While discoloration is a common complaint, this is far from the only esthetic issue that plagues our smiles. What can we do to enjoy a brighter and more beautiful smile? There are a number of advanced cosmetic treatments available to address common cosmetic problems. Find out what you can do to enjoy an attractive smile.
Common Cosmetic Issues and Possible Treatment Options:
- Teeth Stains: We offer multiple techniques for addressing discoloration. Our at-home treatment uses custom-made trays filled with a bleaching gel. Wearing them daily for a set amount of time can brighten teeth by multiple shades in a week to ten days. We can also place veneers on the surface of the teeth to mask discoloration.
- Misalignment: If you have crooked or crowded teeth then we can provide a set of clear plastic aligners. You wear the aligners for between 20 and 23 hours a day, enjoying practically invisible smile correction. For added convenience, you can remove the aligners before meals or when rushing/flossing your teeth.
- Broken Teeth: If you break a tooth you may experience an increased risk of tooth decay or infection. To protect your smile you need to repair the teeth right away. We can use dental bonding to restore the tooth in a single day. A dental crown can also be used to restore the structure of a damaged tooth, ensuring the tooth looks and functions naturally.
- Gummy Smiles: If you have excessive gingival tissue your teeth can look small or uneven. Using gum contouring, we can remove excessive tissue and reshape the gums for a more attractive smile.
- Multiple Esthetic Problems: With porcelain veneers we place a thin dental restoration onto the surface of the teeth. Veneers can reshape the teeth and mask a number of esthetic issues, completely transforming your tooth in as littler as two visits.
