How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Give You A Beautiful Smile

For many people, their smile can be a source of embarrassment or shame

. Not being happy with the appearance of your teeth can hurt your self-confidence and cause you to hesitate to smile. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, you may be able to find the solution you are looking for by talking to your Cape Coral dentist about a cosmetic dental procedure. Over the years, there have been a number of tremendous advancements in cosmetic dentistry to the point where there are now a number of different effective cosmetic procedures available to improve the appearance of your teeth. Don't hesitate to talk to your dentist about a cosmetic dental procedure if you are unhappy with how your teeth look.

Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular cosmetic treatments that patients undergo is the process of teeth whitening. The quickest and most effective whitening method available to you is to have your dentist whiten your teeth in a single quick appointment in his or her office. By using a combination of whitening gel and a special light or laser, he or she will be able to significantly whiten your teeth in less than two hours. If you don't want to spend the money on an in-office treatment, your dentist can also provide you with a take home whitening kit. He or she will take impressions of your teeth to create a set of customize whitening trays that will fit perfectly to your teeth. When you are at home, you will apply whitening gel to the trays and wear them on your teeth for about an hour. After repeating this every day for approximately two weeks, the procedure will be finished and your teeth will be much whiter. There are also a variety of over the counter products available, although they do not offer the same results as dentist-approved treatments.

Dental Veneers

Another popular cosmetic procedure is the installation of dental veneers. Veneers are thin custom-fitted shells of tooth-colored material that are attached to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. To install a set of dental veneers, your dentist will have to remove about millimeter of the enamel from the front of your teeth in order to ensure that the veneers fit in your mouth. Once the veneers are installed, they will improve both the coloring and shape of your teeth. They have a natural tooth appearance so no one will be able to tell that your teeth are not completely your own.

Dental Crowns

If you have a single tooth that is chipped, cracked or otherwise disfigured, your dentist can fix the problem by installing a dental crown. A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is installed on top of your tooth to improve its strength, size, shape and/or appearance. Your dentist will file down the tooth and take an impression to create a crown that will fit in perfectly with your other teeth. Once installed, the crown will function and appear as any other tooth in your mouth.
