Cosmetic Dentistry Specialist

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes all the dental procedures that can help your smile look healthy and beautiful. Cosmetic dentistry procedures can help correct crooked teeth, close gaps between teeth, make teeth look better proportioned, eliminate irregular edges and address surface defects like chips, cracks, and discolorations that can make you feel self-conscious.

What types of procedures are there?

Cosmetic dentistry includes a broad range of procedures, including caps and crowns, veneers and bonding, dental implants, bridges and even tooth whitening. In general, cosmetic dentistry includes any procedures where the primary aim is to help you achieve a more beautiful, more confident smile.

How will Beverly Grove Dentistry decide which treatments are best for me?

Before any cosmetic work is done, you'll have a complete dental exam to identify all the potential issues that could be causing cosmetic issues with your smile. You'll also be able to discuss your own concerns with Beverly Grove Dentistry so they can determine which procedures and treatments you might want to consider. Together, you and Beverly Grove Dentistry will develop a customized plan that will address all your issues so you can feel happy and confident in the results.

Can cosmetic procedures help with other dental issues?

Yes; by ensuring your teeth align and meet properly, you can avoid many serious dental problems including tooth decay, gum disease, and even eventual tooth loss. That's because teeth that are properly spaced are easier to maintain and keep clean, and closing gaps and correcting misalignments leave less space for bacteria to hide and cause decay. Plus, aligning your bite can relieve the pain of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, which can cause jaw pain, headaches, and even loose teeth. Crowns and caps can also help by preventing uneven wear on tooth surfaces which can also lead to decay.
