Did you know that cosmetic dentistry is more accessible and affordable than it's ever been before? If you've ever thought about enhancing your smile, there has never been a better time to consider your options.
Here's an overview of some of the procedures your cosmetic dentist in Elk Grove can help you with.
#1 Dental Veneers
There are two types of dental veneers to enhance your smile, and both can fix these minor smile concerns:
- Tooth size or shape discrepancies
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Worn teeth
- Spacing between teeth
- Slight tooth misalignment
- Chipped or broken teeth
Composite veneers use the same material used for dental fillings, which is composite resin, to cover teeth and address minor cosmetic concerns. Porcelain veneers use thin layers of ceramic porcelain to cover the surface of a troubled tooth, changing its size, shape, or shade.
Because our dentist removes a small amount of tooth enamel to fit porcelain veneers snugly to your teeth, the procedure is considered permanent. Porcelain veneers are also more costly since a dental lab customizes and handcrafts the restorations for your smile.
#2 Porcelain Crowns
Crowns repair many of the same issues that veneers do; however, a crown completely covers a tooth down to the gumline. This protects the healthy remaining tooth structure and the integrity of the root. A porcelain crown is customized to blend flawlessly into your smile.
#3 Dental Implants
The gold standard in tooth replacement, dental implants restore your root and tooth. They can also replace multiple missing teeth by supporting a dental bridge or denture.
#4 Professional Teeth Whitening
Enhance your smile quickly with professional teeth whitening. Many patients believe that brightening their smile can add years to their appearance.
#5 Clear Braces with Invisalign®
Clear aligners with Invisalign make it simple for busy adults to straighten their teeth without the hassle of wearing traditional braces.
