Cosmetic Dentistry Trends

On the cutting edge of dental advancements, cosmetic dentistry continues to expand upon its ability to change lives by restoring smiles. This specialized branch of oral healthcare offers a variety of treatments to give you the look you’ve always hoped would be yours.

Dental veneers
Thin shells that adhere to the fronts of your teeth, veneers can hide all sorts of flaws. Chips, stains, gaps, and misshapen teeth can be covered with veneers to provide a long-lasting improvement in your smile.

Bonding
Patients who would like to alter the color of their teeth or correct minor imperfections, bonding is an inexpensive solution. Your dentist paints a resin material onto the teeth and then cures it with a laser light. It hardens to create an improved appearance, although bonding may need to be redone after several years.

Teeth whitening
One of the easiest and most effective cosmetic treatments is whitening or bleaching your teeth. It removes stains and brings your teeth back to the more desirable color that you likely had before foods, age, and personal habits took their toll. Professional whitening methods available in your cosmetic dentist’s office produce more dramatic changes than over-the-counter options.

Dental implants
When one or multiple teeth are completely missing, dental implants are a permanent way to give you back your smile. These are titanium tooth roots that are implanted directly into your jaw and then topped with an artificial tooth or crown. Implants function and feel just like natural teeth.

Teeth jewelry and grills
More cutting edge treatments in cosmetic dentistry include jewelry and grills for your teeth. Tiny glass crystals can be bonded onto the tooth enamel that give the look of diamonds, are harmless to the tooth, and are usually in place for several months. Another trend is grills, a form of teeth jewelry that may be made from platinum, silver, or gold. Some are even decorated with diamonds or other stones. Grills are taken in and out, and should not damage the teeth underneath if cared for properly.
