Cosmetic dentistry is a range of dental services and treatments that enhance the look of your teeth and face. It is the art of crafting beautiful smiles combined with the science of dentistry. While general dentistry focuses on the health and function of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry goes a step further. It helps you achieve the dazzling smile you’ve always dreamed of.
Cosmetic dentistry acknowledges that a mouth is not only a functional aspect of our daily lives. Your smile can be a powerful social and emotional tool. Our dental professionals possess a unique set of skills and techniques to transform your teeth. They have an artist’s eye for balance, symmetry, and proportion. As a result, we understand that a perfect mouth involves much more than just straight and healthy teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are the secret behind many Hollywood smiles. These ultra-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain cover the front surfaces of your teeth. They help to provide a flawless and radiant appearance. Veneers are the solution for a wide variety of cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment.
They are made to blend with your teeth while also providing durable protection. Unlike your natural teeth, veneers are resistant to staining. They can last for many years with proper care.
Teeth Bonding
Patients who want a quick and effective cosmetic treatment can talk to Dr. Williamson about teeth bonding. This minimally invasive treatment can correct minor imperfections like small chips, gaps, or stubborn stains. Our dentist will carefully sculpt and bond the tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth.
Then, they will polish it to a natural shine. Teeth bonding is an excellent option for those seeking immediate improvements to the look of their teeth without extensive dental work.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the more popular cosmetic dental treatments for achieving brighter teeth. Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to factors like aging, consumption of staining substances (e.g., coffee, red wine, etc.), or certain medications. Professional teeth whitening uses powerful yet safe bleaching agents to break down stains and lighten your mouth. This treatment can provide striking results in a single visit.
Botox
While often associated with dermatology, Botox treatments are increasingly becoming a sought-after cosmetic dental option. Dentists with specialized training can administer Botox to help improve the look and function of your mouth. One of the common cosmetic uses of Botox is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles across your face.
With their expertise and knowledge, our dentist can achieve a harmonious balance between your dental and facial aesthetics. Additionally, Botox can address dental concerns, including pain from TMJ disorders. Our dentist can use Botox to relax tense muscles and block nerve signals from transmitting pain.
