5 Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures:
Here are five popular cosmetic dentistry procedures that Dr. Ami at Designer Smiles in Evanston, IL, can perform to transform your smile:
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular and minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry procedures. Over time, teeth can become stained by coffee, tea, red wine, and certain medications. Teeth whitening treatments use bleaching agents to lighten the shade of your teeth, revealing a brighter, more youthful smile.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile procedure used to address various cosmetic concerns. A tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth and sculpted to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. Bonding can also be used to close small spaces between teeth and reshape slightly misaligned teeth.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin, precisely crafted shells made of composite resin or porcelain that cover the front of your teeth. They are an excellent option for addressing more significant cosmetic issues such as severe discoloration, chips, cracks, worn-down enamel, and gaps between teeth. Veneers offer a natural-looking and durable solution for a complete smile makeover.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are caps that resemble teeth and are used to restore or strengthen damaged teeth. Crowns can restore the strength, function, and appearance of the tooth. While they offer cosmetic benefits, they are also used for structural purposes, such as protecting a tooth after root canal therapy or holding a dental bridge in place.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. A dental crown is then placed on the implant to create a substitute tooth that looks and functions much like the original. Implants offer numerous benefits, including improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial support.
