What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of oral health care designed to improve the physical appearance of your teeth, mouth and smile. Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are elective, but in some cases, they provide restorative benefits as well.
Cosmetic dentistry is incredibly versatile. We can use cosmetic dentistry to improve the color, shape, position, alignment and overall appearance of our patients’ smiles.
What Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Do You Offer?
Dr. Weiner and Dr. Cabello offer a number of cosmetic dentistry services, including:
Veneers
Dental veneers are wafer-thin shells of porcelain or composite resin fixed to the surface of your natural teeth. Dr. Weiner or Dr. Cabello might recommend veneers if you have stained or cracked teeth. Veneers can also change the size of your teeth or fill spaces between your teeth.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is one of the simplest cosmetic procedures. During cosmetic bonding, Dr. Weiner or Dr. Cabello applies a tooth-colored resin to a cracked, chipped or damaged tooth. Bonding is an in-office procedure that requires just one easy visit.
Teeth Whitening
Dr. Weiner and Dr. Cabello offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. Teeth whitening treatment isn’t permanent, but it can eradicate stains and discoloration from your teeth for months at a time.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you’re unhappy with the physical appearance of your teeth or smile, you’re a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry. However, the type of treatment you’ll most benefit from depends on your oral health history, budget and aesthetic goals.
Following an exam and discussion, our dentists can make recommendations that align with your individual needs. For example, if you have yellow or discolored teeth, Dr. Weiner or Dr. Cabello might suggest a series of in-office whitening sessions. On the other hand, if you’re missing one tooth or multiple teeth, they might recommend dental implants.
