Your smile is your most powerful asset. It’s the first thing people see when you introduce yourself. People see your smile when you talk and laugh, and if you have misaligned, discolored, or worn teeth, you may want to improve your smile to make a good first impression. If you’re self-conscious about your smile’s appearance, you can benefit from cosmetic dentistry. You can also benefit from improved oral health after you complete treatment with our cosmetic dentistry services in our Tampa, FL, dental office.
Cosmetic dentistry is a combination of restorative and general dentistry procedures. It principally centers on enhancing the aesthetic allure of the oral cavity. Cosmetic dentistry has become one of the most popular dental services we provide to the public in Tampa. These dental procedures can fix chipped, cracked, and fractured teeth, realign crooked teeth, and close tooth gaps. Cosmetic dental care can also remove stains from the visible portion of the teeth to make the smile look radiant and glossy. Straighter and brighter teeth encourage you to maintain your results.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Tampa, FL
Cosmetic dentistry provides versatile treatments to restore the smile’s aesthetic appeal. Some of them have been listed below:
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of medical-grade porcelain cemented on the topical surface of the teeth to fix chips, cracks, fractures, and gaps. In addition, they improve the smile’s aesthetic appeal by making the teeth look evenly shaped and lustrous. Dental veneers can cover one or all teeth in the smile line, addressing tooth damage and creating a brighter, straighter smile.
Teeth Whitening
We offer teeth whitening treatment that can remove stains and discoloration from the surface of the teeth. Teeth whitening treatments create a natural-looking sheen. We use Opalescence Boost in our office and Opalescence GO for take-home treatment. Unlike store-bought gels, toothpaste, or strips, professional whitening treatment can provide quick, visible results. This treatment also delivers higher concentrations of active ingredients to lift tooth stains.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a set of clear aligners that treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues like crooked, misaligned, and gapped teeth. The clear aligners align the teeth in their ideal position to make the smile look symmetric and aesthetic. Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional braces and uses custom-designed clear trays to fix orthodontic issues. Patients wear their aligners for 10 or more months – based on the severity of the problem. Invisalign shifts teeth to their ideal position by applying a calculated force.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding treatment uses tooth-colored, malleable materials that we sculpt and cure to teeth. Bonding is a similar treatment to veneers, but we recommend bonding for smaller smile areas. Patients with a chipped tooth or single discolored tooth benefit from tooth bonding treatment to create a seamless look.
Smile Makeovers in Tampa, FL
If you are self-conscious about your smile and have multiple cosmetic dental problems you want to treat at once, ask us about a smile makeover. A smile makeover can rejuvenate your smile to help you get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
To begin your smile makeover, you will visit our office for a consultation. We will evaluate your smile to determine if you require general or restorative care before cosmetic treatment. Our office can provide treatment to address gum disease, cavities, or other oral health problems so you are in optimal health for your cosmetic treatment.
We will use a combination of our cosmetic dental services to treat your smile. Services included in a smile makeover consist of:
- Teeth Whitening
- Invisalign
- Porcelain Veneers
- Dental Bonding
We will determine the order of your cosmetic treatments based on your specific needs. For example, if you need to straighten misaligned teeth and brighten your smile, we may recommend orthodontic treatment with Invisalign before professional teeth whitening in our office.
We will suggest the best order for your treatment for optimal results and will be there every step of the process, from treatment planning to post-treatment maintenance.
Can Cosmetic Dentistry Improve My Oral Health?
You may think that cosmetic dentistry only focuses on the look of your smile. While you benefit from a straighter and brighter smile after completing cosmetic treatment, that isn’t the only advantage of cosmetic dental treatment.
Cosmetic dentistry has the added benefit of improving oral health and daily dental hygiene routine. Each cosmetic dental treatment can address a different concern and prevent the chance of developing more dental problems from your cosmetic problem. For instance, addressing dental injuries or natural tooth wear prevents further damage to your smile. If you have a chipped or fractured tooth, dental bonding can prevent broken teeth from further damage and pain when biting and chewing.
Brightening tooth stains with professional teeth whitening or porcelain veneers improves not only your confidence but also your motivation to care for your smile. Once you see your bright new smile, you will be more likely to brush, floss, and avoid foods and drinks that can potentially damage your teeth.
Straightening crooked teeth will also make it easier for you to brush and floss. It can be difficult to clean between misaligned or crooked teeth. Food debris can hide between teeth, attracting harmful bacteria that lead to cavities and gum disease. Straight teeth are easy to clean and maintain.
Ultimately, cosmetic dentistry improves the look and health of your smile. If you choose cosmetic dentistry treatment from a professional dentist, you benefit from confidence-boosting results that last.
