Like your Reflection Again

If you are tired of your reflection in the mirror because of your smile, it’s time to schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dentist. Scheduling a complimentary cosmetic dentistry evaluation will help your dentist determine what dental cosmetic procedures would be best for your particular needs whether you require a simple in office tooth whitening treatment, or something more permanent such as dental veneers or invisible braces.

When you schedule a comprehensive dental examination with your dentist your past and present medical history will be discussed before your dentist conducts a thorough checkup that will include an oral cancer screening, gum evaluation and a cleaning. If you have any cavities, your dentist may decide to fill them during your checkup or schedule an additional appointment to take care of the decay if a large filling and root canal therapy is required.

After your oral examination and dental checkup your dentist will discuss what types of cosmetic dental procedures would be best for your situation while asking you questions regarding your perception of the perfect smile. Dental veneers, dental implants, dental bonding, inlays, onlays, invisible braces, bridges, or crowns may be recommended to improve your smile. Sometimes all that may be needed is a simple tooth whitening procedure, which can take place chair side or at home with custom made home bleaching trays and whitening gel.

If your dentist recommends dental bonding, you will only need one appointment per tooth as this cosmetic and restorative dental procedure is done completely in house and on site in just one visit per tooth or area. 

If more than one dental procedure is required, you and your dentist will discuss payment plans and options along with a treatment schedule. Some procedures may be best before others, while sometimes you can have two or more procedures during the same appointment.

Boost Your Confidence with Invisalign

Your smile can change the way you see yourself, and if your crooked teeth have been lowering your self-esteem, schedule an appointment with your dentist who can determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign.

Invisalign is an amazing dental procedure that does not require wires and brackets, and best of all, depending on your particular case, you could have straighter teeth in as little as six months.

The Invisalign system uses a series of between 11 and 31 clear plastic aligners that are worn between 20 and 22 hours each day. Every two weeks you will replace your existing Invisalign aligners with a new set while your teeth get straighter. On average, you will need to wear your clear plastic aligners from between six and eighteen months.

If your dentist determines that you are a good candidate for Invisalign, x-rays and photographs will be taken so that your new Invisalign aligners can be custom made. Once ready, you will only need to see your dentist once every six weeks to make sure that everything is going according to your Invisalign plan.

Invisalign clear plastic aligners are comfortable and nearly invisible. In fact, the only people who will know that you are wearing Invisalign will be you and your dentist.

Your Invisalign clear plastic aligners are removed when you eat or drink and when you brush and floss. Old school braces are notorious for tooth decay, as they cannot be removed when brushing or flossing. This can cause tooth decay to form, as it is impossible to brush underneath the brackets.

Invisalign is best for teens and adults and truly is the 21^st century approach to a beautiful smile.

If you would like more information regarding Invisalign or any other cosmetic dental procedure including porcelain veneers, dental implants, dental bonding, inlays, onlays, dental contouring or tooth colored fillings, call and schedule an appointment with your dentist who can come up with a Smile Design plan to get you smiling again.
