How does cosmetic dentistry improve your smile?

There are many options available at the Los Angeles cosmetic dentist to improve your smile and to enhance the symmetry of your facial features.

Among the more common cosmetic dentistry procedures, there are teeth whitening, tooth shaping, gum lifts, porcelain veneers, resins, dental implants, dentures, bonded bridge etc. The treatment obviously depends on the individual problem. Los Angeles cosmetic dentist will custom-design a treatment plan for you, keeping with your requirements on the budget, desired results and time frame.

Discolored Teeth:

Teeth may get discolored with age or due to consumption of food and beverages that contain staining pigments. Smoking is also a leading cause of discolored teeth. Even the toughest of stains can be removed by advanced teeth whitening options like Zoom whitening. Bleaching and other whitening solutions that involve usage of bleaching gels to oxidize the surface stains produce temporary results that may last for a few months. For a more permanent option, you many want to consider veneers.

Chips, cracks and uneven teeth:

For minor dental problems such as chips, cracks and unevenly shaped teeth, you can consider options such as enamel shaping, tooth bonding or veneering. The Los Angeles cosmetic dentist will help you choose the best procedure for you depending on your needs.

Missing Teeth:

For missing teeth, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist offer you a permanent solution in the form of dental implants. They are a much more reliable and durable alternative traditional dental restorative procedures such as dentures or dental bridges. For people with many missing teeth and who do not want to consider implants for all of them, implant-based options such as implant supported dentures and implant supported dental bridges are available.

Misaligned Teeth:

If you have misaligned teeth that need to be brought to their proper position using orthodontic braces, but are not too keen on having metal structures jutting out from your mouth, Invisalign invisible braces may be the perfect solution for you. They are made from clear, medical-grade plastic and fixed inside the mouth, behind the teeth. Invisalign braces will not be visible to others.

Gummy Smile:

An ideal smile will have 20% of the gums and 80% of the teeth on display. If you have a gummy smile, the gum visibility will be much higher. This condition can be easily corrected through a gum lift. It is a minor surgical procedure that involves cutting away the extra gum tissue. This procedure can also make the teeth appear longer.
