Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and bite. Some common procedures include teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental implants, and orthodontic treatments.

Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic procedure that can be done in a dentist’s office or at home using a take-home kit. It involves the use of bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth.

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made of porcelain or resin and can be used to fix chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth. They are a popular option for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, disease, or decay.

Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, can be used to straighten and align teeth for a more attractive appearance.

It’s important to note that not all dental insurance plans cover cosmetic dentistry procedures, so it’s important to consult with your dental insurance provider to understand your coverage options.
