Cosmetic dentistry can do more than just improve your looks. When you know your smile is at its best, you’ll feel more confident and smile more often, boosting your mood while making a better impression on the people around you. If you aren’t satisfied with your teeth, you can have an all new smile with just a few procedures. Ask your dentist which of the following cosmetic dentistry techniques are right for you.

Top Cosmetic Dentistry Techniques

1. Dental Implants

Nothing detracts more from a smile than missing teeth. If you’re considering tooth replacement options, dental implants provide a natural, inconspicuous look. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants also help maintain the jaw and gum tissue.

2. Veneers

Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells that are attached to the front surface of your teeth, replacing stained, cracked, crooked, or uneven surfaced with a perfect new mask. Almost any cosmetic dentistry problem can be addressed with veneers.

3. Bonding

Dental bonding is just as versatile as veneers, but less permanent and doesn’t require reshaping the underlying teeth. For a quick, economical option or minor changes, dental bonding is the technique of choice.

4. Crown Lengthening

Perfectly healthy and beautiful teeth can be obscured by excessive or uneven gums. Crown lengthening, also called a gum lift, removes and reshapes excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth — and with modern laser treatment options, the procedure is faster and more comfortable than ever.

5. Teeth Whitening

For a dramatic improvement in one session without any invasive procedures, choose teeth whitening. This technique helps lift away deep-set tooth stains, restoring the whiteness of your enamel for a cleaner, shinier smile.
