What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is the discipline of dentistry that focuses on how your smile looks. Cosmetic procedures aren’t medically necessary even if they come with benefits beyond giving you a beautiful smile.
Some cosmetic procedures help your teeth function, but the main goal is to make your smile shine and, in turn, give your confidence a boost.
How can cosmetic dentistry improve my smile?
With the many cosmetic dentistry procedures and devices available, you can correct nearly any imperfection in your smile. Cosmetic dental procedures can fix:
- Discoloration
- Spots on your teeth
- Teeth that are too small
- Chips and cracks
- Misshapen teeth
- Missing teeth
- Crooked teeth
- “Gummy” smiles
Whichever feature causes you to cover your teeth and hide your smile, Dr. Schraner has a solution. If your smile needs extensive fixes, she’ll help you form a personalized treatment plan to meet all your cosmetic goals.
What cosmetic dental procedures are available?
At Yonkers Dental Arts, Dr. Schraner offers a range of cosmetic dental procedures and appliances to help you look your best, including:
Teeth whitening
In-office whitening treatments give you quick whitening and brightening results. Over time, your smile becomes duller and more yellow and your teeth can accumulate stains. With whitening treatments, you can enjoy a smile that stands out and looks clean.
Veneers
Veneers are porcelain shells that stick to the front of your tooth, giving it your desired appearance. With veneers, you can give your teeth the shape, length, and color that you want people to see on the outside.
Implants, crowns, and bridges
Implants, crowns, and bridges restore a smile that’s missing one or more teeth. These appliances aren’t exclusively cosmetic, but they sure do make your smile look better.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments, like braces or Invisalign® clear aligners, allow you to enjoy a smile full of straight teeth.
Bonding
Dental bonding can fill spaces, cracks, and chips in your teeth. Bonding materials that are the same color as your natural teeth harden into place to restore your tooth’s full shape.
If you’re not satisfied with how your smile looks, you deserve the ability to show it off confidently. For expert cosmetic dental treatments, call Yonkers Dental Arts or schedule a consultation online today.
