Do you want to boost the appearance of your smile? If so, you may want to see us about cosmetic dentistry! In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about helping smiles shine and look amazing with cosmetic dentistry. We can transform the appearance of your smile using holistic approaches that employ meta-free and natural-looking materials!
Starting Treatment with Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry offers a way to boost your smile’s appearance, sometimes in as little as one visit. To begin, we want to talk to you about your hopes and goals for your smile, and also conduct an exam to assess the cause and severity of your esthetic imperfections. We then create a personalized treatment plan using one or more of our cosmetic treatments to boost the appearance of your smile. In the process, this can often offer improvement for bite function and oral health too. To boost your smile, talk to our team about cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth Whitening
To boost your smile with cosmetic dentistry, our team can brighten teeth with professional whitening procedures. We offer two different options. For fast results, we could discuss our in-office procedure, which uses a combination of a special bleaching gel and a light to lift stains in as little as one to two hours. If you have more severe discoloration, we could discuss our take-home trays and bleaching gel, which can brighten teeth by as many as eight shades in about a week to ten days. The procedure involves adding gel to the trays and wearing them for about an hour a day. Your smile could really shine afterward!
Bonding and Contouring
We can use cosmetic dentistry to help boost smiles in only one sitting! With dental bonding, our team can apply a composite resin to the surfaces of the teeth to mask cosmetic imperfections. This is the same material we use in our lifelike tooth fillings. With bonding, we can repair minor chips and cracks, reshape malformed teeth, add length to worn down teeth, and even cover up severe teeth stains, all in one sitting. We also fill gaps between them too!
With contouring, we also offer cosmetic transformation one visit. However, with this option we gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct common cosmetic imperfections. For example, we can smooth out any rough patches, pits, or grooves. The process can also correct misshapen teeth and the appearance of minor cracks. We can also dull parts that are sharp, jagged, or pointed, all in one sitting.
Porcelain Veneers
Cosmetic dentistry not only boosts your smile’s appearance, but could offer a potential smile makeover in just two visits. With porcelain veneers, we have thin and lifelike restorations that we attach to the front of your teeth. Once in place, this instantly changes the shape and color of your teeth. With veneers, we can cover up stains, fill open gaps between teeth, and add length to worn down structures. Placement could help repair minor injuries too, and even address misshapen teeth. For some, this could correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for orthodontics!
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? If you have a smile that shows off too much gum, this could make teeth appear short or uneven. We can help by removing excess tissues in one sitting with a gum contouring procedure. The process employs advanced laser dentistry, so we can offer results quickly and comfortably, with little need for anesthesia. The results are immediate and the area heals quickly, since no scalpels or sutures are needed. This can allow us to ensure proper symmetry and beauty too. The same laser system could also help manage periodontal disease, and lowers the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling.
