What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is any type of dental procedure that improves the appearance of your smile. There are certain cosmetic procedures that enhance oral health as well. From whitening procedures to veneers and tooth-colored fillings, dentists offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve the smile of your dreams! At Dawson Modern Dentistry, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services that are intended to help our patients achieve their dream smiles and best oral health.
What To Expect At Your Cosmetic Consultation
Cosmetic Dentist Consultation
Your smile makeover consultation is a great place to discuss all of your concerns with your dentist. Your dentist will get to know you and your smile, and he or she will want to know about all of your smile goals. Together, you and your dentist will come up with a treatment plan to reach your smile goals.
Cosmetic Dentist Exam
When you come in for your appointment, our dentist will understand your dental goals and perform a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to find out what is causing your smile issues. He will also analyze your past dental records. This allows him to review your current dental condition and any past dental treatments you have received.
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Plan
After our dentist has reviewed your dental evaluation and taken your cosmetic goals into consideration, they will prepare a treatment plan to outline your treatment. The treatment plan will include a breakdown of procedures, as well as a detailed timeline. Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of each treatment, the estimated cost, and how long each treatment will take to complete.
Cosmetic Dentistry Financing Options
There’s no reason to put off repairing your smile because of the cost. At your consultation, we’ll discuss payment options with you, including your dental insurance benefits.
Cosmetic Treatment Options
Teeth whitening
Cosmetic teeth whitening is a non-invasive treatment that removes stains and whitens teeth. A gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth, followed by the use of a laser. The gel penetrates the teeth, breaking down stains to reveal a whiter smile.
During in-office whitening, our team will carefully apply a specialized bleaching solution to your teeth. Then, we will use a special light to activate the whitening solution. This treatment can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in just one visit.
Composite bonding
Cosmetic bonding is used to correct minor imperfections. Unlike porcelain veneers, the composite resin used to make dental bonding is less resistant to stains and chipping. Because the process of dental bonding is so fast, it’s also great for repairing chipped or fractured teeth.
Composite bonding is a quick, cost-effective procedure. The dentist will sculpt the composite resin onto the tooth, then use a curing light to harden the resin. This quick process can repair small cosmetic flaws and restore your smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a thin shell of porcelain that is placed over the facial surface of the teeth. Porcelain is a material that can be shaped and colored to replicate your natural teeth. Veneers can be used to change the color, size, and shape of your teeth. They are used to correct the appearance of crooked or misshapen teeth, close gaps between teeth, and correct the alignment and color of teeth. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, and they can make your smile look bright and white.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are natural-looking replacements for missing teeth. They are composed of small titanium posts that are embedded into the jawbone and capped with natural-looking dental crowns. Because dental implants are permanently embedded in the jaw, they offer the most stable, durable, and comfortable solution for missing teeth.
Orthodontics
Many patients benefit from orthodontic treatment. Braces not only improve the appearance of the smile but also provide long-term health benefits. Teeth that are crowded together are often more difficult to keep clean. When they are not properly brushed and flossed, patients increase their risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Crooked teeth are also prone to chipping and breaking.
When teeth are properly aligned, patients enjoy a more beautiful smile. Braces correct the position of teeth, resulting in a straighter, more attractive smile. Braces also help patients improve their bites.
Have Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry? Explore Our Answers
Your dentist will talk to you about your cosmetic goals and concerns, answer any questions you may have, and discuss your treatment options. Your dentist will likely also perform a thorough dental exam and health history review. If your dentist notices any issues that you do not mention, they will be sure to talk to you about those as well.
Cosmetic dentistry can correct a wide range of problems, including chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth, gaps or spaces between teeth, misshapen or misaligned teeth, yellow or discolored teeth, teeth that are too small or large, overlapping or crooked teeth, etc. It also treats excessively worn teeth and those with abnormal alignment.
Although cosmetic dentistry can enhance a smile, it might not be right for everyone. If you have severe tooth damage or decay, a dental implant may be a better option. However, if you have a small chip or crack, a dental veneer might be a good option.
To find out if cosmetic dentistry is the right choice for you, schedule a consultation with our cosmetic dentist, who will evaluate your smile and help you decide if cosmetic dentistry is right for you.
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies widely. Factors that impact the price include the dentist’s pricing, the location of the practice, the types of procedures performed, and the extent of care needed.
