Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry provides numerous benefits to your oral health and smile. Whether you have crooked, stained, chipped, or missing teeth, there's no cosmetic dental procedure that can't improve the way your teeth look. Cosmetic dentistry allows patients to maintain overall good oral health but will also modify their bite, whiten their teeth, straighten their alignment, and bring a new, natural-looking glow to their smile. Many patients have perfectly healthy teeth and gums but may still feel insecure about the imperfections of their mouth, teeth, gaps, chips, stains, and overall smile. Cosmetic dentistry can help address all these issues, leading patients to feel more confident than ever about their smile.

Children and Cosmetic Dentistry

Children can begin cosmetic dental treatments by the age of seven years old. By this age, most children have lost all of their baby teeth, and it's the perfect time for parents to begin focusing on straightening their adult teeth so that they can form and grow as healthy as possible. Cosmetic dentistry will be able to fill in gaps, remove stains, improve alignment issues, and, with regular dental checkups, keep their teeth cavity-free as they grow. Investing in cosmetic dentistry at an early age may prevent the need for braces as they grow older and will help achieve a bright, stunning smile.

Veneers or Bonds: Which One is Right For Me?

The top concern for most patients interested in cosmetic dentistry is improving the appearance of misaligned, chipped, or cracked teeth. This process often involves the cosmetic procedures of dental bonding or getting veneers, but many people wonder, "Which one is right for me?" Dental bonds are best for patients looking to fix one single tooth. If you've chipped, cracked, or broken a single tooth, bonds will do the trick, as their extra strength and design are made to fit your tooth and align perfectly with the rest of your teeth. If you are interested in replacing or improving multiple teeth or most of your smile, porcelain veneers may benefit you more than dental bonds. Porcelain veneers are built to last longer than bonds because of their material. In addition, its nearly-white, translucent appearance gives off a natural look, making your teeth look like they are completely your own. An overall smile makeover using porcelain veneers often gives patients whiter, brighter, and more radiant smiles.

Addressing Your Anxiety

We understand that visiting the dentist is a cause for anxiety for many patients. We've made easing anxiety one of our top priorities. If you've struggled with dental anxiety so severe that it prevents you from getting the dental work you need, sedation dentistry might be an option for you. With sedation dentistry, Dr. Greehalgh uses sedatives to place you into a pleasant, relaxed, dream-like state during your procedure.
