Unlike most beauty needs most people have, fixing your smile can be extremely easy and painless. Compared to most cosmetic surgeries, cosmetic dentistry is quick and less expensive. Through cosmetic dentistry nobody will ever have to hide their smile again.

Cosmetic dentistry is the science of improving your smile with the added dimension of art. Having a nice smile can be a one of your most powerful assets and possibly change your life. There has been a large amount of advancement in cosmetic dentistry technology and this can be used confidently in every cosmetic situation. Because of these advances, cosmetic dentists can provide durable and stunning dental improvements to anybody who wants them. There are many different ways cosmetic dentists can improve your smile.

Whitening, or tooth bleaching, is the most common cosmetic dental procedure and although there are many bleaching options available at your local pharmacy, dentist-supervised whitening treatments are the most successful. Laser tooth whitening combines a light with peroxide bleaching gel to maximize the speed and power of tooth whitening. 

If a tooth is badly broken down and a simple filling is not strong enough, a porcelain crown will be implanted. Porcelain crowns look exactly like natural teeth and can completely improve your smile, especially in the front of your mouth where it is essential.  Dental bridges are false teeth that are bonded between two porcelain crowns to fill the space left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding the bridge in place are attached into your teeth on each side of the replica tooth. These dental bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth like dentures.

Bonding is a procedure that enamel-like dental adhesive is applied to a tooth’s surface, sculpted into the correct shape, hardened and then polished.  Porcelain veneers are super thin, customized laminates that are bonded to teeth. Veneers are used to disguise colored teeth that do not respond to whitening.  Veneers are also used to fill in gaps between teeth. Porcelain mimics tooth structure perfectly and is harder than enamel so it can hold up better than any other material.

With today’s enhanced bonding agents and cements, porcelain veneers can typically last from 10 to 30 years. They may need replacing in this time, which can be expensive since each porcelain veneer can cost around 1,000 dollars.

Cosmetic dentists can immensely improve the way you look. This improvement will give you the confidence you have been missing and finally give you what every person deserves, a smile they are proud to show.
