Cosmetic Procedures that Work Wonders on Your Smile
Today, cosmetic dentistry makes it easier than ever for everyone to have a winning smile. If there are aspects of your smile you’re not happy with, our doctors at Pearl Dental Care can help you change them with cosmetic dentistry. Your Hamden, Connecticut dentists offer a number of cosmetic teeth procedures that can work wonders in improving your smile’s appearance. The answers to these questions give you greater insight into what to expect from cosmetic dentistry.
What is cosmetic dentistry? How does it differ from general dentistry?
General dentistry focuses on keeping your smile strong and healthy. In contrast, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving your smile’s appearance. Through cosmetic dentistry, your dentist can make your smile look and feel its best for years to come.Â
What cosmetic teeth procedures are used for cosmetic dentistry?
At our office, we offer multiple cosmetic teeth procedures to improve the beauty of your smile. These include – teeth whitening, dental bonding, gum contouring, tooth reshaping, porcelain veneers, dental bridges, composite fillings, and dental crowns.
What kind of cosmetic issues can cosmetic dentistry correct?
Cosmetic dentistry can correct such imperfections as:
- Stains and discolorations.
- Chips and cracks on your teeth.
- Broken teeth.
- Malformed or odd-sized teeth.
- Protruding or overlapping teeth.
- Crooked teeth.
- Receding gums.
- Missing teeth.
Are cosmetic treatments painful?
It’s a misconception that cosmetic dentistry causes pain. Many procedures are noninvasive and can be completed in just one dental visit. For invasive procedures like crowns or implant-retained restorations, our dentists will numb your mouth to prevent pain. We also offer sedation options to help you relax during invasive treatments.
What is a smile makeover?
If you have multiple tooth flaws that a single cosmetic procedure cannot correct, we may recommend a smile makeover. This treatment combines several procedures to perfect your teeth and give you a smile you’ll love. Our doctors will evaluate your smile, assess the problems that need to be addressed, and recommend the procedures that will give you the best outcome in achieving your smile goals.
Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Good oral health is a must for cosmetic dentistry. If you have problems with cavities or gum disease, these issues will need to be taken care of before you proceed with your cosmetic treatment.
