Cosmetic Dentistry Q & A
What is cosmetic dentistry?
General dentistry, like cleanings and fillings, is an important part of a strong oral health care routine. But achieving a vibrant smile isn’t just about preventive care. Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dentistry focused on the appearance of teeth.
At Vibrant Smile Dentistry, the cosmetic dental team specializes in improving the way your teeth look — and the way you feel about them — with the latest in cosmetic dental technology.
Some of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures include:
- Teeth whitening
- Veneers
- Bonding
- Crowns
- Invisalign®
- Laser dentistry
- Bridges and dentures
- Six Month Smiles®
- Dental implants
Vibrant Smile Dentistry is proud to offer Bioclear®, a revolutionary treatment that combines the benefits of traditional bonding and veneers to transform the look of your smile.
What imperfections can cosmetic dentistry correct?
The enamel on teeth is naturally strong, but years of chewing, speaking, and living life lead to wear-and-tear. The damage can leave you hiding your smile, but the goal of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance of your teeth.
You could benefit from cosmetic dentistry if any of the following bother you:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps
- Crooked teeth
- Missing teeth
While many cosmetic dental treatments are elective, others have functional benefits alongside cosmetic improvements. Talk to the Vibrant Smile Dentistry team to determine the best options for you.
Which cosmetic dental treatments are right for my smile?
Your smile is unique, and your cosmetic dental treatment plan should be, too. Vibrant Smile Dentistry provides customized recommendations for you, based on your needs and goals for treatment.
Many people enjoy the results they achieve with teeth whitening and treatments like veneers or Bioclear. Six Month Smiles can straighten crooked teeth in six months. Using either clear braces or invisible aligners, you could have a smile to be proud of in around a quarter of the time many teeth straightening treatments require. For others, restorative treatments can enhance functionality and appearance at the same time.
Full mouth reconstruction, also called a smile makeover, addresses multiple problems impacting the appearance and functionality of your teeth. Reconstruction often includes a combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments to repair worn teeth, open up your bite, and often, decrease pain.
Can I benefit from Bioclear treatment?
Bioclear is a cosmetic procedure that has the power to restore and revitalize your smile. It uses a specialized, durable composite material to reshape and recolor teeth that are damaged, worn down, or unsightly.
Bioclear could be a great option for your smile if you’re looking for a dramatic change, but you want an alternative to traditional veneers or bonding. Not only can Bioclear treatment be quicker and more affordable than veneers, but the treatment also lasts much longer.
Many people who get Bioclear continue enjoying their new smile for up to 10 years. The clear composite used to reshape your smile is natural-looking, and it doesn’t disrupt your bite. There’s no need to remove any natural tooth material when getting Bioclear, so treatment is comfortable from start to finish.
Vibrant Smile Dentistry specializes in delivering beautiful smiles that make you feel great. Book a consultation online or call the office to learn more about the cosmetic dental services available.
