Do you wish your smile could be more attractive? If you have issues with the shape, color, and position of your teeth, then you may benefit from cosmetic treatment. In today’s blog, your Astoria, NY, dentist discusses how we use cosmetic dental treatments to improve the beauty of the smile, often in as little as one visit!
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening could brighten teeth by several shades, offering more dramatic results than store bought strips or whitening toothpastes. In our office, we create a custom set of plastic trays and send them home with you, along with a bleaching gel. The trays will be filled with gel and worn for about 30 to 45 minutes a day. After one to two weeks, you will see optimal results! The trays and leftover gel could be used down the road for touch ups as needed.
Bonding and Contouring
Dental bonding involves applying a metal-free composite resin to the teeth, the same used in our tooth-colored fillings. In one visit, this allows us to fill spaces between the teeth, reshape malformed or damaged teeth, and lengthen worn down teeth. We also mask discoloration too! With contouring, we sand and buff the teeth in a single visit to repair minor chips, remove rough patches, pits, and grooves in the teeth, and to dull sharp or pointed teeth too. In fact, both bonding and contouring can be provided in the same sitting to transform your smile.
Gummy Smile Solutions
If your smile displays too much gum, or you have an uneven gum line that makes teeth appear misshapen, we could help with gum contouring. The procedure involves using a special radiosurgery unit to trim away excess tissue and reshape the gum line. The procedure is comfortable and takes only one visit to complete. Most patients return to normal activities after a day of rest, with a more attractive smile!
Porcelain Veneers
These are very thin shells of porcelain we place onto the front of the teeth. They instantly mask stains, reshape malformed or damaged teeth, and even close gaps between teeth too. We could use them to correct the appearance of minor misalignment too. With porcelain veneers, in as little as two visits we can completely transform the appearance of your smile, and we color match them to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
ClearCorrect Braces
If you have misalignment, we could correct the position of your teeth without braces, instead using a series of clear aligners! They fit comfortably, and offer a straighter smile in as little as one year.
