Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Of course, one of the biggest factors that needs to be considered is the smile-enhancing treatment you choose. Let’s use teeth whitening and veneers as an example. When comparing the upfront cost of each, teeth whitening is considerably cheaper in most cases. However, the lifespan of veneers is 10+ years with proper care (while brightening treatments usually last six months or so). That’s why it’s important to learn about all of the treatment options available during your consultation: you want to make the best choice for your smile and your wallet!
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
If you’re on the fence about whether or not cosmetic dentistry is worth the investment, it might be helpful to hear about all of the perks, not just the aesthetic ones. In addition to boosting your self-esteem, investing in cosmetic dentistry can improve your success in your career and love life. Furthermore, many patients find that their oral health is better following their smile makeover. Why? Well, when you have a smile you take pride in, you care for it!
Does the idea of getting a dental filling turn you off solely because of its appearance? With the help of composite resin, there’s no reason to worry. By custom-shading your dental filling, we can ensure that it blends in perfectly with your existing tooth enamel. While composite fillings are ideal for restoring teeth, they can also be used to hide cosmetic imperfections like chips, cracks, permanent stains and even minor gaps in between your teeth!
Restoring your teeth shouldn’t have to occur at the expense of your appearance. At West Brookfield Dental, we make sure to use tooth-colored ceramics, such as porcelain, to provide you the most natural-looking restoration possible. Whether you need to restore teeth damaged by decay or replace teeth outright via a dental bridge, you can keep your smile looking natural well after your treatment is complete. We’ll customize your restoration so that it feels comfortable and looks truly part of your smile.
When you have cracks, chips, stains and gaps throughout your smile, it can be difficult to know which series of treatments are right for you. The good news is porcelain veneers take all the headache out of the equation by offering in all-in-one solution! These ultra-thin sheaths are bonded to the visible teeth in your smile, making it look perfectly white while also maintaining an organic appearance. Porcelain mimics tooth enamel in esthetic almost exactly, while also being more stain-resistant thanks to its smooth surface.
While porcelain veneers are incredibly versatile, Lumineers offer a compromise for those who do not want to alter existing tooth enamel just to have them placed. Even thinner than traditional veneers, Lumineers can be placed over teeth without removing existing enamel in most cases. This means you can remove the veneers at a later time if you deem necessary and complete treatment at no risk. Even though they are thinner, they do not compromise on appearance.
Have you ever wanted to invigorate your smile incredibly fast? Wish you could do so while avoiding the use of drills or local anesthetic? Need a treatment that is non-invasive, reversible and removable? The Snap-On Smile can guarantee all of these benefits and more! After carefully capturing impressions of your mouth, we can design a cosmetic arch that is worn over your teeth, giving you a brilliantly white smile with ease!
Not all cosmetic dentistry has to be extensive or permanent to make your smile look radiant. With teeth whitening treatments at our office, you’re getting much more than what you’d find in your local pharmacy or grocery store. This is because the bleaching ingredients we use are professional-grade, so they can penetrate the many layers of your enamel to remove stains safely and effectively. Treatment is relatively quick and removes even the toughest stains, whether they be external or internal!
