Are you in need of a smile transformation? From subtle changes to major oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry techniques can treat an array of dental blemishes and problems including teeth that are discolored, chipped, missing or misshaped. General dentistry addresses the health of your teeth and gums, while cosmetic dentistry focuses on both the appearance and well-being of your teeth, mouth and smile. With advancements in cosmetic dentistry, your dentist in Highland and Poughkeepsie, NY has the ability to transform your smile with everything from advanced teeth whitening and translucent tooth coverings to complete smile makeovers. What is Cosmetic Dentistry? Not everyone is born with a perfect smile, but thanks to the development of cosmetic dentistry, people can change their smile into a smile they love. From subtle changes to an entire smile makeover, your Highland dentist can perform an array of procedures to help improve your smile. Your cosmetic dentist can reshape your teeth, close spaces, restore worn or short teeth or alter the length of your teeth. Some common cosmetic dentistry procedures include: * Teeth whitening and bleaching
* Bonding
* Crowns
* Veneers
* Contouring and shaping Repair Damaged Teeth with Dental Crowns Crowns are synthetic caps that are placed on the top of a damaged tooth to protect it from further damage, and are typically made of a material like porcelain. After a restorative procedure such as a root canal, dental crowns are used to restore a tooth's function and appearance. When decay in a tooth becomes so severe that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns can be used to restore the tooth back to normal. Additionally, crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants, prevent a cracked tooth from becoming worse, or an existing filling is in jeopardy of becoming loose or dislocated. They can also be placed when a discolored or stained tooth needs to be restored to its natural appearance.
Minimally Invasive Dental Bonding For minor tooth imperfections, dental bonding may be a suitable solution for repairing your small blemishes. Unlike veneers and crowns, which require the customization of tooth coverings, bonding can generally be completed in just one appointment. Additionally, many patients use bonding to fill cavities, a great alternative to unsightly, silver fillings. The procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the patient's affected tooth. The resin is hardened with a special light, which bonds the material to the tooth. Your dentist will then sculpt and polish the tooth to its desired shape and appearance. Cosmetic dentistry offers a wide variety of options for patients who are dissatisfied with their smiles. Whether you want to correct a small chip or repair several stained or misshapen teeth, your Highland dentist can help you determine the best solution for your specific need.
