When you look in the mirror or view pictures of yourself, do you feel that you are sporting a beautiful smile? It’s wonderful to accept yourself as you are. We are all flawed. However, extreme physical issues are not just aesthetically jarring, but sometimes lead to other health issues. In terms of your dental health, overlaps in your teeth (for example) can make it hard for you to institute truly complete oral hygiene. A combination of various procedures is often the best way to meet all of your needs regarding the physical shape of your teeth. Pella cosmetic dentist, Dr. Jeffrey Allen, can then provide you with a smile which is both healthy and beautiful.
The Simplest Cosmetic Procedures
Dental bonding closes the gaps between teeth, covers up small chips or fractures, and can even lengthen small or misshapen teeth. Composite resin is the same material used for dental fillings. Applied directly to the surface of your smile, bonding is simple and fast. Another quick, but highly effective, cosmetic procedure is professional teeth whitening: Teeth-whitening shaves years off of your appearance with 8-10 shades of whitening in as fast as an hour in the office.
Porcelain Veneers
Dr. Allen is an experienced and trained cosmetic dentist with a long list of highly affective restorative and cosmetic dental treatments under his belt. Porcelain veneers serve a cosmetic purpose by repairing the look of chipped, stained, crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth. Once all of your necessary restorative work is complete and you have a clean bill of dental health, porcelain veneers are a great option to cover over a wide variety of physical imperfections on your smile. Custom-made porcelain shells adhere directly to existing teeth. The placement of porcelain veneers usually requires only two appointments. During the first appointment, impressions and measurements are taken and teeth are shaped to provide a good structure for veneers. Veneers are bonded to the teeth and should last for several decades if you care for them properly.
