Things to Know About Cosmetic Dentistry

Do you dream of having better looking teeth and a more attractive smile? Don’t just dream about it– do something about it… Cosmetic dentistry offers a wide range of options and price ranges to help you achieve the look you want.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Services

In order to improve a person’s look, cosmetic dentistry typically involves fixing teeth that are missing, misshapen, chipped or discolored. What are some cosmetic dentistry services? Well, there’s teeth whitening, as well as translucent tooth coverings which help improve the look of teeth. Materials that are used to achieve results today are more natural looking than those used in the past. They’re also more durable.

Besides whitening, other cosmetic services include bonding, where bonding tooth-colored materials are applied to the tooth surface to fix all sorts of issues, from cracked teeth to teeth that have awkward spaces in between them. Then there are veneers, which are essentially thin porcelain shells that cover the teeth to make them look “perfect.” Have you heard of teeth reshaping? Maybe you want a tooth to look more angular than rounded– that can be done. If you have a smile where your gums show more than your teeth, did you know that excess gum tissue can be removed to expose more of your teeth’s crown(s) to give the appearance of longer teeth? These are just some options available these days.

Finding the Right Dentistry to Do Cosmetic Work

When looking for a dentist who does cosmetic work, you can do some research. For instance, you can ask to see before and after photos of their patients, to see the work they’ve done. You can also ask for patient references, and talk to people who’ve had work done. And you can ask about a dentist’s schooling and find out how recently they learned to do what they’d be doing for you, as well as what kind of classes they took and whether or not they received any honors or special certifications.
