Cosmetic Dental Procedures to Enhance Your Smile

cosmetic dentist San AntonioA visit to our cosmetic dentists can provide you with the answer to the question … what can I do to improve my smile? Whether you are a teen, young adult, or senior citizen, we all want the same thing and that is to present the best picture of ourselves possible. For many people, that will mean making a change to their teeth to improve their smile.

Drab, discolored teeth are probably the easiest correction to make. Zoom teeth whitening can lighten teeth many shades in one convenient, economical dental visit. You enter the office, and a short time later emerge with a Hollywood smile that will be the envy of everyone you meet.

Patients dealing with deep dental stain, misshapen or uneven teeth, unwanted gaps between teeth, or chipped, broken teeth have several options at their disposal. The least minimally invasive procedure is to correct these problems with dental veneers.

Veneers are wafer thin shells that are designed to match neighboring teeth; they will be identical in size, shape, and shade and will be cemented to the front of teeth requiring correction. While there are different veneer applications, Lumineers is a process that provides the means to reverse the procedure if needed.

With standard porcelain veneers, a layer the thickness of the veneer is removed from the front of the tooth to provide uniformity in appearance once the veneer is cemented in place. This becomes a permanent enhancement.

One of our cosmetic dentists has other options available to repair or upgrade previously repaired teeth. Tooth colored restorations can be used for bonding, correcting dental decay (newly discovered cavities or older fillings can be removed and replaced), or helping teeth suffering from gum recession. There are many ways this tooth colored resin can correct and/or restore teeth.

Crooked teeth, an over bite, or under bite can ruin your smile. Invisalign clear aligners allow people of all ages to undergo teeth straightening with these clear, comfortable, and convenient “braces”. Metal bands and brackets are no longer needed to achieve straight teeth.

Missing teeth can present a problem for patients who want to restore their ability to eat, speak, and appear like they did as naturally as possible. Dental implants provide a solid base for restorations that will be made to match surrounding natural teeth.
