Common Cosmetic Dental Treatments include:
- Whitening, or “tooth bleaching” treatment, is the most common cosmetic dental procedure. While many teeth whitening options are available, dentist – supervised whitening treatments are recommended for lightening or whitening discolored teeth.
- Enamel shaping removes parts of the contouring enamel, improving the appearance of the tooth. It may be used to correct a small tooth chip. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, recontouring, reshaping, slenderizing and stripping.
- Bonding is an option for chipped or cracked teeth. An enamel-like dental composite material is applied to a tooth’s surface, sculpted into shape, hardened and then polished, giving you a beautiful smile.
- Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made laminates affixed directly to the teeth. Veneer application is an increasingly popular procedure in dentistry. Veneers are used for closing gaps between teeth or disguising discolored teeth that did not respond to tooth-whitening procedures.
