Cosmetic Dentistry at Tahoe Family Dentists
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to any dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums, and/or bites. It primarily focuses on dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance.
Types of Cosmetic Dentistry
Tahoe Family Dentists offers several types of cosmetic dentistry procedures, including teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, dental crowns, and enamel shaping and contouring.
- Teeth Whitening: This is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to improve your smile. Teeth can be bleached with in-office products in our dental practice, or you can use a system at home.
- Dental Veneers: Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain covering the teeth' front surface. They can fix issues such as chipped, decayed, or stained teeth or help improve a worn-out or poor shape or spacing.
- Dental Bonding: In dental bonding, a tooth-colored, putty-like resin, a durable plastic material, is applied to the tooth and hardened with an ultraviolet or laser light, bonding the material to the tooth. Your dentist then trims, shapes, and polishes it.
- Dental Crowns: A dental crown fits over and replaces the entire decayed or damaged tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns prevent a weak tooth from breaking or holding a cracked tooth together.
- Enamel Shaping and Contouring: Also known as dental contouring, this procedure can correct chipped, irregular, overlapping teeth or even minor bite issues.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile and have a positive impact on your overall health. Correcting your bite alignment can improve your chewing and digestion. Fixing overlaps and gaps between teeth can make them easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
