<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Many people decide to see a cosmetic dentist to enhance their smile before a special event, such as a school dance or a wedding. Cosmetic dental treatments can benefit anyone who wants to improve their smile’s appearance, regardless of the occasion. People with various cosmetic issues, such as crooked, discolored, uneven, cracked teeth, can benefit from seeing a cosmetic dentist.</p>
<p>People with crooked teeth may feel self-conscious about their smile. Fortunately, there are cosmetic procedures that can make teeth straighter and help people smile with confidence. As people get older, their teeth are more likely to stain and become more yellowed. While this discoloration is difficult to remove at home, a cosmetic dentist can lift stains and help teeth appear whiter and brighter. Cosmetic dentists can also help fix uneven teeth that vary in size and make them appear more uniform.</p>

<p>Cracked, crooked, discolored, and uneven teeth can impact people’s confidence and self-esteem. It can influence their success in school and work roles, personal relationships, and mental health. According to one study, people’s perception of their smile’s appearance can remarkably affect their social and psychological well-being which is reflected in their behavior and <a title="Read more about Dental Esthetics and Its Impact on Psycho-Social Well-Being and Dental Self Confidence" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3792334/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Cosmetic-Dentist"> can affect their self-confidence.</a> Cosmetic dental procedures can enhance a person’s appearance and help them smile and live more confidently.</p>
<p>Cosmetic dentistry can also translate into better oral health by addressing decay and overcrowding that hinders the cleaning of teeth and gums. Some procedures can strengthen teeth and protect against further deterioration.

<p>Various procedures are available to choose from depending on the patient’s needs and goals. People interested in receiving cosmetic dental treatment should have a consultation to learn about the available options. Our team will help determine the optimal treatment for each patient. Some common cosmetic dental procedures include:</p>
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Bonding:</b> This treatment uses resin to repair chips and cracks, close gaps, or shape teeth. Bonding is an alternative to metal fillings when the patient wants the repair to be discreet. Once the resin is in place, a special blue light will harden the material.</li>
<li><b>Crowns:</b> Crowns fit over the entire tooth. Filing of the natural tooth must occur to prepare a tooth for a crown. This filing leaves a "post" over which the crown sits when cemented into place.</li>
<li><b>Enamel shaping:</b> Enamel shaping is also known as contouring and is a simple procedure. Polishing tools removes a bit of surface enamel to smooth out chips or unevenness. Shaping is a quick procedure that does not require numbing.</li>
<li><b>Gum reshaping:</b> Gum reshaping is a solution for smiles that show a lot of gum. This procedure involves removing a small portion of gum tissue so more of the tooth is visible. Patients can have this procedure done on one tooth or several.</li>
<li><b>Teeth whitening:</b> Patients have several options for teeth whitening. Teeth whitening can occur in the <a title="Read more about Different Types of Cosmetic Dental Procedures" href="https://www.verywellhealth.com/different-types-of-cosmetic-dental-procedures-1059022" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Cosmetic-Dentist"> dental office or come in the form of custom-made trays.</a> Both professional teeth whitening methods utilize peroxide-based teeth whitening agents to remove tooth discoloration.</li>
<li><b>Veneers:</b> Typically made of porcelain, veneers are thin coverings made to custom-fit over teeth fronts and sides. The placement process involves buffing the teeth before cementing the veneers into place. Veneers improve the appearance of a smile while protecting the tooth's surface from damage.</li>
