How to Achieve a More Beautiful Smile


Every
dentist in Legacy cares about the health of your teeth. We venture that nearly everyone in Legacy cares about the appearance of their teeth. If there was only a collection of dentists that focused specifically on the beauty and appearance of our pearly whites. As it turns out, there are: Cosmetic dentists prioritize helping you achieve your cosmetic goals. At their very healthiest, what do you wish your teeth could look like? What image and personality would you like to project through your smile. Those are the questions that dentists who focus on cosmetic dentistry in Legacy seek to answer. How do they do it?

What can a cosmetic dentist do?

Cosmetic dental clinics in Legacy offer a veritable menu of services and products to help you to achieve your cosmetic goals. Too many people are sheepish about wanting beautiful teeth in addition to healthy teeth. First, there’s no need to feel sheepish about the appearance of teeth that play such an important role in your confidence and self-esteem that, in turn, play such an important role in your personal, social and professional success and achievements. There are five particularly common cosmetic dentistry procedures offered by a cosmetic dentist in Legacy: bonding, veneers, whitening, implants, and Invisalign.

Dental bonding 

One of the least expensive and quickest remedies for decayed, cracked, chipped, or worn teeth are called dental bonding. Dentists remove decayed areas of the tooth, then fill the area left behind with a composite of materials that closely resembles your original enamel. The procedure works in the same way as getting a filling, except you won’t end up with flashes of silver in your smile. The composite materials will be shaped to fit your tooth and smile, then bonded to your natural teeth with a special light.

Veneers

Veneers are shells made from ceramic or porcelain material and custom-fit to your teeth and to match the shape and colour of the other teeth in your jaw. Veneers are a realistic-looking cosmetic solution that can change the apparent width, length, shape, size, texture and colour of otherwise healthy teeth. Veneers are attached permanently to your teeth using specialized dental cement and, if well-maintained, will last a decade or more before they need to be replaced. 

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is the most common type of cosmetic dentistry near you. Sure, you can do it yourself using rinses, mouthwashes or gums from the grocery store, but you don’t have to. For the most dramatic results much more quickly, safely and comfortably — at an admittedly greater cost — have your teeth whitened by a dentist near you. Do you want all the benefits of professional teeth whitening in the comfort of your own home? If chairside whitening at a 60- or 90-minute appointment isn’t your ideal scenario, dentists can provide you with customized trays of bleaching products to use at home safely after assessing your teeth and stains. Either way, professional whitening provides the best results that you can achieve the fastest and that will last the longest. It’s win-win-win.

Implants

Dental implants may not seem at first blush like a cosmetic dentistry treatment, but tooth loss does more than undermine dental function. It also seriously undermines people’s confidence. Dental implants that replace the roots of missing teeth make it possible for dentists to replace missing teeth with crowns, bridges and even dentures in a way that completely replaces the function and appearance of natural and healthy teeth. Implants using specialized titanium materials bond to your jaw as if they were natural tissue and even stimulate new and healthy bone growth. 

Invisalign 

What if you have all your teeth and are satisfied with their colour (or have had them whitened), but you can’t stand their crookedness or gaps. Cosmetic dentists can help you to achieve straighter and evenly spaced teeth, too — even if you don’t want to wear braces. Invisalign uses clear and removable — yes, you read that correctly — aligners that you can remove to brush your teeth and to eat and that will straighten your teeth faster and more comfortably than traditional braces. And all in a discrete and subtle way. Do you need to keep the fact that you’re having your teeth straightened? Of course not! It’s nothing to be ashamed of. But, with Invisalign, you can if you want to.
