Cosmetic Dentistry
Do you wish your smile were whiter or more attractive? Perhaps the flaws in your teeth make you feel self-conscious. Fortunately, no one has to suffer with the negative effects of a flawed smile. Cosmetic dental treatments can transform the appearance of teeth so that a person feels renewed confidence to smile and interact with others. Our dentist, Dr. Ake, has experience improving the appearance of teeth by prescribing professional whitening treatments, placing white restorations, and bonding porcelain veneers.
Teeth Whitening
When it comes to lightening the color of your teeth, nothing can compare to a professional whitening treatment. Dr. Ake utilizes prescription-grade whitening solutions so that our patients enjoy noticeable results that won’t exacerbate tooth sensitivity or irritate soft oral tissue. Under our team’s supervision, professional teeth whitening can lighten a smile about eight shades. Unlike store bought whitening products, prescription solutions are potent enough to penetrate tooth enamel to lift away stains that have developed deep in tooth structure. Years of drinking coffee and eating dark-colored foods can vanish with the help of a professional treatment.
White Restorations
In the past, restorations like fillings and crowns were made from obvious (and unsightly metals). Today, however, restorations can enhance a smile by repairing tooth structure discreetly. Our practice can also replace old metal dental work with tooth-colored materials. If teeth are mildly decayed, a tooth-colored filling made from composite resin is an inconspicuous way to protect vital tooth structure without detracting from the aesthetics of a smile. Porcelain is another common tooth-colored material used for dental crowns and inlays. White crowns have restorative and cosmetic benefits. A crown can hide worn down, jagged, chipped, and internally stained teeth from plain view.
Porcelain Veneers
If a person has various types of smile flaws, porcelain veneers might be a great option for a complete smile makeover. Veneers are razor-thin enhancements that are bonded over teeth to produce a uniform appearance. Porcelain veneers can conceal intrinsic and extrinsic tooth stains along with misshapen, jagged, and crooked teeth. Each veneer is fabricated from high quality porcelain to fit over a person’s specific tooth. When a series of veneers are bonded over teeth, it provides the appearance of a straight, proportionate smile.
How Cosmetic Dentistry Changes Lives
In the past, cosmetic dental treatments where primarily used by wealthy people and public figures. Advancements in dental technology, however, have reduced costs so that more people can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful looking smile. Dr. Ake has training and experience to transform even the most flawed teeth into stunning, red carpet-worthy smiles.
