Cosmetic dentistry has the capability of permanently changing the color of your teeth; it can improve and change the shape of your teeth; and, it can change the position of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can change the spaces between your teeth, lengthen or shorten your teeth, replace missing teeth, replace metal fillings, and restore broken, worn, or fractured teeth.
Basically, you can improve the look of almost any undesirable attributes of your teeth with cosmetic dentistry. If you are unhappy or self-conscious with the appearance of your smile, you are a potential candidate for cosmetic dentistry.
Statistics show that approximately 75 percent of all Americans believe their smile is unattractive and believe that insecurity about their smile contributes to their career success and self esteem.
Consider cosmetic dentistry solutions for your smile if you:
• Purposely smile with your mouth closed or cover your smile with your hand to hide your teeth
• Avoid smiling to hide your teeth
• Are overly concerned about the appearance, color or alignment of your teeth
• Have old silver fillings
• Have noticeably misshapen, chipped, overcrowded, or crooked teeth
Advances in cosmetic dentistry have resulted in a variety of procedures that can be performed to achieve the beautiful, healthy, straight, white smile you crave. A talented cosmetic dentist can assist you in creating the perfect smile. They have the capability to design a smile that will make you appear more attractive, healthy, and youthful.
Smile makeover options you may want to consider include tooth whitening (office or take-home bleaching and one-hour bleaching), bonding (metal-free dentistry and tooth-colored filings), lumineers (thin porcelain or shells placed over existing teeth), bridges and crowns, dental implants (root implants and dental prosthesis), or Invisalign® (strong plastic aligners that guide teeth into position without braces).
With all these options, just about anyone who wants a new or improved smile is a candidate for cosmetic dentistry.
