Do you have embarrassing teeth stains, misshapen teeth, or exposed gaps between teeth? What about signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles? If so, then you should talk to our team about cosmetic dentistry, and how this can help your smile shine. In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about our cosmetic treatment options.
Starting with an Initial Consultation
If you want to see major improvement in the appearance of your smile, that starts with an initial checkup visit. During your consultation, we will talk to you about your hopes for your smile and then carefully examine your teeth, gums, and oral structures with advanced imaging technology. We want to assess the cause and severity of these concerns, so we can plan treatment in detail. We could address these concerns with a single treatment, or offer a smile makeover that combines multiple procedures. Every smile is unique, so we will take a personalized approach to your treatment.
In-Office and At-Home Teeth Whitening
If you have teeth stains, then our team can remove them with professional teeth whitening. For results in a short time frame, as little as one to two hours, we have an in-office procedure. Our team will place a protective covering over your lips and gums. We then apply the bleaching gel to the teeth, which is activated with a special light to break up and remove stains. The procedure offers substantial results in one sitting.
For more severe stains, we could provide an at-home procedure, one that also limits the risk of tooth sensitivity afterward. You visit our office just long enough for us to create a set of plastic trays, which we send home with you. We also send multiple plastic syringes filled with a bleaching gel. The trays are filled with gel and worn for a set amount of time each day. The total treatment time is usually a week to ten days, and results could mean teeth up to eight shades brighter. The leftover gel and trays are then yours to keep should you need a touch-up in the months to come.
Porcelain Veneers
Did you know we could potentially offer a smile makeover in only two visits? Porcelain veneers are very thin restorations that are custom-made and cover the front of your teeth. They instantly reshape the teeth and mask imperfections. Our team can place them to mask teeth stains, repair minor damage, and reshape malformed teeth. We can lengthen worn down tooth structures and also fill gaps between the teeth. If you have minor dental misalignment, we could even correct the appearance of your alignment too! In just two visits, you can enjoy stunning results.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
We also offer Botox and dermal fillers! These can be used to aid in the treatment of issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (chronic teeth grinding), but we also employ them to address the common signs of aging. For example, Botox is injected to specific areas of the face and jaw to interrupt signals and prevent muscle contractions, so fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and in the forehead can vanish for months at a time. Dermal fillers address the deep lines around your nose and mouth. Both can be re-administered as part of your checkup and cleaning visit, so you can enjoy a more youthful appearance.
Keeping Your Smile Bright
Our team can offer treatment to help your new results stay bright, so you can enjoy good oral health and a smile that makes a great first impression! We suggest brushing and flossing daily without exception, and also limit how much sugar and starch is in your diet. You should also avoid tobacco products too, and make time for a checkup and cleaning every six months. Good oral hygiene is the key to a smile that looks good and stays functional too!
