Improve Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry procedures can completely transform your smile for the better. However, you shouldn’t get a cosmetic procedure just if you want it. Instead, you should only get cosmetic dentistry procedures if your dentist deems them necessary. Below are some signs that your dentist thinks it’s time for a cosmetic procedure.

• You have your teeth whitened regularly.
• Your teeth are yellow or brown.
• You have chips or cracks in your teeth.
• Your teeth have spaces between them.
• You have teeth that are misshapen or irregularly shaped.
• You have teeth that are too small or too large.
• Your teeth have stains on them.
• You have teeth that are broken or chipped.
• You have teeth that are worn down.
• You have teeth that are worn or receding.
• Your teeth are crooked, or you have teeth that are overlapping.

Our dentist in Reno, NV, uses a variety of treatments to improve your smile. Here are a few of the procedures you can expect:

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a fast and affordable way to improve the appearance of teeth. The dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material to the tooth, then molds it and bonds it to the tooth. This procedure is an effective way to hide minor cracks and chips and also close gaps between teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are placed over the teeth. The dentist will shave off a small amount of enamel before applying the veneers. 

Porcelain veneers are an effective way to improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen, stained, or crooked.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. Dental crowns are used to protect a damaged tooth from further harm and to restore its appearance.

A dental bridge is a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth. It is anchored to neighboring teeth with dental crowns. With a dental bridge in place, a patient is able to maintain proper bite alignment and prevent other teeth from shifting out of place.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. This procedure is non-invasive and provides a whiter and brighter smile in less time than it takes to watch a movie.

Gum Contouring (gum lift)

Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line, making gums appear more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. Gum contouring can fix a “gummy” smile by removing excess gum tissue.
