Cosmetic Dentistry A smile
can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With
dentistry's many advances, you no longer have to
settle for stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth. You
now have choices that can help you smile with
confidence.
Even the most subtle change in
your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way
you look and feel about yourself. Talk to your dentist
about the options most suitable for you, what your
expectations are and the dental fees involved. Some
options are:
Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that
are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces
between them. With bonding, tooth-colored materials
are applied, or bonded, to the tooth surface.
Enamel shaping involves modifying teeth to improve
their appearance by removing or contouring enamel. The
process, which often is combined with bonding, usually
is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen
immediately.
Veneers are thin custom-made shells designed to
cover the front side of teeth. Made of tooth-colored
materials, veneers are used to treat spaces between
teeth and teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently
stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
Tooth whitening (bleaching) brightens teeth that
are discolored or stained. Bleaching may be done
completely in the dental office or the dentist may
dispense a system for you to use at home.
