How Can a Cosmetic Dentist Help You?

◊ Functionality 

If you have worn or cracked teeth, large fillings, broken cusps, or have previously had dental implants or a root canal, a cosmetic dentist may suggest a dental crown, or a cap which covers a damaged tooth. When restoring multiple teeth, dental bridges may be used. For missing teeth, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution

◊ Color

Cosmetic dentistry addresses stained or discolored teeth by providing professional whitening services that last for much longer than at-home options. 

◊ Alignment 

In addition to restorative procedures,  cosmetic dentistry also focuses on alignment issues. In some cases, poorly aligned teeth can cause additional wear on the teeth and/or gums. It may add strain to the jaw muscles which in extreme cases can cause teeth to crack and can also cause temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, as well as chronic headaches. Traditional braces or Invisalign®can help alleviate these issues while also providing a straighter, more attractive smile. Invisalign®, in particular, allows for patients to straighten their teeth but the option to remove the device to eat helps create an overall more comfortable experience. 

Addressing oral care is not just important to your self esteem, it’s a critical part of your overall health and wellbeing
