Cosmetic dental treatments of all sorts are available to beautify your teeth and give you the smile you have always hoped for.  Whether you have chipped, cracked, improperly spaced or stained teeth, cosmetic dental treatments can repair these flaws surprisingly easily.  Here is a look at some of the top cosmetic dental treatments.

Dental Implants

If you are missing a tooth or have a badly damaged tooth, ask your cosmetic dentist about dental implants.  Dental implants are a surgical procedure that will place artificial teeth in your mouth. Dental implants also hold a near look-alike appearance with natural teeth.

Just as important is the fact that dental implants function like regular teeth.  The procedure requires forming a hole in the gums, inserting the dental implants in the jaw bone and positioning a titanium crown on top.

Composite Bonding

A dentist can repair a broken or chipped tooth with composite bonding.  The dentist adds a composite material to the tooth cavity prior to sculpting it to look just right.  Once composite bonding is performed, you will have a lovely bright smile with covered teeth that blend in nicely with the rest of your chompers.

Teeth Whitening

Stained and discolored teeth can be beautified with teeth whitening.  Teeth whitening can be completed in as little as a couple visits to the dentist’s office. This cosmetic dental treatment involves either laser whitening or tray bleaching.  Choose a tray and the dentist will customize it to your mouth and shield the gums from contact with the gel.

The use of a laser is a little bit less invasive.  As soon as the ultra-violet light turns on, the bleaching agent will start setting.

Teeth whitening is all the rage these days as it is non-invasive and quite effective.  Your cosmetic dentist will detail the different shades of white for your teeth to help you select the hue perfect for your mouth and face.

While you can buy at-home teeth whitening kits, they take longer than professional treatment.  Furthermore, your cosmetic dentist will be able to lighten the color of your teeth to a more visually appealing shade than possible with at-home solutions.

Invisalign®

People can straighten misaligned or broken teeth with Invisalign® as opposed to conventional metal braces.  Invisalign® requires the patient to place a translucent plastic tray in the mouth. The individual will replace this tray every couple of weeks with the next tray in the set. This treatment option empowers adults to straighten their teeth without the use of those unsightly and annoying brackets/wires.  Invisalign® straightens out teeth in as little as 12 months.

Veneers

Made of porcelain, veneers bond to teeth to conceal wear and cracks.  Such a procedure is ideal for those who have gaps between teeth or discoloration/staining.  Porcelain veneers tend to be more expensive than other cosmetic dental treatments yet they are still quite popular as they are highly effective.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

If you are looking for a full smile makeover, the dentist might advise a full mouth reconstruction.  This reconstruction will remedy your bone structure as well as your bite. Your cosmetic dentist will make use of advanced material that stands the test of time and feels completely natural.
