If you’re researching smile redesigns, you’ve probably heard that cosmetic dentistry can give you a ‘perfect smile’ or a ‘celebrity smile.’ Are these superlatives simply exaggerations? At Allen Park Dental Care, we invite you to judge for yourself.
Since each patient has unique needs, a smile makeover may involve one of several procedures, such as:
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a metal (usually titanium) rod implanted into the jaw bone to replace the missing root of a tooth. The crown and supporting structure are securely attached to the post.
Orthodontia
Orthodontic options include traditional metal or ceramic braces, ‘behind-the-teeth’ (lingual) braces, and clear braces, such as Invisalign or Six Month Smiles.
White Fillings
If you had tooth decay in the past, you may have old amalgam fillings. White fillings match your surrounding teeth, dramatically beautifying your smile without crowns.
Dental Crowns
There are many different kinds of dental crowns that serve different purposes. We perform an extensive examination to ensure the crown you get is perfect for you and your smile.
Inlays/Onlays
Inlays/onlays are indirect fillings, which means that they are fabricated in a lab and placed whole on the tooth. A traditional direct filling is applied to the tooth while the material is malleable and then shaped by the dentist. Where possible, an inlay or an onlay can be a less-invasive alternative to a complete crown.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can correct chips, cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size.
Teeth Whitening
There is nothing like professional teeth whitening for a phenomenal white smile to give you ultimate confidence.
Dental Bonding
Dentists use bonding to fix tooth problems caused by decay, chips, or cracks. Large spaces between healthy teeth can be filled with bonding material, and bonding can guard tooth roots if the gums have regressed.
Enamel Shaping
Just one slightly misshapen tooth can downgrade the aspects of a smile even if all the other teeth have a positive appearance.
Gum Contouring
If you have a gumline that is too low or too high and detracts from the presentation, gum contouring can reshape the gumline and beautify your smile.
‘Perfect smiles’ are possible—but don’t just take our word for it. Come to Allen Park Dental to see what cosmetic dentistry can do for you.
