So, you’ve decided that you’re ready to improve the appearance of your smile. Step one is done! But now it’s time to think about which types of treatments might be right for your smile. Our Elmhurst cosmetic dentists offer a number of effective and convenient treatment options to refresh and rejuvenate your smile. Keep reading to get more details.
Professional dental whitening
This is one of the fastest ways to take years off of the appearance of your smile. Professional dental whitening treatment simply involves applying a topical whitening gel to your dental enamel; this gel penetrates the dental enamel and lifts existing dental stains and discoloration, helping to restore your smile to its original level of whiteness.
Dental bonding
This treatment covers the patient’s natural tooth, or at least part of the tooth with composite dental resin. Once the dental resin is cured it hardens and bonds to the patient’s tooth. You may use dental bonding to cover discolored enamel, close gaps between teeth, correct dental damage, and even make slightly misaligned teeth look more seamless.
Dental veneers
These are individual porcelain restorations that cover the patient’s visible natural dental structure. Every dental veneer is crafted from porcelain, and shaped, sized, and shaded to suit the patient’s unique aesthetic and functional needs. Once your veneers are in place they stay attached to your teeth permanently.
If you want to straighten and perfect your existing dental alignment, then Invisalign may be right for you. Invisalign is a patient-friendly alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to apply consistent pressure to your teeth.
These are just some of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that we offer in our Elmhurst dental office. You can always learn more about your dentistry options by calling our dental team or by using the Contact Us page on our website.
