What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to the treatments designed to address problems with the appearance of your smile. There are a variety of treatments that can be used alone or in combination with each other to help you look and feel your best. In addition, an attractive smile can also give you an edge in your professional life. If you are tired of trying to hide your teeth when you laugh, speak or smile, talk with our dentist.
What Problems Can Cosmetic Dentistry Fix?
Cosmetic dental treatments can address things such as discolored teeth or teeth that are chipped, fractured, cracked, broken, improperly spaced or the wrong size. These treatments can help improve minor problems with dental alignment or even replace a missing tooth. In some cases, cosmetic and restorative treatments can be combined to address multiple dental issues. Our dentist will talk with you about the goals you have for the appearance of your smile and help you create a plan for achieving them.
How To Maintain Your New Smile
Keeping your smile looking its best is easier than you think! It all starts with a good home care routine that includes brushing twice a day and flossing before bed. If you choose to brush between meals, wait at least 30 minutes after you eat. Talk with our dentist about using a whitening toothpaste or rinse. You can also eat a healthy and balanced diet and avoid foods that can discolor your smile and contribute to tooth decay. Avoid or eliminate your use of tobacco and, of course, see our dentist for your cleanings and exams.
