Your smile is often one of the first things people notice about you. While we believe there’s nothing more beautiful than a healthy natural smile, many of us notice things about our smile that we wish were different. A less than desirable smile can impact your health and confidence. If you are someone who would like to enhance your smile, our team is ready to help you achieve the smile of your dreams through a range of cosmetic options.
About Your Smile
Your smile can be affected by a wide range of factors: your genetics, how your teeth formed during development, thumb sucking at an early age, chewing on objects, the things you eat and drink and your oral hygiene. Dental trauma, for instance, can lead to fractures and cracks in your teeth. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of the cause, such as with unconscious teeth grinding during sleep or periods of stress. This can weaken the teeth’s structure, making them prone to stress fractures.
While gaps between teeth typically do not impact the health of your teeth, they can be a cosmetic concern. The good news is that you do not have to live with them! While orthodontics is often recommended, procedures such as dental bonding, crowns, and veneers are available to help close unflattering spaces between the teeth, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are expertly designed to correct imperfections and enhance the appearance of your teeth by changing the tooth’s size, shape and color. By using porcelain, which is regarded for its ability to mimic the color and translucence of natural teeth, veneers provide patients with a significantly improved and beautiful smile.
Dental Bonding
For patients seeking a a more conservative improvement in their smiles, dental bonding can be a beneficial option. This cosmetic procedure involves applying tooth-colored composite resin onto the teeth to enhance their aesthetic appeal. Dental bonding is particularly useful for addressing small chips and closing minor gaps between the teeth, but it can also result in a whiter smile. Often times dental bonding can be completed in one visit!
While patients contemplating dental bonding may be exploring veneers, it is important to understand the distinction between the two treatments. Although both aim to enhance your smile, bonding preserves more natural tooth structure and can also be removed or replaced more easily.
Crowns
Crowns can improve the strength and appearance of fractured, chipped, or broken teeth. The durable material used for crowns is carefully matched to your natural teeth, ensuring a permanent solution and a lasting result.
