Cosmetic Dentistry in Dartmouth MA
Your smile is the first thing people notice and surveys show that a great smile is usually considered the most attractive facial feature. The appearance of our teeth and smile are well-known to be a crucial part of facial beauty. Not everyone develops a perfect set of brilliantly white teeth. Many patients have stained, misshapen, or gapped teeth, among other dental imperfections. Dental Studio offers Cosmetic Dentistry in Dartmouth, MA, to help improve the appearance of your smile and boost your self-esteem.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry is the branch of dentistry that aims to improve the appearance of your smile. While general dentistry provides preventive services like routine cleanings and dental fillings, Cosmetic Dentistry focuses on enhancing your teeth’s appearance. Some of the most common cosmetic dental treatments include teeth whitening, dental veneers, and dental bonding.
At Dental Studio, we recommend cosmetic dental improvements for patients who have cracked, chipped, discolored, stained, misshapen, misaligned, and gapped teeth.
As long as your teeth and gums are in good condition, you can undergo any Cosmetic Dentistry procedures. If not, we will advise you to get treatments for any teeth or gum problems you may have before going through teeth enhancement procedures.
Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to produce a smile that is more symmetrical, balanced, and visually appealing. Veneers, dental bonding, teeth whitening, and gum and teeth contouring are examples of common cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Teeth Whitening
Dark-colored foods and beverages (such as berries, coffee, and tea) can discolor your teeth over time. Your smile can be brightened and your teeth’s hue can be safely and drastically lightened with professional teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening is done in-office and with whitening trays, you will take home.
Dental Veneers
These are tough, thin shells that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are often made of porcelain or composite resin. Depending on the material you choose, the treatment may involve the removal of some enamel so that the veneer can bond with the tooth.
Dental Bonding
This treatment involves the application of composite resin that matches the color of your teeth. Tooth-colored resin hides discoloration, cracks, craze lines (hairline cracks), and other cosmetic flaws. A tooth’s shape can also be altered with dental bonding to make it longer, wider, or more uniform.
Teeth Contouring
Small portions of enamel are removed during this treatment to alter the shape of your teeth. However, because a tooth only has so much natural enamel, the changes that can be made by the treatment are limited.
Gum Contouring
Some people have very thick gums from birth. Your smile may appear uneven or “gummy” when this occurs. To give your gum line a more symmetrical, balanced appearance, Dr. Khalife will remove extra gum tissue during a gum contouring treatment.
