin layer of your enamel and takes impressions of your teeth. A thin shell of porcelain will be created that is placed on the front of your teeth. Made from a natural looking material that is also stain-resistant, you can enjoy a more esthetically pleasing smile.
  4. ClearCorrect: Instead of metal braces, this orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear plastic aligners to reposition the teeth in about a year. You can remove the aligners before meals and when worn, they are practically invisible.
  5. Gum Contouring: If you have excessive gum tissue, then your teeth may look small or uneven. Using laser dentistry, we can reshape your gum line and remove the excess gum tissue for a more attractive smile.
