Is your smile lacking luster? While most people might not be aware, cosmetic dentistry procedures are an increasingly popular way to brighten your smile. These accessible and affordable procedures are changing people’s lives by providing them with the smile they’ve always wanted. Keen Dental Care specializes in providing quality cosmetic dentistry procedures to their Columbia, Missouri clientele. Below they’ve outlined their three most popular types of cosmetic dentistry procedures. 

Top 3 Most Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

1. Teeth Whitening

Many dental patients opt to get their teeth whitened after undergoing a dental cleaning. Depending on which service you select, teeth whitening can be performed in your dentist’s office, as well as within the comfort of your home. While you will see more significant color changes in a shorter amount of time with an in-office teeth whitening procedure, the results may fade faster than using the whitening trays at home. Consult your dentist for the best option for you. 

2. Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth, giving them the appearance and beauty of natural teeth. With proper care, veneers can last up to 20 years, giving dulled or imperfect smiles a natural-looking boost. Veneers easily resolve the issues of crooked, cracked, or damaged teeth, and can also correct gaps.

3. Dental Implants

Since our smiles are one of the first things we show to the world, missing teeth can easily cause trepidation in social situations. However, dental implants have changed the lives of many by replacing missing teeth. While implants generally involve more than one office visit, your dentist will coordinate the placement and restoration of the new implant in your jaw. These implants support the jaw structure, give shape to your face, and are nearly indistinguishable from your other teeth.
