What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a subspecialty of dentistry that’s aimed at improving the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Your cosmetic dentist at Presidential Dental Group works with you to devise a treatment plan composed of various procedures that enhance the radiance of your smile, including:
- Veneers
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Dental implants
Cosmetic dentistry combines the medical aspects of general dentistry with an artist’s touch. Your cosmetic dentist will help you design your dream smile so that it best enhances and compliments the shape of your face, the color of your skin and hair, and many other aesthetic factors.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped coverings that are permanently sealed to the front-facing portion of your visible teeth, correcting many different types of cosmetic imperfections, such as:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Dull or discolored teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth with gaps between them
Your dentist at Presidential Dental Group uses facial analysis to help you determine the best design for your veneers, giving you a cosmetic solution that takes into account the precise colors and contours of your face in order to give you the most aesthetically pleasing smile possible.
What’s a crown?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that’s permanently affixed to the top portion of your existing tooth’s root structure. They’re an excellent solution for replacing the top portion of a tooth that has:
- Lost a lot of substance due to a large filling
- Been significantly damaged from physical trauma or decay
- Been severely misshapen
Replacing a damaged or unsightly tooth with a crown fills out your smile, making it not only look better, but function better as well!
What’s a bridge?
A bridge is a prosthetic device that replaces a tooth that’s entirely missing. It’s composed of a pontic (the artificial tooth) that’s attached to one or two crowns on either side, and literally “bridges” the gap left in your smile left by a missing tooth. The cosmetic dental experts at Presidential Dental Group use bridges to fill in any holes in your smile, giving you a complete and good-looking set of teeth.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are tiny titanium posts that are implanted into your jawbone and serve as artificial tooth roots. Dental implants actually fuse to your jawbone, providing an incredibly strong and sturdy foundation on top of which your cosmetic dentist at Presidential Dental Group can affix a crown, bridge, or dentures. The end result is a tooth replacement that looks and feels incredibly natural, giving you a healthy smile that’s whole again!
