Cosmetic dentistry allows our team to provide treatments to improve the overall beauty of your smile, sometimes tackling multiple esthetic issues at once. From teeth whitening to porcelain veneers, we can help your smile shine! In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about helping smiles with cosmetic dentistry.
Our Teeth Whitening Treatments
Teeth whitening is the most common reason people see our team for cosmetic dentistry. We understand, no one wants unsightly stains on their smile. We have two different options to help brighten your smile, often by multiple shades! With our in-office treatment, we combine a bleaching gel with a special light to brighten smiles in as little as one to two hours. For more severe staining, we have a take-home option that can offer significantly brighter smiles in as little as a week to ten days.
Bonding and Contouring
What if you have more than just stained teeth? With bonding and contouring, we have two different cosmetic dentistry treatments that can be completed in only one sitting. With bonding, we use the same metal-free composite resin as our fillings to mask stains, reshape teeth, and even close gaps between the teeth in one sitting. With contouring, we reshape teeth to address sharp or pointed teeth, correct chipped teeth, and address overly large or misshapen structures in only one visit. With this option, we don’t add to the tooth, instead our team will contour them to address common issues with the shape of the tooth.
Porcelain Veneers
For many, this is known as a smile makeover. Cosmetic dentistry includes porcelain veneers, thin shells that can be attached to the front of the teeth and used to correct multiple cosmetic issues. Each one is custom-made to ensure a beautiful and lifelike appearance, and they can handle daily bite forces and pressures too. Placement takes two visits, one to prep the tooth and create the restoration, and the second to attach it with a powerful bonding agent. Our team can mask stains, fill gaps between teeth, reshape teeth, and length worn down structure or repair minor damage. They can even help straighten the appearance of uneven teeth!
ClearCorrect Aligners
Cosmetic dentistry also includes orthodontics. Instead of correcting crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth with metal braces, our team can use ClearCorrect aligners. These are a series of plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth, each set in the series gently shifting your teeth so you can enjoy an even smile in as little as a year. Since these are removable, you don’t have to change your diet or avoid certain foods, and brushing and flossing is much easier too. The aligners are easy to use and clean, and can travel with you too.
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? We can also correct cosmetic issues with the appearance of your gums in only one visit. If you have a gummy smile that displays too much tissue when you smile, we can use dental lasers to gently trim away the excess portions and reshape the gum line in the process, offering a more attractive smile in only one visit. You can return to your normal routine after about 24 hours, and the lasts help prevent swelling, bleeding, and infection, and allow the area to heal quickly. We also use this technology to help treat periodontal disease and protect your smile from tooth loss!
Icon® White Spot Removal
Do you have unsightly white spots on your teeth? These could be caused by the early stages of demineralization, and without treatment could lead to tooth decay. To fill the areas and prevent cavities, while also improving the appearance of your tooth, we could use the Icon® White Spot Removal system. Using a special infiltrant this will add material to the weakened portions. Once we cure it and remove the excess materials, your teeth will be more attractive and your risk of cavities will be lower too, all in only one visit.
