When you have issues with the appearance of your smile, then you need cosmetic dentistry. These are treatments designed to address concerns with the shape and color of your teeth, and can offer results that blend with your smile. In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about how we correct the beauty of your smile with our cosmetic treatment options.
Starting with Your Cosmetic Consultation
When you have concerns with your smile that you want to see addressed, you start by scheduling a consultation with our team. We will take a close look at your teeth and gums with advanced diagnostic technology, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. This will allow us to choose the right cosmetic dental procedure for you. We could also use several to complete a smile makeover, transforming your smile. Each treatment can be personalized for your smile to correct imperfections and offer stunning results. Some can be completed in as little as one visit! If you want to see what cosmetic dentistry can do for your smile, please contact our team to talk about possible solutions.
Teeth Whitening At-Home and In-Office
Cosmetic dentistry includes professional teeth whitening, which offers results that are more dramatic and longer-lasting than what is possible with store-bought strips and toothpastes. We will assess the cause and extent of your discoloration to choose the right option for you. If you need results quickly before a big event, we can offer treatment in one visit with our in-office teeth whitening treatment. The process involves applying a protective covering to your lips and gums, and placing a powerful bleaching gel onto the teeth. We then activate the gel with a light, breaking up and removing stains in as little as one hour.
If you have more severe staining, we have an in-office option that can brighten your smile by as many as eight shades. You stop by the office long enough for us to create a set of custom plastic trays, which fit over your teeth. We send these trays home with you, along with a powerful bleaching gel. At home, you add the gel to the trays and wear them for about an hour a day on average, over the course of one to two weeks. The trays ensure the results are even across your smile, and protect your gums from exposure. This also prevents saliva from diluting the results. The trays and leftover gel can be used for touch-ups in the months to come.
Porcelain Veneers
For many people, porcelain veneers offer a complete smile makeover. These are very thin shells of porcelain that cover the front and sides of the teeth, instantly reshaping and transforming the appearance of your smile. We will custom-make them for your smile so they fit comfortably and offer a balanced bite and an attractive appearance. We begin by removing a thin layer of enamel and taking detailed images and measurements, which we use in a lab setting to design and craft your veneers. We then attach them with a powerful bonding agent.
Porcelain veneers can be used to lengthen worn down structure, repair minor chips and cracks, and reshape malformed teeth. Our team can mask permanent teeth stains that would otherwise resist teeth whitening, and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have a smile that appears straighter without the need for braces or aligners.
Botox
Did you know that we offer Botox and dermal fillers? With Botox, we inject the botulism toxin into facial muscles, which restricts movement to these muscles and interrupts nerve transmissions to prevent the actions that create fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Administration takes seconds, and the results last for up to six months. We can re-apply as needed in follow-up visits. Along with improving facial beauty, this can also offer relief from pain related to TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding).
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are unique injections that smooth the skin around your nose and mouth and fill in places to offer a fuller appearance, and a more youthful one too! Again, the results can last for several months to come. If you have any questions about cosmetic dentistry, then please reach out to our team today. With cosmetic dentistry, we can help you obtain a stunning smile in 2024.
