Am I a Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?


 

Your smile is a big part of who you are. It has the power to send a message and tell others about you, even before you ever utter a word. When your smile is less than perfect, it can give off the wrong impressions and can make you feel quite self-conscious. At Myers Dental, we can help with cosmetic dentistry.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?


While not an official dental specialty, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to help provide you with the most beautiful smile possible, which can also aid in boosting your confidence as well. Because your smile is unique to you, we can help to design a treatment plan that provides you with the best results possible.

What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Treat?


Cosmetic dentistry can provide treatment for some different issues that affect the quality of your smile. These issues include

• Tooth discoloration.

• Cracked or chipped teeth.

• Gapped teeth.

• Crooked or overlapping teeth.

• Teeth that are misshapen or small.

• Teeth that are excessively worn.

• Missing teeth.

• Excessive gum tissue.

• Gum recession.


Cosmetic Procedures


There are some different procedures that can be performed to help restore the appearance of your smile, and boost your confidence. These procedures include

 


Teeth whitening: We can provide in-office whitening, which takes one appointment and an hour of time. Alternatively, whitening trays can be used, allowing you to professionally whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home.


Dental bonding: This treatment uses composite resin to fix minor flaws in your teeth. Composite resin can also be used as a filling to treat small cavities in front teeth, providing metal and mercury free alternative to amalgam.

Porcelain veneers: Veneers are an alternative to bonding. They are stronger and last longer.

Ceramic crowns: Crowns treat larger tooth damage. Ceramic can be stained to match the exact color of your natural teeth and reflects light just like real tooth enamel.


Dental implants: Implants are an alternative to dentures and bridges. Your Dental Implants look and feel completely natural and help to preserve the strength of your jawbone.


• Aesthetic gum lift: This is a treatment that helps to eliminate excess gum tissue. A laser helps to achieve this goal, shaping a more natural, aesthetic gum line.


• Soft tissue grafting: In the event of gum recession, a soft tissue graft can be used to restore a healthier, more aesthetic gum line.


• Smile makeover: There are many components involved in your smile. If there are several issues affecting the quality of your smile, we can devise a custom smile makeover to help you achieve your best smile.

Am I a Candidate?


If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your smile, you may be a candidate for cosmetic dentistry. Before undergoing any treatments, we perform a consultation. We examine your mouth to determine the aesthetic issues affecting your smile and discuss your concerns. This will help to determine if you are a good candidate and what treatments will help to provide you with the best results.

Cosmetic dentistry can help to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums, boosting the quality of your smile and your confidence. For more information, and to schedule your consultation, call Myers Dental at (512) 506-9889 today.
