Improve Your Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry

What’s the first thing you notice about people when you meet them? More than likely, it’s the their smile, and they probably notice the same thing about you. Since your smile is such a big part of your first impression on people, wouldn’t you want to make it the best one possible? Good oral habits are a great way to achieve a nice smile, but sometimes, your teeth need a little extra help to look their best. That’s when you should use cosmetic dentistry to improve your grin. There are a variety of methods you can use to achieve your best smile.

You can work with your dentist to decide on one of two ways to brighten your smile. He or she can either whiten your teeth in the office, using tools like Zoom! Whitening, or he or she can make you custom whitening trays to use at home with a whitening solution.

These are becoming more and more popular as a way to quickly achieve a nice smile. Veneers can fix teeth that are chipped, discolored, permanently stained, or have gaps. They are also long-lasting and blend seamlessly in with your natural teeth.

Crowns not only improve the aesthetic of your teeth, but they can also protect them from damage. They are often used to restore a broken tooth, protect a weak tooth, or cover a tooth that is misshapen or has had a root canal.

Bridges are used to replace missing teeth, providing both a visual and physical improvement to your smile. They can be made of several materials and can only be removed by your dentist. Their lifespan depends on how well you care for them and your mouth.

Although there is an involved process to getting implants, they are a long-term solution for missing teeth. Implants are surgically placed into your jaw, so they provide a more solid hold when replacing several teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry is a viable option for creating the best smile you’ve ever had. The expert staff at Ronald Murphy Dentistry can perform any of these procedures on your teeth, so you can improve not only your smile’s appearance but its function as well.
