Cosmetic Dentistry Q&A
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry uses custom-crafted restorations, oral prosthetics, and orthodontic treatment to improve the outward appearance of your teeth and gums. It provides a convenient way to address stains, tooth damage, gum disease, and oral misalignments, allowing for a balanced, symmetrical smile.
Most cosmetic dentistry treatments are elective, but some offer the added benefit of improved oral health. For example, by replacing missing teeth, you can prevent gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth.
What are the types of cosmetic dentistry?
At Image Aesthetic Dentistry, the team offers a variety of cosmetic dentistry services, including:
Invisalign®
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that uses aligners made of SmartTrack®, an FDA-approved thermoplastic. The aligners put mild pressure on your teeth and jaw, gradually moving them into the optimal position. Invisalign is quicker than traditional braces and more discreet. The appliances fit snugly over your teeth and can be removed at any time.
Facial contouring
Facial contouring by Evoke uses radiofrequency technology to heat the subdermal tissue beneath your skin. The heating process changes the composition of the soft tissue, eliminating wrinkles and fine lines while tightening the skin around your neck and jawline.
CEREC same-day crowns
Same-day crowns are dental restorations milled from a block of ceramic. Image Aesthetic Dentistry has a CEREC machine on-site. That means you can repair a damaged or decaying tooth in just one appointment, saving time and money.
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are oral prosthetics that replace one or multiple permanent teeth. Image Aesthetic Dentistry offers several types of dental bridges, including fixed and removable. A bridge restores your smile and makes daily activities like biting and chewing easier.
Fillings
A filling repairs damage to your tooth enamel caused by decay. Image Aesthetic Dentistry uses tooth-colored fillings. These fillings mimic the color and light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, ensuring the cosmetic work blends in with your smile.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening uses medical-grade solutions like hydrogen or carbamide peroxide gel to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth.
The team at Image Aesthetic Dentistry offers in-office teeth whitening treatment and take-home teeth whitening trays. Though the results aren’t permanent, they typically last six months* and sometimes longer.
Teeth cleaning
Teeth cleaning is a routine procedure that removes plaque and tartar from between your teeth and underneath your gum line. It lowers the risk of tooth decay and gum disease while ensuring your teeth remain white, bright, and beautiful.
How can I know if cosmetic dentistry will benefit me?
The only way to know if cosmetic dentistry will benefit you is to visit the team at Image Aesthetic Dentistry. Following an oral exam, oral X-rays, and a discussion of what you like and dislike about your smile, your provider can make recommendations that align with your budget and goals.
