Cosmetic Dentistry: Cosmetic dentistry involves a variety of treatment options to provide a client with the optimal smile for the look they desire. These treatment options include:

• Tooth whitening (bleaching) brightens teeth that are discolored or stained.
• Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them.
• Enamel shaping involves modifying teeth to improve their appearance by removing or contouring enamel. The process, which often is combined with bonding, usually is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen immediately.
• Veneers are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of teeth. Made of tooth-colored materials, veneers are used to treat spaces between teeth and teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
• Orthodontics may be needed if teeth are crooked, crowded or do not meet properly.
• Periodontics may be needed to treat gum diseases and restore a patient’s smile using dental implants and a variety of other treatments.
