What are the veneers that you use?
A question that we typically get is, what are veneers and who are they best suited for? A veneer is a porcelain that goes on the front of your tooth. It only covers a part of your tooth, just the front part that you can see, and it is bonded to your tooth permanently. It is best suited for people who have very small chips in their teeth or a little discoloration. It really is suited for patients who have minimal small changes that need to be done.
What options do I have for teeth whitening?
There are a couple of options. One is an in-office whitening treatment, and another one is a take-home whitening treatment. In both cases, we use a whitening gel that creates whiter teeth, and it just depends on which one you would like.
What is a smile makeover?
Another question we typically get is, what is a smile makeover and what treatments are included? A smile makeover is anything that we do, any kind of changes we do to your teeth to enhance your smile. That could be different depending on what you have, depending on how many teeth you have, how healthy your teeth are. There are different types of things that can be done. You can change your smile with veneers, crowns, dentures, implants. There are lots of options, but everything is very customized based on what the patient's desired goal is.
How do you choose the right cosmetic dentist?
Another question we get is, how do I choose the right cosmetic dentist? Really, the best way to do it is to research and look up online. There are a lot of offices that post, that have reviews, that have before and after photos. Those are really going to be a good way for you to see what results are possible.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Another question we get is, what is the difference between veneers and crowns? The biggest difference is that a veneer only covers the front part of the tooth. The crown goes all the way around the tooth. It depends on different situations, whether you need veneers or crowns, depending on the tooth structure you have that we have to work with. Those would be the choices, or that would be the difference between the two.
A smile can be the most eye-catching and dramatic feature of your face. With the advances in cosmetic dentistry today, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or poorly shaped or crooked teeth. You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence. Even the smallest and most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way you look and feel about yourself.
The doctor can talk to you about the cosmetic dentistry options most suitable for you, what your expectations are and how to achieve that look.
