\"459899307\"<\/a>Are you looking for a perfect smile? Modern dentists have many dental procedures that focus on aesthetics rather than simply oral health. Some cosmetic procedures are superficial, others are significant and involve surgery, but nearly every visible problem is treatable with one or more cosmetic procedures.<\/p>\n

Common cosmetic procedures include the following:<\/em>
\n– Composite white fillings repair cavities without having silver filling in the mouth. Existing metal fillings can be replaced with modern white resin
\n– Bonding uses composite resin to help change the size, shape, or color of teeth. Because it attaches to teeth in the same way that composite fillings attach, bonding can be used to fix chips on visible front teeth.
\n– Teeth that are discolored or stained can be whitened \u2013 either in the office or using take-home trays
\n– Veneers \u2013 a thin layer of porcelain on top of the tooth – can be used to change tooth shape, size, or color
\n– Crowns can be used as a cap on top of teeth damaged by cracks or decay
\n– Orthodontics \u2013 either traditional or Invisalign \u2013 can be used to permanently straighten teeth.
\n– Gum tissue can be surgically altered \u2013 either added via grafts to help with recession, or removed to create a more appealing tooth length
\n– For missing, broken, or severely damaged teeth, full implants can be used to provide a replacement tooth<\/p>\n

Because modern dentists have implants as a final catchall, virtually any problem \u2013 even major problems involving multiple missing teeth \u2013 can be solved given enough time and room in the patient\u2019s budget. However, your dentist will be able to guide you through the process, creating a treatment plan that maps the various procedures and prioritizes them \u2013 making sure that the procedures are done in the proper order to maximize their effectiveness. If you have elements of your smile you\u2019d like to change, or if you have questions about particular cosmetic procedures, call your dentist and schedule an appointment \u2013 they\u2019ll be happy to explain the procedures, pros, cons, and discuss whether or not you\u2019re a candidate for any various procedure.<\/p>\n
