conditions discreetly and comfortably. This treatment is a popular alternative to traditional braces. ClearCorrect® braces are a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment that uses sets of aligners to correct misaligned teeth.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">ClearCorrect braces are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. We use this treatment to help patients who want to straighten their smiles but prefer not to have metal braces. Many patients may consider this option because it is both effective and almost invisible.</p>\n<p>Orthodontic malocclusions are more than just aesthetic issues; they can harm your oral health. Correcting them subtly with ClearCorrect braces may be a great option for you.

Children are typically not as suitable for the treatment because their mouths are still growing. Teeth that are in the earlier stages of development make the process of creating the aligner much more complex, reducing the likelihood of having positive final results.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the candidates who achieve more successful results usually have mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Patients who have severe crowding, underbites, overbites, or crossbites may need more aggressive treatment. In these cases, we may recommend another treatment followed by ClearCorrect braces.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 clearcorrect-braces v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"clearcorrect-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about candidates for clearcorrect braces\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"According to WebMD, invisible aligners like ClearCorrect braces are an option for many adults and teens.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 clearcorrect-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"clearcorrect-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about how clearcorrect braces work\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"clearcorrect-braces-work\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How ClearCorrect Braces Work</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>ClearCorrect braces work similarly to systems like Invisalign® as an alternative to traditional braces. They gently push on the teeth to move them a little at a time. The treatment consists of a series of aligners that progressively get closer to the planned result. Depending on the severity of necessary treatment, a patient may require only one or two aligners or may need several over a multi-month period.</p>\n<p>To create the aligners, the dentist takes measurements of the mouth and creates a 3D model. This model guides the design process of clear aligners. The aligners are then created and given to the patient, typically in sets of two or more.

University Dental Associates recommends them to patients in need of teeth straightening who are appropriate candidates and who want to enjoy a more discreet treatment option. These are a few benefits of these aligners:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Subtle.</b> ClearCorrect braces are a subtle alternative to traditional braces. They consist of crack- and stain-resistant, clear plastic, rendering them almost completely invisible when in place.</li>\n<li><b>Effective.</b> <a title=\"Read more about Treatments like ClearCorrect braces\" href=\"https://docgeni.us/0hp8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-ClearCorrect-Braces\">Treatments like ClearCorrect braces</a> are typically effective at realigning teeth. They are most effective when the patient carefully follows the dentist’s instructions. It may also be necessary to wear a retainer after treatment to ensure the permanence of the results.</li>\n<li><b>Boost Confidence.</b> Changing one’s smile can change the way they live. Many people suffer from low self-esteem related to crooked teeth. ClearCorrect braces can be an effective way to overcome insecurities based on orthodontic issues.</li>\n<li><b>Support Oral Health.</b> Misaligned teeth can be harmful to oral health. Patients with misaligned teeth are more likely to have dental problems and a strained mandible area. For many patients, correcting misalignments with ClearCorrect braces may lead to a healthier mouth.</li>\n<li><b>Removable.</b> Although patients should keep their ClearCorrect braces in as instructed, they are removable. You may remove the trays when eating or drinking certain fluids for extra comfort, making dental hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 clearcorrect-braces v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"clearcorrect-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the benefits of clearcorrect braces\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"University Dental Associates recommends them to patients in need of teeth straightening who are appropriate candidates and who want to enjoy a discreet treatment option.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 clearcorrect-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"clearcorrect-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our ClearCorrect Braces services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"clearcorrect-braces-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for ClearCorrect Braces in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-ClearCorrect-Braces\">ClearCorrect Braces in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS clearcorrect-braces v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"clearcorrect-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what you need to know about invisible aligners\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"cons-of-invisible-aligners\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What You Need to Know About Invisible Aligners</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>While there are plenty of reasons to choose invisible aligners, you should know that there are a few lifestyle changes and factors you may need to make for them to be at their most effective.

Liquids can get between the aligners and the teeth. Any acidic or sugary drinks such as coffee, soda, and alcohol can cause cavities and weakened enamel.</li>\n<li><b>The Temptation to Remove.</b> Many patients love that these aligners are removable. Still, the aligners cannot work if they are not in the mouth most of the time. Taking them out for too long may disrupt the treatment process.</li>\n<li><b>Cost.</b> Compared to traditional braces, invisible aligners may be more expensive.

In some cases, there are also glass particles mixed with the plastic. Although mostly used for treating cavities, a composite filling can also improve a tooth’s cosmetic appearance, such as reshaping a tooth.</p>\n<p>Other common types of fillings include gold, porcelain, and silver amalgam. Compared to composite fillings, metal fillings are significantly more visible in the mouth. While porcelain fillings are closer to the surrounding teeth in color, they can be quite costly.

According to one <a title=\"Read more about Dental Caries (Tooth Decay) in Adults (Age 20 to 64)\" href=\"https://www.nidcr.nih.gov/research/data-statistics/dental-caries/adults\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Composite-Fillings\">National Institute of Health survey</a>, 92% of adults between ages 20 and 64 have tooth decay. There are various benefits of composite fillings, including:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Fix Decay and Other Issues:</b> Composite fillings primarily fix tooth decay. They can also fix cracks, chips, and tooth wear. This helps to restore a tooth’s function and health.</li>\n<li><b>Subtle Aesthetics:</b> Compared to other filling types, composite fillings are very subtle. Our dentist can color match the filling to the surrounding teeth. Many patients prefer this natural appearance.</li>\n<li><b>Strong Bonding to Teeth:</b> Composite fillings bond well with the treated tooth. It can help to strengthen and support the remaining natural tooth. This filling provides support to prevent or slow the worsening of further tooth damage.</li>\n<li><b>Minimal Drilling Needed:</b> Relative to other filling types, especially silver amalgam, composite filling requires little drilling. These fillings can fit into small cavity spaces. This results in patients keeping more of their natural teeth.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 composite-fillings v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"composite-fillings v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of composite tooth fillings\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"According to one National Institute of Health survey, 92% of adults between ages 20 and 64 have tooth decay.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 composite-fillings v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"composite-fillings v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about other types of fillings\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"disadvantages-of-composite-fillings\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Other Types of Fillings</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Although composite fillings are the most popular type of filling, they are not always the right choice for every patient. Some people may have a specific aesthetic preference for a different kind of filling. For example, although tooth-colored fillings are more subtle, some people prefer the appearance of gold fillings. Additionally, gold and porcelain fillings are more durable than composite fillings. They may last 10 or more years longer than composite filling material. Silver amalgam may also last about five years longer than a composite filling.</p>\n<p>According to the <a title=\"Read more about Composite Fillings\" href=\"https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/c/composite-fillings/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Composite-Fillings\">American Dental Association</a>, composite fillings can also take longer to place than other types of fillings.

The most common is tooth decay. Typically, a filling is the least invasive procedure for correcting decay. People who have teeth with cracks, chips, and wear can also choose to have a filling to restore teeth. In some cases, a filling can also fill small holes formed for reasons other than tooth decay. Dentists sometimes offer procedures to correct discoloration or misshapen teeth for cosmetic-only purposes.</p>\n<p>Patients of all ages can have situations that require a filling. However, these situations are less common for children who do not yet have their permanent teeth. According to the previously mentioned National Institute of Health survey, 85% of adults have at least one filling before 34. The probability of needing a filling can also vary significantly depending on oral hygiene practices.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 composite-fillings v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"composite-fillings v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about when a filling is necessary\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Patients of all ages can have situations that require a filling.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 composite-fillings v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"composite-fillings v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Composite Fillings\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

People may want cosmetic dental care for various reasons, from color correction to replacing missing teeth. According to the <a title=\"Read more about Whitening: 5 Things to Know About Getting a Brighter Smile\" href=\"https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/w/whitening\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Cosmetic-Dental-Care\">American Dental Association</a>, teeth discoloration is one of the most common cosmetic complaints, with 90% of patients wishing their teeth were whiter. Cosmetic dentistry can also solve issues like gums covering too much of the teeth surface or misshaped teeth.</p>\n<p>Some cosmetic dentistry forms have been around since <a title=\"Read more about the History of Cosmetic Dentistry\" href=\"http://www.americancosmeticdentistry.org/teeth/history-of-cosmetic-dentistry/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Cosmetic-Dental-Care\">ancient times</a>, but modern technology has led to great improvements in the last few decades. The materials used in treatments today are much more durable and natural-looking. While cosmetic dental care’s primary aim is to improve appearance, treatments can also provide restorative benefits. An example of this is dental fillings, which are considered restorative and cosmetic to a certain extent. Patients can opt to use porcelain or composite filling material to match their teeth color and maintain their natural appearance.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 cosmetic-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding what cosmetic dental care is\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Cosmetic dental care provides elective or desired treatments and services to improve a patient’s smile.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 cosmetic-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about cosmetic dental care options\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"different-types-of-cosmetic-dentistry\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Cosmetic Dental Care Options</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Any type of dental treatment used to improve the teeth’s appearance qualifies as cosmetic dentistry. Dentists often use a combination of cosmetic procedures to help patients achieve their desired results. Some of the different types of cosmetic dentistry treatments are:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Dental implants: This option allows dentists to replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural root. Not only does this enhance cosmetic appearance, but it also improves the functionality of the mouth. Some similar options include bridges and dentures.</li>\n<li>Gum recontouring: Many people have gums that are either receded or overextended. Gum recontouring allows dentists to restructure gums, so they anchor teeth properly without being overly noticeable. This treatment improves the appearance of the smile by properly rationing the gums and teeth.</li>\n<li>Inlays and onlays: Inlays are restorative devices that fit inside cracked teeth to improve their appearance and make them stronger. Onlays cover the top of the tooth and offer the same benefits. These options treat cracked or chipped teeth located at the back of the mouth.</li>\n<li>Teeth whitening: While there are several procedures available for whitening teeth, the <a title=\"Read more about Cosmetic treatment\" href=\"https://www.dentalhealth.org/cosmetic-treatment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Cosmetic-Dental-Care\">Oral Health Foundation</a> states that professional bleaching is the most common treatment. Dentists use bleaching agents to remove stains caused by foods and beverages, medications, tobacco use, and aging. While this process may not fully restore teeth to their original shade, it can make them several shades lighter.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 cosmetic-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-care v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about cosmetic dental care options\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Any type of dental treatment used to improve the teeth’s appearance qualifies as cosmetic dentistry.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 cosmetic-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<style>\n.info-styling {\nborder-radius: 8px;\nbackground-color: white;\nborder-width: 10px !important;\nborder: solid;\nmargin: 0 auto;\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 1200px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 80%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block info-styling SPIG\"><!—Infographic Group - Cosmetic Dental Care -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Cosmetic dental care infographic: Cosmetic dental care is a field of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the aesthetics of the smile.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/cosmetic-dental-care/#what-is-cosmetic-dental-care\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Cosmetic-Dental-Care\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/what-is-cosmetic-dental-care.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/what-is-cosmetic-dental-care.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/what-is-cosmetic-dental-care.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Cosmetic dental care infographic: Cosmetic dental care is a field of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the aesthetics of the smile.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Cosmetic dental care infographic: In comparison, restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the mouth to its full functionality.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/cosmetic-dental-care/#choose-the-right-treatment\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Cosmetic-Dental-Care\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/cosmetic-restorative-dentistry.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/cosmetic-restorative-dentistry.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/cosmetic-restorative-dentistry.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Cosmetic dental care infographic: In comparison, restorative dentistry focuses on restoring the mouth to its full functionality.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content section-block info-styling --><!-- /Infographic Group - Cosmetic Dental Care -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about choosing the right treatment and cosmetic dentist\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"choose-the-right-treatment\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Choosing the Right Treatment and Cosmetic Dentist</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Patients should carefully research and consider their treatment options.

Some criteria to consider choosing a cosmetic dentist are how long the dentist has been practicing, how extensive the practice is, what dental technologies they use, and previous patient results.</p>\n<p>The initial consultation is important for patients to learn more about the practice and express their needs. This appointment is also an opportunity for the cosmetic dentist to advise which treatment will be the most beneficial and set up realist treatment expectations. The cosmetic dentist will gather information using X-rays and teeth impressions and review the patient’s teeth shape, size, and color.

Using a soft toothbrush and low-abrasive toothpaste, gently brush under, in, and around the implant to clean hard-to-reach areas. We also recommend using an unwaxed tape for flossing or implant-specific floss along with an oral irrigator.</p>\n<p>For gum contouring and teeth whitening treatments, we advise patients to rest and avoid rigorous activity including biting and chewing.

We advise that patients undergoing cosmetic treatments brush their teeth after every meal to ensure their teeth and gums remain clean and healthy. This also helps with healing and prevents tooth decay and tooth loss. We also recommend patients floss and rinse at least once a day to remove tiny food particles and debris.

Unlike general dentistry, this kind of dental work aims to enhance appearance rather than improve functionality or oral health. Most cosmetic dental work is considered elective. Unlike other dental services, cosmetic ones are usually not required for health or medical reasons.</p>\n<p>Although any dentist with a general dentistry degree can provide cosmetic dental services, many take additional education courses. It is important to select a skilled and experienced cosmetic dentist to get the desired results. Looking at patient photos, reviews, and having consultations can be helpful in choosing the right procedure and dentist.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 cosmetic-dental-services v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-services v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding what cosmetic dental services are\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"What are cosmetic dental services?\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 cosmetic-dental-services v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-services v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about smiling with confidence\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"cosmetic-dental-services-improve-confidence\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Smiling With Confidence</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>A smile is one of the first things people see, and it often sets the first impression.

Most cosmetic dental procedures are fairly simple; however, some are more complex and require specialized care. Some of these common cosmetic dental services include:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Bonding:</b> Dental bonding is a cosmetic solution to fix stains, gaps in the teeth, and chipped teeth. Resin is molded and shaped to fit on the teeth, which gives the appearance of a bright, straight smile. It is a quick and minimally invasive procedure.</li>\n<li><b>Dental implants:</b> Implants are a popular method used to replace missing teeth. According to the <a title=\"Read more about What are dental implants?\" href=\"https://www.aaid-implant.org/dental-implants/what-are-dental-implants/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Cosmetic-Dental-Services\"> American Academy of Implant Dentistry</a>, around half a million people receive implants every year. This technique provides a stable foundation for artificial teeth, and it helps prevent bone loss. Implants also look and function in the same way as natural teeth.</li>\n<li><b>Gum recontouring:</b> Sometimes the patient’s problem has to do with the gums as opposed to the teeth. An uneven gum line or excess gum tissue can interfere with the look of a smile. Gum recontouring is a cosmetic procedure that changes the shape and appearance of the gums. Typically, a laser adds or takes away gum tissue.</li>\n<li><b>Inlays and onlays:</b> These treatments help restore the look teeth after damage. Inlays are made from durable material and repair the chewing surfaces of teeth. Onlays cover a larger surface area and are also considered indirect fillings as well as a crown alternative.

Though it is more common to have crooked teeth, having straight teeth is preferred. For this reason, many people seek teeth straightening for purely aesthetic reasons. They just want a straighter smile or one that at least looks straight.</p>\n<p>People who want straight teeth for purely cosmetic reasons may want to consider bonding, veneers, or clear aligners. Bonding has been used for years to alter the shape of teeth to make them appear more straight. Similarly, dental veneers can make a smile appear straight and they tend to last longer. However, veneers are often a more expensive and invasive procedure that can not be reversed. Clear aligners are an increasingly popular option for cosmetic straightening. They change the actual position of teeth through a series of aligners that gradually move the teeth to the desired result.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 cosmetic-dental-services v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-services v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about getting a straighter looking smile\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"According to an article in Scientific American, nearly nine out of 10 people have a smile that is at least slightly misaligned.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 cosmetic-dental-services v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"cosmetic-dental-services v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Cosmetic Dental Services\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Cosmetic dentistry provides options to help improve the look of a patient’s smile. Based on the specific issue and individual patient, the choices vary from minimally invasive to more complex procedures.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are there any health benefits of cosmetic dentistry?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">While cosmetic procedures generally focus on improving aesthetics, some of them also enhance oral health. For example, implants help prevent bone loss and loss of facial structure. Some procedures also reduce the number of bacteria, which results in fewer cavities and decay.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How long do cosmetic dental services take?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The amount of time a cosmetic dental service will take varies on the procedure and the patient. Some procedures can be done in one visit, like teeth whitening, while others may take a series of visits, like dental implants. Some may also require follow-up appointments to ensure the desired results.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can I maintain my procedure results?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Cosmetic dentistry results will be useless without proper maintenance. Good oral hygiene is essential to ensure a healthy mouth and maintain cosmetic results. Proper care includes brushing and flossing, visiting the dentist regularly, and following any special care instructions.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are there any side effects of cosmetic dental services?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Most procedures are minimally invasive and have few side effects.

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>\n<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>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 cosmetic-dentist v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"cosmetic-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about reasons to see a cosmetic dentist\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Cosmetic dental treatments can benefit anyone who wants to improve their smile’s appearance, regardless of the occasion.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 cosmetic-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"cosmetic-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of cosmetic dentistry\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-cosmetic-dentistry\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Cracked, crooked, discolored, and uneven teeth can impact people’s confidence and self-esteem.

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>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<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>\n<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>\n<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>\n<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>\n<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>\n<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>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 cosmetic-dentist v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"cosmetic-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about treatment options\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Various procedures are available to choose from depending on the patient’s needs and goals.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 cosmetic-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"cosmetic-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Cosmetic Dentist services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"cosmetic-dentist-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Cosmetic Dentist in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Cosmetic-Dentist\">Cosmetic Dentist in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS cosmetic-dentist v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"cosmetic-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preparing for a visit\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"prepare-for-a-visit\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preparing for a Visit</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Before taking the next step to a more beautiful smile, people must prioritize their oral health.

People with dental anxiety are aware that their fear is irrational, but have little to no means of managing it. They may be so panic-stricken by the prospect of seeing the dentist that they will only go when forced by extreme pain. Other common signs of dental anxiety include:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Escalating feelings of nervousness in a dentist\'s waiting room</li>\n<li>Feelings of intense unease at the thought of a dentist placing objects in the mouth during treatment</li>\n<li>Physical reactions at the thought of visiting the dentist</li>\n<li>Trouble sleeping the night before a dental appointment</li>\n</ul>\n<p>At times, dental anxiety may get severe enough to be considered pathological.

A multitude of factors may contribute to someone\'s unease at the prospect of being in the dentist\'s chair, including but not limited to fear of anesthesia, fear of injections, fear of pain, feelings of embarrassment, and feelings of helplessness.</p>\n<p>All of the above are valid reasons to be anxious. Still, they do not have to overtake a patient\'s dental experience. Patients should be open and honest with their dentist about their anxieties, as this is the first step to phobia management.

The bonding process involves the adhesion of composite resin, a durable plastic material, to the tooth’s surface. The tooth-colored resin ultimately bonds to the tooth to improve its overall appearance.</p>\n<p>This procedure is helpful for people with chipped, cracked, decayed, or discolored teeth. The composite resin used in dental bonding is pliable, allowing our dentist to customize and mold it into the proper shape or size. Our dentist can also color match the composite resin to closely match it to the natural color of the patient’s teeth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 dental-bonding v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"dental-bonding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding dental bonding\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The bonding process involves the adhesion of composite resin, a durable plastic material, to the tooth’s surface.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 dental-bonding v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"dental-bonding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about candidates for dental bonding\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"right-patient-for-dental-bonding\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Candidates for Dental Bonding</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Patients with aesthetic dental problems are the best candidates for dental bonding. Dental bonding is ideal for cosmetic dental issues that do not require major restorative work.

Teeth should also have roots that are in good condition and most of their enamel intact.</p>\n<p>Dental bonding can help fix various dental issues, including:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Abnormally sized teeth</li>\n<li>Discolored teeth</li>\n<li>Exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums</li>\n<li>Minor cracks or chips</li>\n<li>Misshapen teeth</li>\n<li>Small gaps in teeth</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 dental-bonding v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"dental-bonding v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about candidates for dental bonding\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental bonding is ideal for cosmetic dental issues that do not require major restorative work.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 dental-bonding v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"dental-bonding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about dental bonding benefits\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-dental-bonding\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Dental Bonding Benefits</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Dental bonding is a good option for restoring teeth since it is a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure allows patients to keep as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. During the application process, our dentist removes very little to no enamel at all. Minimal work to the enamel allows patients to maintain the natural health and structure of their teeth.</p>\n<p>This quick treatment produces high-quality results that appear natural. The composite resin is durable but adaptable and can be adjusted by our doctor in the future after treatment.

Our dentist will select a composite resin color that matches the patient’s tooth color before the dental bonding process. If a patient’s tooth requires drilling to change its shape or damage near a nerve, our dentist may apply a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. During the procedure, the tooth surface is roughened and given a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere to the tooth.</p>\n<p>Our dentist will then apply, mold, and smooth the resin into the desired shape before hardening the material with a light or laser. Once the resin hardens, it is trimmed, shaped, and polished to match the tooth’s surface.

The porcelain material of veneers is more stain-resistant and durable than the resin of dental bonding.
