Cosmetic Dentistry

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Not only does a bright, beautiful smile improve your physical appearance, it can also improve the clarity of your speech. Unfortunately, not everyone has the perfect smile they deserve. However, through cosmetic dentistry, we can help you achieve the perfect smile for you through enhancing the appearance of your teeth and gums.

The most common cosmetic dental procedures in Southern Oaks Dental Care include:

Teeth Whitening

Consuming drinks and foods like coffee, tea, chocolate, red wine and tobacco frequently can lead to your teeth becoming discolored. If this has happened to you, we can help! With treatments ranging from take home kits to in office bleaching, we can restore your teeth to their pure white color. When compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, teeth whitening is a less costly solution.

Tooth Orthodontic Accessories

Most dental patients agree that correctly aligned teeth give the most presentable appearance. There are many orthodontic appliances designed to correct alignment issues, Invisalign is one of the most popular choices available. Invisalign is a treatment which uses a series of clear plastic aligners which gently correct crooked teeth over a number of weeks or months. One of the most attractive features of this treatment is that the aligners are barely noticeable throughout the treatment period.

Dental Veneers

Dental Veneers can hide imperfections in your teeth by covering the teeth in a very thin, durable ceramic shell which are custom made for each individual. Imperfections such as gaps, chips, stains or minor alignment issues can be fixed with porcelain veneers. Veneers can also be a perfect solution for patients with worn teeth which can lead to an aged appearance. For most patients using porcelain veneers requires little to no tooth preparation.

Dental Implants

In cases where a patient has lost teeth, a dental implant can be placed to fill the space left by the missing tooth and restore a natural looking smile and tooth function. As a long term solution for missing teeth, dental implants are one of the best treatment options. Dental implant procedures should only be performed by a professional oral surgeon.

Other Treatments

While the above treatments are the most popular we provide at Southern Oaks Dental Care, we offer a number of other cosmetic dental procedures including braces and bonding. When considering cosmetic dentistry treatments, it is important to consider color and opacity of your teeth, the materials used for your treatment of choice and what your desired final appearance is.
