Cosmetic Dentistry
Have you examined your smile lately? What do you see? You take a close look in the mirror and notice that your teeth are not as white as they used to be. You start to feel self-conscious about your smile and begin to wonder if there is anything you can do about it. The good news is, there is!
Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years, and there are now many options available to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Below are a few of the cosmetic dentistry services we offer in our Danville, IN office!
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a widely used cosmetic dentistry procedure that can make your teeth look brighter and more youthful. At our office, we provide powerful whitening treatments that can lift your smile shade tremendously in just one hour-long appointment! Pairing an intense bleaching agent with an acceleration light, you’ll see dramatic results by the time you leave the office.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can be used to drastically improve the appearance of your smile in just two appointments. Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be used to conceal a variety of dental concerns—such as gaps between teeth, discoloration, or excessive staining. While veneers don’t directly address the problem, they do quickly hide these issues and modify the shape, size, and shade of each individual tooth with ease.
Before selecting this procedure, it’s important to recognize that veneers are a permanent treatment. This is because the process of bonding veneers to your teeth involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface. Enamel will not grow back, and your teeth will rely on veneers for protection against decay and sensitivity going forward.
Smile Makeover
Seeking something more dramatic than what teeth whitening or veneers can achieve alone? How about a smile makeover? A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that can be used to address a variety of dental concerns—all with the goal of creating a beautiful, flawless smile.
Because each smile makeover is unique, the treatments used will vary depending on your specific goals. However, some common procedures that may be included in a smile makeover are teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, and a variety of restorative prosthetics.
The Importance of a Beautiful Smile
Achieving a beautiful smile is about more than just boosting your self-esteem—although that’s certainly a nice perk! In today’s world, first impressions are everything. When you meet someone new, they will likely form an opinion of you based on your appearance—and your smile is a big part of that.
For example, if you’re looking for a job, studies have shown that those with a beautiful smile are more likely to get the position they’re interviewing for.
Your smile is also an important part of your oral health. When you feel good about your smile, you’re more likely to take care of it. This means you’re more likely to brush and floss regularly, see the dentist for regular checkups, and avoid damaging habits. All of these factors work together to keep your smile healthy and beautiful for years to come.
