When you look in the mirror, do you truly love your smile? There are certain features that we stare at in the mirror that we wish we could just change. The good news is that you don’t have to wish for the perfect smile any longer.
Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to help patients achieve the smile goals they have been longing for in just a few simple dental appointments. Let’s take a look at some common cosmetic procedures and treatments so that you can discover which is best for you.
Cosmetic Procedures & Treatments
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that are attached to the front surfaces of your teth to mask dental flaws. Typically, your veneers are custom made from a combination of high-quality dental materials that are created to last. After examining your teeth, your Sacramento dentist will calculate the correct size and shape of your veneers to cover the dental flaws you feel need improvement.
Metal-Free Restorations
Your dentist should always strive to provide high-quality dental work. This means that they should only use the highest quality dental materials to create and maintain beautiful smiles. Your dentist can provide a great cosmetic treatment and restorative improvement.
Direct Bonding
Cosmetic direct bonding is the application of a tooth-colored composite resin used to repair flaws in your smile. This cosmetic procedure can be used to repair teeth that are decayed, chipped, discolored, or make stubbed teeth appear longer.
Mercury-Free, Tooth-Colored Fillings
A tooth-colored filing may also be known as a white filling or a composite resin (the official name for the dental material) filling. The dental material that makes up these fillings is 100% mercury-free, making it the perfect filling option for patients with allergies to metals.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Although it’s not ideal, discolored teeth are natural especially the more wear and tear your teeth have gone through. Age, genetics, poor oral hygiene, and even the foods and drinks you enjoy can change the color of your teeth.
Despite how your teeth have become discolored, your dentist has two whitening solutions that can help you achieve your whitest smile: professional in-office Zoom! teeth whitening for patients looking for fast results and take-home kits for gradual changes in the comfort of your own home.
