If you aren’t gifted with a beautiful smile, don’t despair.
You can achieve that goal through cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic procedures, such as veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, and tooth-colored fillings, can give your smile a more youthful, radiant appearance. At Cooper Dental Group, our skilled cosmetic dentists in Ormond Beach, FL can work with you to obtain the smile of your dreams. We’ll personalize every step of your smile makeover to bring out your smile’s true beauty.
Cosmetic Dental Treatments
There is no shortage of cosmetic dental procedures to improve your smile’s appearance. After evaluating your smile and discussing the problems you want to fix, we can recommend treatments that perfectly meet your needs. Some procedures can be completed relatively quickly, while others are more lengthy. For stunning results you can enjoy sooner, we recommend the following procedures:
- Teeth whitening – Stained, discolored teeth can be transformed through teeth whitening. Our professional teeth whitening services can rid your smile of unsightly stains left by foods, tea, coffee, or smoking to make your smile gleam.
- Tooth-colored fillings – No one wants to flash a mouth full of metal when they smile. That’s why we use composite tooth-colored fillings for our cavity treatments. Composite fillings treat dental decay discreetly by blending in with the color of your teeth to preserve your smile’s aesthetic appeal.
- Porcelain veneers – Tooth flaws like chips, cracks, gaps, and uneven teeth can be concealed with porcelain veneers. Veneers are ultra-thin, shell-like porcelain restorations cemented to front teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers can make your smile whiter, straighter, smoother, and more symmetrical.
- Dental crowns – Porcelain crowns are customized “caps” placed over weak, broken, or decayed teeth needing repair. Crowns fortify damaged teeth to protect their structure and restore their usefulness. Crowning your tooth will also conceal the damage and imperfections to enhance its appearance. Porcelain crowns closely resemble natural teeth and will complement your smile beautifully.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding, also called composite bonding, uses a special resin material to repair or cover imperfections of a natural tooth. Dental bonding is used to help improve the appearance of teeth that may be chipped, misaligned, discolored, or have gaps between them. The composite material is applied directly to the tooth and shaped and polished to create a natural-looking finish. Only one visit is needed to achieve the desired results.
How Do I Care For My Dental Bonding Results?
Bonding can last several years with proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups. It is critical that you avoid habits such as nail-biting or chewing on hard objects, which can result in the bonding material chipping or breaking off. With appropriate maintenance, you can enjoy your improved smile for many years!
Will Dental Bonding Stain?
It is possible for dental bonding to become stained over time, much like natural teeth. To avoid staining, brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss regularly. Also, avoid substances such as coffee, tea, or red wine that can cause staining. If the bonding becomes stained, it will need to be replaced by your dentist to maintain its appearance.
Dental Veneers
A bright, cheerful smile will be well remembered by all you meet. Unfortunately, many people hide their smiles due to having chipped, worn, or stained teeth. Rather than hide your smile, our dentists recommend dental veneer treatment. Cosmetic veneers will give your smile an attractive, polished appearance. At Cooper Dental Group, we offer porcelain and composite veneers to our patients in and around Ormond Beach, FL.
What To Expect From Dental Veneers
Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored shells made from porcelain or composite resin material that can be bonded to the surface of your teeth to alter their appearance. Impressions will be taken of your teeth to have veneers custom-designed for your smile. If your teeth are stained or discolored, veneers can whiten their appearance. If your teeth are slightly crooked, veneers will make them appear straight and even. Veneers can correct multiple problems simultaneously, such as:
- Stains and discolorations that can’t be bleached
- Chips or cracks in your teeth
- Gaps between your teeth
- Misshapen or irregularly sized teeth
- Slightly misaligned teeth
Types Of Veneers
Porcelain and composite resin are two of the most common types of veneers.
Porcelain veneers are composed of durable, stain-resistant ceramic material that closely resembles the color and sheen of natural teeth.
Composite veneers are composed of composite resin material, similar to that used for dental fillings and dental bonding. These veneers aren’t as strong or stain resistant as porcelain veneers. However, they offer the advantage of being repairable if the veneer chips, whereas a damaged porcelain veneer would have to be totally replaced. Composite veneers are also less costly than porcelain veneers, but their lifespan is shorter.
Depending on the problems that need to be fixed, our dentists can help you determine the veneer treatment best suited to your smile needs.
