Do you cover your smile with your hand? Avoid smiling in front of people or in photographs? Wish your teeth were whiter or that you had a more attractive smile?
If you have teeth that are discolored, worn, misshapen, misaligned or missing, you may be interested in cosmetic dentistry. The term ‘cosmetic’ implies we are changing something to simply make it more attractive. While some procedures are done simply for the sake of appearance, other procedures are done to correct problems with the health and function of our teeth and gums. All of these procedures should be ‘esthetic,’ meaning naturally beautiful and in good taste.
If changing the appearance of your smile is something you’re interested in, we’ll discuss the changes you would like to see and evaluate your smile. We can then recommend what will help you achieve your vision. There are many procedures including whitening, ceramic and bonded fillings, orthodontics (straightening teeth) and porcelain veneers that can improve your smile’s appearance. Often times, procedures can be conservative and preserve much natural, healthy tooth structure. Beauty and function typically go hand-in-hand and when teeth are healthy and aligned well, our smile can look radiant!
