These 4 Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Can Make a Huge Difference
The average person has no idea how far cosmetic dentistry options have come in just ten years. Today there are new procedures and methods, but even the procedures that have been around for many years are now easier, faster, less painful, and more affordable. This is great news because more people can choose to perfect their teeth and have a smile they are proud of.
Read on to learn about four cosmetic procedures that have the potential to make a huge difference in your life. Then contact California Dental Group at (800) 407-0161 if you would like to make an appointment.
- Have your teeth whitened
- Straighten your teeth with orthodontic aligners
- Perfect your teeth with veneers
- Have a specific tooth or teeth reshaped
The most common cosmetic dentistry procedure is teeth whitening. It is noninvasive, affordable, and can have an immediate impact. It is a good option if you like the shape and spacing of your teeth but find that they are looking yellow, stained, or gray. Of course, we will first give you a thorough exam to ensure that there is no medical reason for the change in the color of your teeth. Once we have determined that you are in good shape, then whitening can be done in our offices.
It wasn’t long ago that if your teeth weren’t straight, you only had an option of getting braces. They were bulky, metal, painful, and many found them to be embarrassing to have. Today, there are clean aligners that can straighten your teeth without anyone ever knowing. They are also easily removable so they can be taken out when you eat. There are many other advantages to them compared to older braces and we look forward to telling you about them.
Many people have never heard of veneers but they may be the best option to totally transform your smile. They are shells that are attached to the outside of your teeth. The result is teeth that appear to be perfectly white and straight. In most cases they are made from porcelain, but they could also be made out of plastic. We cement them to your teeth but they can be removed if you need them to be for any reason. If you do not want to deal with long-term treatments then this is the best choice for you.
If you are dealing with a spacing issue here and there, or if you have a flaw on just a couple of your teeth, then countering or reshaping may be the option. Essentially, we use a special tool that files away the imperfections. If you have a smile that you are generally happy with but there is one tooth that’s just too sharp or overlaps another tooth, then this could be a simple solution.
These are just four of the cosmetic procedures offered at California Dental Group. If you are unhappy with your smile then we highly recommend you reach out to us at (800) 407-0161 to find out how we can help.
