Do you like how your teeth and gums look? A beautiful smile gives you confidence and helps you make a great first impression. Your smile takes blows over the years, which Orange Coast Dental Specialty can help address with one or a combination of smile makeover treatments. The smile makeover Huntington Beach treatments vary based on your dental condition, such as minor imperfections or significant tooth or gum damage. Among the most popular smile makeover treatments includes:
Teeth whitening
Teeth staining or discoloration is among the most common smile imperfection and can be caused by stain buildup or dental problems. Teeth whitening is the simplest smile makeover treatment. The process usually entails professional cleaning to eliminate tartar and teeth whitening agent application. Professional cleaning helps eliminate plaque that has hardened into tartar which your oral hygiene efforts may fail to remove. This helps you freshen up your smile since tartar could cause bad breath. Unlike a DIY which takes days to deliver, you will leave the dentist’s office with cleaner, healthier, and whiter teeth, allowing you to smile and showcase your sparkling teeth broadly.
Dental crowns
Dental crowns offer an effective solution when dealing with considerable discoloration due to tooth decay, or your tooth has taken significant damage. The crowns are placed over the tooth, fitting much like a cap. This conceals the mile imperfection and restores more natural-looking teeth. Besides smile improvement, dental crowns also protect your tooth from further damage and can help address symptoms like pain and sensitivity.
Cosmetic gum surgery
Uneven gums can make your teeth appear slightly crooked. Your smile could also appear small, which does not imply an issue with teeth size. In other cases, you could be dealing with gum recession that makes your teeth appear longer. Gum recontouring helps eliminate excess gum tissue and even your gum line for a symmetrical and youthful smile. Gum surgery is often combined with other smile makeovers, mainly crowns, veneers, or bonding.
Dental veneers
Dental veneers are bonded to your teeth, which conceals various concerns like stained, cracked, chipped, uneven, or misaligned teeth. Dental veneers entail shaving off enamel to create more space for the veneers to bond strongly with your teeth. Veneers are stain-resistant, robust, and a discrete solution for your smile flaws. Besides masking the flaws, veneers help improve your oral function, like chewing and care measures, since brushing is easier when you have no gaps between teeth.
Dental bonding
Dental bonding entails the application of tooth-colored resin. Dental bonding addresses smile imperfections, including gapped, misshapen, cracked, chipped, stained, or discolored teeth. Dental bonding closely matches veneers. The main difference is that dental bonding does not require significant enamel removal, and it is reversible.
Cosmetic dentistry does more than improve your smile since the treatments also help improve your oral health and function. The best part is that most treatments can be combined for optimal results. A bright and healthy smile can improve the quality of your life, including enhancing self-esteem and mitigating oral and overall health risks.
