Veneers
With dental veneers, it’s possible to make multiple corrections to your smile at once. The fronts of the teeth that need to be improved are covered by thin sheaths of enamel-colored material, thus hiding all kinds of flaws. Whether you only want to improve a few specific teeth or are looking to enhance your entire smile, veneers can be used to deliver dazzling results! And as long as you are mindful about caring for them, you can expect your veneers to stay in your mouth for many years.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Oral health should always come before appearances, but luckily, metal-free dental restorations give us a way to help with both. Our practice offers EMAX, zirconia, and porcelain dental crowns that can be personalized to resemble your natural teeth. These types of crowns give you a way to repair damaged or weakened teeth without making it obvious that you have a dental restoration. When you need a dental crown for a tooth that people can see when you smile, be sure to ask about our metal-free options.
Direct Bonding
Like veneers, direct bonding is a versatile cosmetic dentistry procedure that can be used to correct all kinds of flaws, including misshapen teeth and small chips in your enamel. However, you will often need to schedule two appointments to have veneers placed; direct bonding, on the other hand, typically only requires one visit. During the treatment, the imperfections on your smile will be covered with expertly shaded and molded composite resin, resulting in a grin you can be proud of.
Teeth Whitening
Many people find that their teeth are duller than they would like, especially if they have a tendency to drink coffee and other dark-colored beverages on a daily basis. Professional teeth whitening can leave your grin looking several shades brighter, which can do wonders for your confidence when it’s time to smile for the camera. At our office, you can choose between a convenient, personalized take-home whitening kit or a quick, effective in-office whitening treatment.
Smile Makeovers
If you only want to make one kind of change to your smile, you may only need a single type of cosmetic dentistry treatment. But when you have multiple improvements in mind, a smile makeover could be your best option. Step one is to meet with our team to discuss your goals. We will then work with you to create a personalized makeover plan. After that, all that’s left is to carry out the plan so that you can enjoy a gleaming new smile!
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
When performed by someone who knows what they’re doing, cosmetic dentistry is incredibly safe. We’ll be sure to carefully prepare you for any cosmetic treatment you’re ready to undergo, minimizing the risk of any complications.
Many times, this involves treating any outstanding oral health problems you may have, like cavities or gum disease. These conditions could potentially cause difficulties when pursuing cosmetic care, so dealing with them is paramount to the safety and success of the treatment.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
How long you can expect your dental care to last depends on a few factors. The first, of course, is which cosmetic treatment you pursue. The results from quicker and easier treatments, like direct bonding, tend to fade faster than the results from veneers or orthodontics.
The quality of your dental hygiene is also critically important, so if you want to make the results of your cosmetic care last as long as possible you should brush, floss, and use mouthwash diligently.
How Do I Choose a Cosmetic Dentist?
Unlike some other fields of dentistry, like pediatrics or orthodontics, dentists don’t need special qualifications in order to practice cosmetic dentistry. Anyone who offers any kind of cosmetic treatment can technically claim to be a cosmetic dentist, though that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re someone you should trust to help you.
When picking a cosmetic dentist, you should closely check their qualifications for specialized training and advanced education in the field. Dr. Lim, for example, has studied aesthetic care at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, which demonstrates his dedication to and expertise in the field.
What Should I Expect at an Initial Consultation for a Smile Makeover?
When you visit us to talk about a smile makeover, we’ll perform a thorough examination of your teeth in order to determine what treatments would be ideal for you. We’ll talk to you about what kind of smile you’re looking for and what it will take to help you achieve those goals.
We’ll also create impressions of your smile that will allow us to model what it’ll look like once the treatments are complete, giving you a better sense of what to expect. This will help you to select the best procedures for you and get you excited for the beautiful smile to come.
