The Best Cosmetic Dental Treatments For 2024
Embarking on a journey to enhance your smile in 2024 is not just a cosmetic choice; it’s an investment in your overall well-being. From professional whitening techniques to cutting-edge innovations in orthodontics and porcelain veneers, this comprehensive guide will navigate you through the latest advancements in cosmetic dental treatments, ensuring that your smile becomes a beacon of confidence and radiance in the coming year. Join us in uncovering the key trends and considerations for achieving your best smile in the year ahead.
Porcelain Crowns To Protect And Restore
Dental crowns are natural-looking restorations that fit over the entire tooth, providing a durable, long-lasting smile that enhances your natural appearance. These restorations restore the size, strength, and appearance of a tooth that’s suffered damage from severe decay or traumatic injury. Crowns are used to help protect cracked or weakened teeth from decay, cover up heavily discolored teeth that can’t be treated with tooth whitening, and can also be used to assist in other treatments such as bridges and implants. They protect your smile substantially by guarding the inner dentin and pulp against outside bacteria and trauma.
Tooth-Colored Fillings To Replace Metal
If you have a cavity or a broken tooth, you will definitely need to get a dental filling. When you need to repair a cracked, fractured, or decaying tooth, one beneficial option is to get a tooth-colored filling (composite filling). The advantage of getting a tooth-colored filling is that the composite resin is less hazardous and more cosmetically appealing than traditional metal ones. Today’s composite tooth colored fillings are strong, resilient, and durable enough to apply to most small or medium size cavities. This means that you are choosing materials that are beneficial to both your oral health and the beauty of your smile.
Dental Implants For Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can be a source of social anxiety, as well as reduce your ability to enjoy the foods that you love. Dental implants are long-lasting, replacement teeth that look as good, feel as good, and function as well as natural teeth and allow patients to speak and eat normally. The dental implant body is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone where you have lost teeth. The bone heals by bonding to the implant, similar to the way your natural tooth root does. After healing, the dental implant is topped with an attractive and functional dental crown. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or full arches.
Invisalign® To Straighten Smiles
Previously, if you had any misshapen or misaligned teeth your sole option was to get metal braces. With Invisalign®, our patients are able to get the same orthodontic results with less discomfort and a more aesthetically appealing presence. Invisalign® is an ideal alternative to traditional metal braces with a multitude of benefits. Invisalign® treatment is a modern cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses a series of custom-fitted corrective trays to straighten your smile discreetly and rapidly. You start with one size of comfortable plastic retainer and then every four to six weeks you will get an updated tray to promote further correction. If you are someone who has some minor spacing issues or moderately and mildly crowded teeth, then a clear orthodontic aligner system like Invisalign® may be the ideal solution.
A Brighter Smile With Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic service that lighten and brightens teeth. The teeth whitening process removes discoloration or stains from drinks, food, tobacco, or medications. Professional teeth whitening can whiten teeth several shades lighter. Our whitening system is an accelerated whitening system that produces quick results, and does not damage the teeth or gums. Most patients see results immediately after treatment.
Veneers To Reinvigorate Your Smile
Veneers are wafer-thin dental ceramic shells bonded securely over the surface of your existing teeth. With the way their semi-translucent material catches the light, your porcelain veneers closely resemble your natural tooth enamel. Veneers are custom made, including size, shape, and color and can be used to restore broken, stained or minimally decayed teeth. Porcelain veneers are often the treatment of choice for those who desire a beautiful new smile.
A Complete Makeover With Smile Design
Smile design is a cosmetic dental procedure to improve the aesthetics and restore function by developing harmonious, beautiful smiles. Throughout a smile design session, Dr. Roher will evaluate your smile by looking at tooth form, gingival level, and other mouth contours using specialized design tools. These tools help monitor signs of uneven structures, tooth discrepancies, and other irregularities. Once noted, a preliminary design is created using acrylic resin, allowing the patient to judge the look and feel of the new smile. Our smile design services help patients with misaligned, gapped teeth and transform their smile into a more aesthetically pleasing one. These sessions help address smile symmetry, tooth coloration, and other cosmetic concerns to restore the mouth to health.
