Cosmetic Dentistry in Lawrenceville, GA
Cosmetic dentistry is used to improve the aesthetics of your smile, such as by whitening or straightening your teeth. At Dental Images of Gwinnett, various cosmetic dental procedures are available that can improve your smile's appearance. These procedures include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and orthodontics. These treatments are simple and quick, and they can help you correct minor imperfections in your smile.
The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
The benefits of cosmetic dentistry include a smile you would be proud to show off, coupled with improvements in self-image and confidence. Cosmetic dentistry can also fix and prevent many common oral health problems from affecting your smile. For example, repairing chipped teeth with cosmetic bonding prevents them from worsening or becoming infected over time.
Cosmetic treatments can benefit those suffering from years of embarrassment due to damaged or malformed teeth. By correcting these problems, patients can smile more confidently and improve their quality of life. Procedures like teeth whitening can make a drastic difference in the appearance of your smile and how you feel about yourself. With whiter teeth and a brighter smile, you are more likely to want to show it off by smiling more often. This leads to a boost in self-esteem and can dramatically improve your outlook.
Finally, cosmetic procedures often come with the ability to make the smile more robust and healthier. For instance, porcelain veneers are bonded to the tooth's front surface to correct several issues, including discoloration, crowding, misalignment, and chipping.
Types of Treatments Used in Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth Whitening
We can whiten our patients’ teeth through several methods, including professional teeth whitening in the office and take-home teeth bleaching trays. Professional teeth whitening uses a more robust solution than commercial trays, allowing patients to whiten their teeth in only one visit.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin shells of porcelain are bonded to the fronts of teeth to enhance their appearance. Veneers can cover stains, correct minor misalignment, close gaps between teeth, and protect the enamel from further erosion. It’s a popular treatment because it offers several benefits at once but requires only a small amount of tooth structure to be removed before the placement of the veneer.
Tooth Bonding
This procedure can address many of the same issues as veneers but is less durable. It’s also less expensive than the other cosmetic treatments listed here. The dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth to correct their shape and improve the appearance of other imperfections. Once the material is hardened into place by a special light, the dentist will adjust the bonding as needed so that the patient has a beautiful smile!
