If you have issues with your smile, you may be surprised at how quickly just a change or two can make your grin over. Most people are amazed at the improvement in vibrancy and evenness of their smiles thanks to cosmetic dental procedures. Here’s a closer look at three of the most popular cosmetic possibilities.
Teeth Whitening
Just ask the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry: teeth whitening is the most widely sought after cosmetic dental procedure in the United States. Your daily cup of coffee or tea, or your nightly glass of red wine are just a few ways that the things you drink and eat can take a major toll on the brightness and whiteness of your teeth. Professional teeth bleaching comes in many incarnations. Dr. Engelberg offers systems for home implementation, or he can provide you with in office teeth whitening for fast and dramatic results.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding starts with the same tooth-colored composite resin material which we use for filling cavities. Dental bonding is both an easy and conservative cosmetic dental treatment. If you have chipped, cracked, broken, or gapped teeth, the composite material glides easily over the flaws. Once the resin chemically reacts with your teeth, it becomes like a part of your dental anatomy. After the material sufficiently hardens, it is sculpted and polished for a natural tooth-like shape and translucence.
Gum Lifts
When you think about your grin, do you focus entirely on your teeth? Take a closer look the next time you smile in a mirror and you’ll see that your gums play a huge role in the overall appearance of your smile. If you happen to have too little gum tissue, your smile will have what some people refer to as a “horsey” appearance. An overabundance of gingival tissues will make your teeth appear unnaturally small and child-like. Or perhaps you have uneven gum tissues. In any of these cases, a cosmetic dental surgery called a gum lift will utilize laser technology to gently and comfortably reshape your gumline. This will provide the perfect frame for your smile.
