What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on fixing one of the most important features on your face - your mouth. When you smile at someone, your face transforms, and that's what makes you more approachable. Now imagine having crooked or stained teeth that hide behind your lips. When you open your mouth, people stare at you uneasily because they can't take their eyes off the unseemly sight.

At Select Care Dental, Jared Anderson, DDS and Mark Nuttall, DMD understand all too well how something like this can make you anti-social. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes on. It simply makes your smile pretty by aligning your teeth, repairing chips, and hiding flaws.

How Cosmetic Dentistry Beautifies Your Smile

Cosmetic dentistry includes plenty of treatments, which are as follows:

• Teeth Whitening: A whitening gel is applied to your teeth, which can make them shine in just half an hour. Depending on how stained your teeth are, you can get a smile up to eight shades whiter.

• Tooth-Colored Fillings: Made of resin, these fillings can be shaded to match the colors of your teeth so that your smile looks natural.

• Ceramic Restoration: If you are looking for crown replacements, ceramic is the best choice. It mimics the quality and feel of a natural tooth and can be easily colored.

•Porcelain Veneers: If teeth-whitening is not working for you, getting a porcelain veneer is the next step. This thin ceramic layer covers flaws, such as gaps, chips, and cracks.

• Invisalign: Metal braces are a thing of the best. Nowadays, most people opt for Invisalign. This treatment uses a clear plastic aligner that straightens your smile minus the hassle of wire and brackets.

Cosmetic dentistry is a sophisticated and simple way to restore your teeth's natural beauty. If you are looking for someone professional who has done plenty of treatments, visit Select Care Dental. To schedule an appointment, call at (541) 316-5499.
