Do you wish your smile was more attractive? We understand, and that is why we offer an array of cosmetic treatment options. With cosmetic dentistry, we can offer a personalized approach to improving the shape and color of your teeth, and even correct issues with your gums! In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about cosmetic dentistry.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
When you have concerns regarding the appearance of your smile, you should schedule a consultation with our team. During this visit, we will talk to you about your hopes for your smile. We then examine your smile thoroughly with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, so we can assess the cause and severity of your cosmetic cones and then choose the most appropriate treatment options. Every smile is unique, and we take a personalized approach to your treatment. Our goal is to help you smile with confidence again!
Two Teeth Whitening Options
One major complaint people see us about is discoloration. Teeth stains can be embarrassing and store-bought options offer less-than-stellar results that are short-lived. But we can offer brighter smiles, often by several shades! We have an in-office option that can remove stains in as little as one to two hours, perfect if you need fast results before a first date, job interviews, meeting, or special events. We also have an at-home teeth whitening option, one that involves a set of custom trays and a powerful bleaching gel. You wear the gel-filled trays daily for a set amount of time, and this can brighten smiles by multiple shades in about one week to ten days.
Gum Contouring
What if you don’t have an issue with your teeth, but with a smile that shows off too much gum tissue? With laser gum contouring, we can gently trim away excess tissues and reshape the gum line in only one visit. You then leave with a transformed smile, and can return to your normal routine after only 24 to 48 hours. The lasers offer care with precision and accuracy, and can also be used to aid in managing gum disease!
Metal-Free Restorations
Our team offers a holistic approach to dental care, which is why we offer metal-free restorations. Meaning when you have a cavity or a damaged tooth, we can offer care with a cosmetic approach. For example, our fillings are made from a composite resin that we can shade to blend with your smile, and that is safe for all ages. If you need a crown, we can create one from metal-free materials like ceramic or zirconia, so they match the smile and offer a more natural appearance.
Dental Bonding
As we mentioned above, we don’t offer metal fillings, instead opting for a metal-free and safe material known as composite resin. In addition to treating tooth decay, the same material can be used to mask common cosmetic imperfections in only one visit. With dental bonding, we apply the material in several layers to your teeth to mask permanent teeth stains, close gaps and black triangle spaces between teeth, and repair minor chips and cracks. We can also reshape malformed teeth too and lengthen structures worn down by teeth grinding. Again, this is possible in only one visit!
Custom Porcelain Veneers
For a smile makeover, our team could offer treatment with porcelain veneers. These are very thin shells of porcelain that we attach to the front of the teeth. Each one is custom-made for your smile and instantly changes the shape and color of the teeth. We can apply one or several, transforming your smile in as little as two visits. With veneers, we can mask teeth stains, reshape malformed or damaged teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and close embarrassing gaps between the teeth. Our team can also correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile!
