Cosmetic dentistry can help you have a more attractive smile. Your smile is the first thing most people notice about you. If you are unhappy with your smile, it can make social interactions difficult and leave you feeling self-conscious.
But with cosmetic dentistry, we can improve the appearance of your teeth. If you have misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, or teeth that are stained, crooked, broken, or otherwise misshapen, cosmetic dentistry offers solutions.
Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic treatment that uses a resin material to cover imperfections in the teeth. The material is hardened and polished to look like a natural tooth.
Composite bonding is used to close small gaps between teeth, correct small chips in the teeth, change the color of teeth and repair small cracks and fractures.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are caps that fit over the fronts of teeth, providing a natural-looking, attractive appearance. They are made of thin, tooth-colored porcelain. They require little to no preparation, and they resist staining.
Dental veneers are permanent, but they are easy to maintain. Patients must simply brush, floss, and visit the dentist regularly for examinations and cleanings.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. It can be used to make teeth a few shades lighter or to remove stubborn stains that can build up over time. Whitening treatments can typically be completed within an hour or two, although at-home kits may take longer.
Your dentist may recommend a teeth whitening treatment if you have stained or discolored teeth. Professional whitening treatments can help remove deep stains, whereas over-the-counter products may find it hard to remove them. If you’re interested in getting teeth whitening, contact our Dentist in Round Rock, TX. We can recommend the best type of whitening treatment for you.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a restorative dentistry treatment that replaces only the visible part of the tooth. They are typically made of porcelain and cover the entire visible surface of the tooth. They are used to treat tooth decay, tooth damage, and cavities. They are also commonly used after root canal treatment.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They replace teeth roots and support a custom-made dental crown or bridge.
Dental implants are titanium replacement roots. They are surgically implanted in the jawbone. Once the jaw has healed, the implants fuse with the bone, providing stability and support for the teeth. Dental implants support dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Tooth Reshaping
You can reshape one or more teeth to improve your smile.
Tooth reshaping includes procedures such as enamel shaping, dental bonding, and dental veneers. Dentists may recommend these treatments to change a tooth’s length, shape, or size.
These treatments can close gaps between the teeth, change the tooth’s shape, and repair chips, cracks, and minor fractures.
