Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Most people need to have fillings done from time to time. Build up of tartar and plaque can cause decay to occur in the teeth and sometimes that decay happens in the front teeth. Rather than use a traditional filling material that’s visible on the surface of the tooth, dentists opt to use a tooth-colored filling to help repair the tooth. A tooth-colored filling conceals the damage and the filling. This procedure is relatively quick and easy, and the dentist completes the process in one office visit.
Porcelain Veneers
Dentists often use veneers in restorative treatments. Veneers are also used in cosmetic dentistry to help improve your teeth’s appearance. They’re a great solution to hide cracked or chipped teeth. They provide a permanent solution that is made from strong porcelain, and they’re shaped to fit the existing teeth they will cover. Veneers bond to the existing tooth to ensure a solid grip.
Veneers can be shaped to look like your original teeth, and they can be colored to match as well. Many people choose veneers as a way to improve the look and feel of their teeth. Veneers are created from a mold taken of your mouth and can be ready in a few weeks.
Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening has come a long way over the years, and Signature Dental is pleased to offer both in-office and at-home whitening options for you. Teeth whitening doesn’t require a lot of time or effort, and you can expect to see results in as little as a few hours after your first treatment. Using the newest technologies and materials, we provide a quick and easy way for you to brighten your smile and get whiter teeth. Whitening is a great option for discolored or greying teeth, or if you have lost some of the color of your teeth due to injury or damage.
Bonding
Bonding is used to repair previous restorations that might have come loose, become cracked, or have worn away. This bonding is often used to repair fillings. For cosmetic purposes, a tooth-colored resin is used to avoid unsightly fillings being seen by other people. If fillings aren’t fixed, they can lead to more serious problems, such as infection or more damage. Ensuring your teeth look good and function properly is as important to us as it is to you.
Crowns
Crowns are often used in cosmetic dentistry to cover existing teeth and make them look better overall. Not only do crowns look good but they also protect the teeth below from damage, infection, and injury. Crowns are a great option for people who want bigger teeth, want straighter looking teeth, and who want a permanent solution for cosmetic purposes. Crowns are often used in restorative dentistry as well.
Recontouring
If your existing teeth are healthy but you want to change the way they look, recontouring might be a good option for you. Recontouring is a permanent procedure that involves filing down the edges of the tooth to create a new shape. If your teeth are pointy or have sharp edges that you don’t like, recontouring can smooth out the edges to make them look natural. Recontouring is a good solution if your teeth are all different sizes and you want them to look more uniform. Recontouring doesn’t take long, and it’s virtually painless.
