A person’s smile is a significant part of their appearance. It can make an adult appear more confident than they feel, welcome friends and comfort family, and can break the ice with strangers. Unfortunately, we’re not all born with perfectly aligned, sparkling white, and healthy teeth. However, you don’t have to live with a smile that doesn’t make you feel great. In Denver, North Carolina, Drs. Nathen Ellis and Gary Hubbard offer a full suite of cosmetic dentistry services to help their patients look and feel more confident.
Types of cosmetic dental services
There are many ways a trusted dentist can help you improve your smile, including:
- Teeth whitening: From coffee and red wine to medication and aging, many factors can cause your once sparkling smile to dim. With a professional whitening treatment, you can brighten your teeth by several shades and bring back your confident smile.
- Cosmetic bonding: A tooth that is damaged or broken should be fixed. Not only does it improve the appearance, but it also protects the tooth from further complications. However, metal restorations can bring more attention to the tooth. The Denver Dental Arts team uses cosmetic dental bonding made of tooth-colored resin to fix the damage and return your tooth to its natural appearance.
- Porcelain veneers: When a patient has tooth or teeth imperfections, porcelain veneers can be used to hide the flaws and improve the smile. These thin strips of porcelain are bonded to the front of the teeth and can be used to address issues such as a broken or chipped teeth, minor misalignment, and discoloration.
Benefits of cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry has the obvious benefit of improving your smile, these services also often improve the health of the mouth and a patient’s overall health and wellness. For example:
- Better oral health habits: When you’re proud of something, you’re more likely to take care of it. This is true of our possessions and our mouth and bodies. Many patients find that after they invest in the appearance of their smile, they make better choices to keep it healthy and beautiful. This can include better brushing and flossing habits or choosing to drink water instead of coffee to keep the smile bright.
- Improved dental health: In the field of dentistry, the health of your mouth is often linked to the appearance of your teeth. For example, teeth that are damaged may be weak because of tooth decay. Those damaged or cracked teeth are also susceptible to further damage and even pain. Teeth that are misaligned can create pockets where food particles become stuck and cause decay or damage over time. By addressing these issues, you’re not only improving your appearance, you are also improving your oral health.
