When Cosmetic Dentistry Isn't Just About Looks

When Cosmetic Dentistry Isn't Just About Looks

When people find themselves dealing with teeth that are not white, misaligned, or otherwise imperfect, it’s easy to understand why people seek cosmetic dentistry

How your smile looks can affect how you see yourself and make you self-conscious about how you’re seen by others. But as important as that can be to your sense of self-worth, cosmetic dentistry can offer more than a nicer smile and self-confidence — it can improve your oral health. 

Let’s examine cosmetic dentistry and the health benefits beyond improving the appearance of your smile.

Reasons for cosmetic dentistry

Simply speaking, cosmetic dentistry is designed to make your teeth look better. Cosmetic dentistry improves:

Whether the problem is due to diet, injury, tooth decay, or periodontal disease, there are many services designed to help. 

Our services and their benefits

To treat any of the previously mentioned dental problems, we offer several services, including:

Veneers

These are tooth coverings that hide cracks, chips, and stains. They are commonly made from porcelain and can help correct problems created by broken, chipped, or unusually shaped teeth. If taken care of, they can last for over a decade.

Bonding 

This is a tooth-colored resin material used to reform or reshape teeth and repair decay, fill cavities, close spaces between teeth, and protect exposed tooth roots when your gums recede. With touch-ups, bonding can last up to 10 years. 

Inlays and onlays 

These cosmetic covers for the cusps of your teeth are usually made of gold, composite material, or porcelain. They are used for cracked or chipped teeth that can’t be fixed with a dental filling or to repair minor to moderate tooth decay. They save the healthy part of injured teeth and help make teeth strong enough for chewing.

Dental health is essential to your overall health, and cosmetic dentistry can be a part of preserving it.

So, if your teeth need some cosmetic dental work or other dental services, make an appointment at Advanced Implant Dentistry & MedSpa of North Shore today to get started.
