Longmont Cosmetic Dentist Explains Innovative Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Options

Improving the appearance of your smile can increase your self-esteem and confidence. More patients than ever are taking advantage of cutting-edge cosmetic dentistry treatments to transform their smiles and their lives. Every patient is different, so every patient requires cosmetic dentistry solutions that fit their lifestyle and helps them meet their dental goals. When evaluating your cosmetic options you should consider what you want to fix, how long you want to devote to cosmetic treatment, and whether you’re attempting to refresh or totally makeover your smile.

Here are some common cosmetic dentistry procedures—what they achieve and how they work:

Teeth whitening treatments: teeth whitening and bleaching treatments are popular, non-invasive, and efficient. Whitening treatments remove dental debris and plaque. Bleaching treatments actually utilize peroxide to whiten dental enamel. Both of these options can achieve results in only one or two visits, and are suitable for a wide variety of patients. Many adult patients turn to teeth whitening treatments to achieve a younger-looking, revitalized smile.

Dental bonding: dental bonding allows patients to fix broken and chipped teeth—allowing them to blend seamlessly with neighboring teeth. With dental bonding, our Longmont cosmetic dentists can close gaps between teeth and shape dental enamel. Teeth can appear better proportioned, and better aligned with dental bonding as well.

Lumineers®: this is a cosmetic option for a variety of patients, ranging from those who want a total smile makeover, to those who want to correct one damaged tooth. Lumineers® are made of thin layers of porcelain. They are attached directly to dental enamel, instantly transforming the appearance of crooked, misaligned, stained, or damaged teeth. Lumineers® are custom fit and shaded to blend naturally with your other teeth. They are a popular option for many patients who want to transform their smiles and fix multiple cosmetic problems at once.

Our Longmont cosmetic dentists have found that all of these treatment options are popular with patients of many ages. The best way to determine what kind of cosmetic treatments will work for your situation is to speak with a dental professional and learn about your options. Every patient should consider their ideal time-line and the necessary cost when choosing between dental procedures. Our Longmont cosmetic dentists can walk you through cosmetic treatment and help you achieve a smile you love.
