Teeth that are damaged, chipped or worn can be concealed using dental veneers; these are small, thin shells that a cosmetic dentist shapes and fits atop a patient’s existing tooth to restore the tooth’s appearance. Veneers can be shaded to match the person’s existing tooth color and are a great way to correct crooked smiles, close off gaps between teeth, or to conceal heavily discolored teeth that may not be treatable through conventional teeth whitening solutions.
Heavily damaged or cracked teeth can be concealed using dental crowns. This involves the use of porcelain caps that covers a complete tooth, unlike veneers, which only covers the front of the tooth. The cosmetic dentist strips away a small portion of enamel before cementing the crown in place. The crown helps to preserve the structure of the original tooth, prevent the tooth from incurring further damage, and retains the original tooth’s strength.
Tooth whitening is a very popular treatment to improve your smile. From do-it-yourself kits that can be used at home, to professional teeth whitening and the latest ZOOM! teeth whitening solutions, teeth whitening restores the teeth back to their natural color, leaving the patient with a dazzling white smile once again.
While tooth whitening can often take several weeks to achieve the desired results, ZOOM! teeth whitening treatments can accelerate the process to just one day.
By a combination of light-activated gel that is applied by the cosmetic dentist onto the patient’s teeth, and the use of a laser that agitates the molecules within the gel to erode staining on the teeth, the dentist can deliver all the benefits of many weeks’ conventional teeth whitening treatments into one single, safe treatment to give a result that the patient will want to show off time and again.
