If you have concerns with the shape and color of your teeth, or if they ache or have gone missing, then you need help. Fortunately, with cosmetic dentistry we have a way to improve the appearance of your teeth, all with holistic and metal-free materials. In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about cosmetic dentistry in Lake Orion, MI. We want you to feel confident in your smile, and we can help start that process today!
Starting with Your Cosmetic Consultation
To begin, you should make for a cosmetic consultation. Our team will talk to you about your goals for your smile, and then conduct a detailed examination that employs advanced digital imaging, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. We want to know the causes and severity of your esthetic concerns, and also to identify any other concerns that could impact your oral health. With this information, we can create a treatment plan to bring relief and offer a more attractive smile. At the same time, we could also offer improvement for your oral health and bite function, all with metal-free and holistic dental materials.
Teeth Whitening
Cosmetic dentistry can help your smile shine! If you have teeth stains, we can choose from two different teeth whitening treatments. Our in-office procedure can brighten teeth significantly in only one visit. With our at-home solution, we can create custom trays and provide a powerful bleaching gel to brighten your smile by several shades in as little as a week. No need for store-bought strips and toothpastes, we can help your smile truly shine!
Bonding and Contouring
With bonding and contouring, we offer a conservative way to transform the appearance of your teeth. With bonding, we apply the same composite resin we use in our fillings, which bonds with the teeth and can be shaded to blend with the smile. With bonding, we have a way to cover up teeth stains, repair minor injuries, close gaps between teeth, and more. Contouring takes a different approach. With this option, we will gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct minor imperfections, such as pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer structures. We can dull sharp, jagged, or pointed teeth, and correct overly large or misshapen structures too.
Metal-Free Fillings, Crowns, and Bridges
If we find you have a cavity, then we could place a holistic filing that is biocompatible and metal-free, and also color-matched to blend with your tooth. If you have an injury or cavity too severe for filling or bonding, we could create a crown in only one visit and attach it. The ceramic restoration will look natural and last for years to come! For minor tooth loss, we could use the same tools to create and place a bridge in one visit, again with lifelike results!
Gum Contouring
What if you have a gummy smile? If your smile shows off too much gum tissue, this could impact the way the teeth look, creating the appearance of misalignment or short teeth. With gum contouring, we use advanced laser systems to gently remove the excess tissues and reshape the gum line for better symmetry and beauty. The process takes one visit, rarely requires anesthesia, and heals quickly, so you can return to your normal routine in as little as a day or two. The same tools can also be used to help manage gum disease as well.
Porcelain Veneers
What if we have a single cosmetic procedure that could offer a smile makeover? With porcelain veneers, we have very thin dental restorations that we attach to the front of your teeth. These are custom-made to ensure they look natural and blind with your smile. Our team can address stained teeth, open gaps, and misshapen portions of your smile all at once. We can also repair minor injuries and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment!
