A skilled cosmetic dentist can take a smile that you are not confident in and transform it into something radiant. Whether you are self-conscious about the shade of your teeth or how they sit in your mouth, know that you do not have to live with blemishes and imperfections forever. A cosmetic dentist can help you achieve your dream smile through numerous treatments, all customized to address the specific goals and desires of individual patients.
Every cosmetic treatment is different because it is meticulously crafted to help the patient amend their smile in a way that is pleasing to them and in alignment with their vision. The most common ways that a cosmetic dentist can help patients achieve their ideal smiles are as follows.
The color of the teeth is the most common complaint that people tend to have about their smiles. Yellowing can occur for many reasons, from thinning enamel that exposes the yellowish dentin underneath to stains from foods and drinks.
A teeth whitening treatment is the service that a cosmetic dentist tends to provide the most often. Whether through in-office technology that can lighten teeth by several shades in about an hour or at-home kits custom-shaped to the patient’s teeth, these dentists have solutions for brightening the smile.
Another standard procedure that skilled cosmetic dentists perform is changing a tooth's visible surface. This may occur through a crown that covers the top, biting portion of the tooth, or it can be done through a veneer, which serves as a cap or shield that is visible on the front surface of a tooth. These options hide imperfections, enabling the smile to appear aesthetically pleasing without the need to dramatically change or replace any of the teeth.
Many people feel that their teeth are either too long or too small, and both issues stem from the shape of the gums. A cosmetic dentist can graft gum tissue onto long teeth to protect the roots and create a more aesthetic smile, or they can use gum contouring to shave away excess gum tissue so the teeth are no longer disproportionately covered. When the gums are functioning appropriately, patients can also enjoy better support for their teeth and improved oral health.
Sometimes, teeth simply need a bit of shaping to go from basic to outstanding. A cosmetic dentist can use a grinder to lightly remove a small amount of enamel to create even surfaces on the tooth. Most often, they grind the extreme edge of the tooth to eliminate uneven wear on the biting surfaces.
