Spring time is all about renewal, and getting out of the house to spend time with friends and family! To make the most of the improving weather and feel confident, we can correct the esthetic issues with your smile. In today’s blog, Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about helping smiles in Lake Orion, MI, with cosmetic dentistry. We can help ensure you feel confident when you smile, and enjoy a boost for your overall oral health and bite function too.
Starting with Your Cosmetic Consultation
Do you want to improve the appearance of your smile? If so, then contact our team for cosmetic dentistry. We will take a close look at your smile with digital imaging to assess the cause and severity of your esthetic concerns. We then create a treatment plan to address them, one that employs holistic and metal-free treatments to improve the shape and color of your teeth, often talking on multiple concerns at once. Every smile is unique, so our treatment plan will be personalized for you!
Professional Teeth Whitening
Do you have unsightly stains on your teeth? Then with cosmetic dentistry, we can brighten your smile! For results in as little as one to two hours, we have an in-office procedure that combines a powerful whitening gel with a special light to break up and remove stains. If you have more severe discoloration, we could still brighten your smile by up to eight shades with our take-home teeth whitening kit. With this option, we will create a set of custom plastic trays and then send them home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. You just add the gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time each day, and optimal results are possible in a week to ten days!
Dental Bonding
What if we could mask permanent stains and address other concerns at once? With dental bonding, we will coat the teeth in a thin layer of composite resin, the same material we use in our metal-free dental fillings. We can apply this in one visit and it is shaded to blend with the rest of your smile seamlessly. We can cover up stains, fill gaps between the teeth, reshape malformed teeth, and repair minor damage, all in only one sitting.
Cosmetic Contouring
Another same-day cosmetic treatment is dental contouring, in which we actually gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct imperfections in one sitting. For example, we can help smooth away the pits, grooves, and rough patches in the surfaces, and can dull sharp, pointed, or jagged portions of a tooth. The contouring procedure can also address misshapen teeth, the appearance of chipped teeth, and more.
Our Porcelain Veneers
For a true smile makeover, we could apply porcelain veneers to the front of your teeth. These thin restorations look natural and completely reshape the teeth, so we can repair minor damage, mask stains, fill gaps, and reshape teeth. We can even correct the appearance of minor misalignment! The process involves numbing the teeth, removing a thin layer of outer enamel, and taking impressions of the tooth, which we then use to design and craft your new veneers. When completed, we attach these to the front of your teeth with a powerful bonding agent. We may even whiten your teeth beforehand to ensure they match their brightest possible smile.
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? If you have issues with the shape of your gums, such as a smile that displays too much, making teeth appear short or uneven, we can help. With gum contouring, we can gently reshape the gum line and remove excess tissues with precise and comfortable laser treatment. We then ensure proper symmetry in your smile, and a more attractive smile, all in one visit. The area will heal quickly too, so you can return to your normal routine in as little as one to two days. The technology also destroys harmful bacteria, and could be used to help manage periodontal issues too.
If you have any questions about how we transform your smile with one or more of our cosmetic treatment options, then contact our team today. We look forward to seeing you and helping you on your journey to a more attractive smile, and better oral health and bite function too.
