Targeting Cosmetic Flaws To Help Improve Your Smile

Taking aim at dental flaws with cosmetic dental work can allow you to enjoy a dramatically improved appearance. People have different needs when it comes to making improvements to how they look; the same approach to cosmetic work would not serve every patient equally. The first step before engaging in any treatment is to talk with your dentist about what can best provide the changes you desire. You may be surprised to learn their recommendations. For instance, dental discoloration is not always best addressed with a professional whitening treatment – if you have intrinsic discoloration, you will need an alternative solution.

How Gum Contouring Can Improve Your Smile

Gum contouring allows patients with excess gum tissue, or an uneven gum line, to have precise corrections made that will improve their smile. This can be performed in tandem with another cosmetic procedure, or you may determine that it is all you need to have the results you want.

Doing Worth That Covers Up Physical Flaws With Teeth

You can use porcelain veneers to hide physical flaws that are affecting your teeth, or you can elect to have your dentist perform a dental bonding treat to address these problems. Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth, and will be affixed permanently to the front of them. They cover up discoloration and damage, and can even alter the shape of a tooth. When your dentist performs a dental bonding treatment, they will use composite resin to treat damages, and help correct the look of misshapen or unusually small teeth.

The Right Approach To Whitening Your Teeth

Patients with a stained smile can see real changes after having a professional whitening procedure done. However, dental bonding and porcelain veneers can be more appropriate if you have discoloration caused by internal problems.
