Are you less than in love with the appearance of your smile? Do you have things about your teeth that you wish you could change? If that sounds familiar, make your own dreams come true with the help of cosmetic dentistry. Here are four common dental issues that can be corrected by cosmetic dentistry, so you can smile with confidence and truly feel good about the way you look!

Porcelain Veneers

Do you have chipped, cracked, misshapen, stained, or discolored teeth? These flaws can be hard to appreciate. Thankfully, they can be corrected with the help of porcelain veneers. These thin porcelain shells are custom sized and shaped to fit over your existing teeth and create the appearance of a more even, whiter, brighter smile. They also resist staining, so you can enjoy the foods you love without fear, and they last for up to 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding uses the same material your dentist uses to create fillings when you have cavities. This natural looking and feeling composite resin putty can be used to resculpt damaged areas of your teeth by rebuilding them. They will look and feel just like your “real” teeth, and the results are so durable that they can be expected to last for about eight to ten years.

ClearCorrect Aligners

ClearCorrect clear aligners are the modern solution to a variety of orthodontic problems. Gone are the days when wire-and-bracket braces were your only option for straighter teeth. Today, clear aligners can safely and effectively move the teeth into a more ideal position. They are clear, so they are less obvious than old-fashioned braces, they’re removable for meals and cleaning so your teeth stay healthier than with braces, and the treatment itself is often shorter than it would be with them, too!

Professional Whitening

ZOOM! Whitening is a professional whitening system that can lift several colors of stains from your teeth in just one session. In around an hour, you can have a beautiful, whiter, brighter smile that takes years off your appearance. If you don’t have the time to sit at the dentist’s office, you can even bring home a set of ZOOM! trays to gradually whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. While professional whitening results are not permanent (meaning your teeth can develop stains again if you are not careful) they offer a fast, affordable solution to dull, discolored teeth.
