Your smile says a lot about you, but you might not always feel like your smile is at its best. You might hide your teeth when you laugh or feel embarrassed about the condition of your teeth and gums. It’s not your fault that you don’t feel confident about your appearance; most people feel the same way about their smiles at some point in their lives! At the office of the dentist in Ann Arbor, MI, we offer cosmetic dental treatments to help you live confidently with a beautiful smile.
Some procedures can be completed in just one visit, while others require multiple visits. During the consultation at Progressive Dental in Ann Arbor, MI, we can evaluate the oral health condition of the patient to determine if they are candidates for this treatment. We can also discuss other treatment options that may be appropriate based on their needs and goals for their smile. The common cosmetic dentistry procedures include:
Dental Veneers
When teeth are gapped, crooked, or otherwise misaligned, a veneer may be a good option for correcting the appearance of the teeth. A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of the tooth to create a new appearance for the smile. While veneers are one of the more costly cosmetic dentistry treatments, they offer a durable and long-lasting solution to many cosmetic issues.
Teeth Whitening
Among the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. Over time, teeth can become discolored due to the foods and drinks that we consume. In addition to consuming these staining substances, smoking can also discolor your teeth. Fortunately, you can reverse this discoloration with professional whitening treatments available in your dentist’s office. With a professional treatment, you will see results much faster than with a drugstore product. For patients who choose at-home whitening, you can expect a noticeably whiter smile in a matter of days.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an aesthetic dental treatment that helps repair minor tooth damage, close gaps between teeth, and alter the shape of individual teeth to make them look more attractive. During the treatment process, our dentist in Ann Arbor will apply a tooth-colored resin that bonds with the tooth to disguise any visible flaws and make the smile appear more uniform over time.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to restore decayed or broken teeth as well as replace old restorations like metal fillings. These custom-made caps can be designed to match the shade of your surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.
