Our team wants to help you change your smile for the better. If you have issues like stained teeth and misshapen structure, then we could help with cosmetic dentistry. In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how we help smiles look good with cosmetic dentistry.
Starting with an Initial Consultation
To begin, we will need to look closely at your smile, so we can assess the cause and severity of your esthetic concerns. We also take time to talk to you about your own concerns and what you hope to see addressed. In many cases, we can offer this in only one visit! In addition, in the process of correcting smile imperfections we could also provide improvement for the health and function of your bite, protecting you from decay and disease. To conduct the examination in detail, we will use digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, which employ 90% less radiation!
Teeth Whitening
If you have stained teeth, we could help your smile shine with teeth whitening. While you can pick up strips and toothpastes that brighten teeth at the store, these tend to offer more minor results that are short lived, and could lead to tooth sensitivity if used improperly. But we can offer a professional solution that brightens your teeth by several shades, and provides results designed to last much longer. We will look at your smile and decide if you need teeth whitening to remove stains, or if you are better off with bonding to mask them.
Bonding and Contouring
Dental bonding involves correcting cosmetic issues with the application of a thin layer of composite resin, the same material we employ as part of our lifelike fillings. This material can be shaded to blend with your smile, and bond with the tooth to provide results that last for years to come. Placement only takes one visit, and we can mask permanent teeth stains whitening alone cannot address, and also repair minor chips and cracks. Placement could help fill in gaps between the teeth and even lengthen worn down teeth. For some, this could help makeover the smile in only one sitting!
We could also discuss dental contouring, in which we can sand and buff the outer structure to correct minor issues with the shape and surfaces of the teeth in only one visit. We can dull pointed or sharp teeth, smooth away pits and grooves, and correct the appearance of overly large or misshapen teeth in one visit!
