Time For Cosmetic Dentistry?

How do you feel about the appearance of your smile? If you have concerns about the appearance of your teeth, then you may benefit from treatment with cosmetic dentistry. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about helping smiles with teeth whitening and dental bonding.

Starting with Your Cosmetic Consultation

To begin, we want you to see our team for a cosmetic consultation. We will talk to you about your concerns for your smile and then obtain clear and detailed images of your bite with digital x-rays and intraoral camera technology. With this information, we will be able to assess the cause and severity of your tooth loss, so we can choose the right treatment option to help restore your smile’s appearance. We could even combine multiple treatments for a smile makeover!

Teeth Whitening

You can buy store-bought strips and toothpastes that brighten smiles, but the results may be minor and last only a short time. You also run the risk of tooth sensitivity if they are used improperly. But we can offer professional teeth whitening that can brighten smiles by several shades and provide results that truly last. Talk to our team about our professional teeth whitening option, so we can help you feel confident in your smile by removing your unsightly teeth stains!

Dental Bonding

To take on multiple cosmetic imperfections, our team could use dental bonding. Employing the same composite resin as our tooth-colored fillings, the bonding procedure can transform your smile in one sitting. Our team will numb the tooth, remove decay, and clean it thoroughly. We then apply the material in several layers. We shade it to blend with your tooth and the rest of the smile.

With dental bonding, our team can mask teeth stains and even reshape malformed or damaged teeth, correcting minor chips and cracks. We can also lengthen worn down tooth structures and even fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. For some, this alone is a smile makeover in only one sitting!

Dental Contouring

We have another same-day cosmetic treatment, with dental contouring. With this option, we don’t add to the tooth, we actually sand and buff the outer structure to correct cosmetic imperfections, such as minor chips. We can smooth out grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer structures. We can also dull sharp, pointed, or jagged tooth structures. If you have any questions about our cosmetic treatments, or if you want to schedule a consultation to start your journey to a shining new smile, then contact our team today to learn more.
