Cleanings and Whitening
To improve the way your smile looks, professional teeth whitening in the office can make your teeth many shades whiter, and much faster than over-the-counter treatments. But if you still would prefer the convenience of whitening at home, then your doctor can help with custom-made take-home trays. For those who have been away from the office for some time, a dental cleaning can provide excellent aesthetic results, not to mention how important they are for your overall dental health.
Cosmetic Bonding
For repairing teeth that have been chipped or are in some way malformed cosmetic bonding can restore the appearance of your teeth. Cosmetic bonding uses a resin compound that is applied onto your teeth in liquid form and hardened with a special light. Then your dentist polishes your tooth until it matches or improves upon how it used to look.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
The same type of resin compound is now often used as an alternative to amalgam fillings. Because it can be made to match the color of the rest of your teeth, unlike with traditional fillings and that too prominent silver color.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer a complete smile makeover with a minimal reshaping of your original teeth. They can address chipping and even discolored teeth that will not respond to teeth whitening, but are also perfect for correcting slight gaps and other types of misshaping.
Crowns and Bridges
When too much tooth structure is lost crowns are typically the best alternative. They can restore your tooth's appearance, but also their function by allowing you to retain your bite strength. Bridges use crowns in tandem to restore missing teeth. Also important beyond the aesthetic improvement, as a single missing tooth can cause the others to shift, which can alter your bite and spacing.
