Want your smile to look amazing? Even if your teeth function perfectly, sometimes they can be problematic if they don’t look great. Discolored, uneven, or gapped teeth can lessen our sense of attractiveness and make us less confident in the world. Unattractive teeth can also have social and professional consequences! Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry can fix all of this!
Cosmetic dentistry is a specialty area of dentistry that uses a combination of cosmetic procedures, prostheses, and restorative treatments to improve the appearance of your teeth and overall smile.
Carson dentists who are trained in cosmetic dentistry will be able to assess your smile and offer treatment options that can help improve your overall oral health as well as make you extra confident about smiling in public.
Many people choose cosmetic dentistry because they want a brighter, whiter smile for professional reasons, such as public-facing jobs. Some are unhappy with the way their teeth look. Other people choose cosmetic dentistry because it can improve their confidence or self-esteem.
Cosmetic dentistry also has benefits beyond just appearance. Cosmetic dental treatments can repair or replace damaged teeth that show signs of wear or decay. Cosmetic treatments can also be used to replace old or broken fillings with restorations that look great, while offering long-lasting protection from cavities and other damage caused by bacteria buildup around the tooth’s surface.
Oftentimes, patients who have had braces as children may have gaps between their teeth, which need to be filled in order to enhance the appearance of teeth. But filling gaps isn’t just cosmetic, it also helps avoid getting food caught between teeth when eating.
If you have lost a tooth due to injury or decay, this could also be improved through cosmetic dentistry by getting an implant or a dental bridge.
In addition, some patients choose cosmetic procedures so that their bite can be corrected if there are problems such as an overbite or underbite.
At Care Dental Center in Carson, California, we offer a number of cosmetic dental treatments and procedures, including:
Teeth whitening done at your Carson dental office is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. It’s a quick and easy way to brighten your smile and boost your self-confidence.
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. When done professionally in our Carson dental office, teeth whitening is a non-invasive, safe, and effective way to brighten your smile.
A porcelain crown is a strong, protective cap that covers the entire tooth. It can be used to restore teeth that are broken, cracked, or severely discolored. A dental crown is typically made from porcelain or composite resin, though sometimes people get special caps made of metals like gold. We prefer porcelain crowns due to their durability and stain-resistance.
A fixed bridge is a dental appliance that replaces missing teeth. Porcelain fixed bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A porcelain fixed bridge consists of two crowns and either one or two pontics (the part of the bridge that goes in between the crowns) – all made with porcelain. These materials are bonded to the surrounding teeth on both sides to create a new support for your smile.
The good news about fixed bridges is that they’re permanent, which means no more visits to the dentist for adjustments or repairs! Additionally, because they’re cemented in place on your existing teeth, you can eat and speak normally—no need to worry about them coming loose while chewing food or speaking out loud.
Porcelain veneers are a common way to improve the appearance of teeth. Porcelain is a type of dense, hard ceramic that can be shaped to fit over the front surface of your tooth. This gives you a more even smile and makes your natural teeth look whiter than they really are.
The main benefit of having porcelain veneers is that they’ll change the color and appearance of your teeth without removing them—so if you have crooked or chipped teeth but still want to retain your natural teeth, this option might be worth considering!
Porcelain veneers are typically only used to treat the visible front teeth. They are very thin, only about 0.5 millimeter thick. They can be bonded to your existing teeth or to a dental implant. In both cases, you should see an instant improvement in the appearance of your smile!
Porcelain inlays and onlays are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by cavities or other dental conditions. An inlay is a type of restoration that goes on the surface of the top of the tooth, while an onlay can extend over the top and sides. Both work to protect against further decay and improve your smile. If you’re not sure which one will give you better results, consult with your Carson dentist to determine which option is right for you!
Cosmetic dentistry procedures such as crowns and veneers will cover up any discolored or chipped areas that may be visible on the surface of your natural teeth. And if you’re unhappy with how crooked or crowded your teeth are, orthodontic treatment may straighten them out while retaining their natural shape so they look perfect next to each other—and even better than before!
If you’re unhappy with your smile and want to make a change, talk to your cosmetic dentist at Care Dental Center in Carson about what options are available. We can help you find the best treatment for your unique needs and goals.
