In the past, you may only have visited your dentist for pain relief from a toothache, regular checkups, or teeth cleanings. But did you know modern cosmetic dentistry also offers a host of benefits and will enhance your smile’s appearance, as well as your self-confidence? Dr. Charles Bumgardner, DMD, specializes in giving his Lexington, SC, patients beautiful smiles. Here are three of the cosmetic dentistry services he offers.

3 Ways a Cosmetic Dentist Will Enhance Your Smile

1. Teeth Whitening

Teeth can look stained for numerous reasons, including consuming dark-color beverages. They also get darker with age. Thanks to cosmetic dentistry, you can have beautiful, white teeth again. Teeth whitening is a fast, cost-efficient, and effective procedure that’s done right in your dental office. With some products, you will see a difference in less than an hour.

2. Veneers

Veneers are custom-created porcelain shells that cover the fronts of your teeth. They are used to hide discolored, misshapen, misaligned, or chipped teeth. Your dentist will affix the veneers permanently to the fronts of your teeth, which will instantly improve your smile.

3. Dental Implants

If you’re missing one or more teeth, your dentist can use dental implants to create a crown or anchor a bridge or dentures. Implants are made of titanium and are permanently inserted into your jawbone. With good oral care, they will last a lifetime.
