The world of cosmetic dentistry provides countless opportunities for improving your smile’s appearance. At Canyon Crossing Dental in Ivins, Utah, we offer various cosmetic dental services to upgrade your smile’s esthetics. Through cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Susan Baker can address problems with crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, stained and misshapen teeth, damaged teeth, missing teeth, and more.
If you’re considering cosmetic dental services to improve the quality of your smile, here are some cosmetic dentistry options worth exploring:
Teeth whitening is the process of bleaching your teeth to give your smile a whiter, brighter appearance. It’s one of the safest, most effective means of dealing with stained, discolored, or dull teeth to improve your smile’s esthetics. In-office whitening treatments are quick and easy and will brighten your smile in one dental visit. You can also brighten your smile gradually using a custom tooth whitening kit.
Stains and discolorations that don’t respond well to bleaching can be erased with veneers. Veneers are ultra-thin, porcelain shells that conceal imperfections in your teeth to give your smile a flawless appearance. Dr. Baker can use veneers to remedy problems with chipped, cracked, stained, gapped, misshapen, and slightly crooked teeth to improve your smile’s symmetry, balance, and esthetics.
Crowns are restorations that completely cover your teeth, restoring their shape, color, and structure. Dental crowns serve both restorative and cosmetic purposes. They help repair damaged and decayed teeth to restore their structure and salvage their usefulness. Dr. Baker can also cover misshapen and odd-sized teeth with cosmetic crowns to give your smile a uniform, pleasing appearance.
Bonding works similarly to veneers in erasing tooth flaws to improve your smile’s esthetics. In place of porcelain shells, Dr. Baker applies a tooth-colored resin mixture to your teeth to conceal the flaws you find displeasing. This mixture is molded to the shape of your teeth and hardened in place with UV lighting. Afterward, we’ll polish your teeth to make your smile smooth and unblemished.
Crooked, overlapping, and crowded teeth are an eyesore and can also impair healthy chewing. Orthodontics can correct these issues and more. Whether you choose traditional braces or clear aligners to straighten your teeth, you can look forward to a healthy, picture-perfect smile by the end of your treatment.
Lost teeth can be replaced with implants to restore your smile’s health, function, and beauty. Implants remedy problems with missing teeth permanently, making your fragmented smile whole and healthy again.
Gum contouring can be used to correct a “gummy” smile, where more gums show than teeth when you smile. Dr. Baker will reshape your gum line so equal proportions of teeth and gum show when you smile, so your grin appears more balanced and even.
