Improving your smile with cosmetic dentistry may seem like a complex task at first glance. However, learning about common cosmetic procedures can help you narrow down your choices and make an educated decision. Find out more about some of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures with Dr. Raymond Della Porta in Vero Beach, FL.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a versatile procedure which your dentist can adjust to suit your wishes. Whether you want to subtly lift the color of your smile only a few shades or opt for the full strength treatment to turn your smile bright white, teeth whitening can help you. Since teeth whitening does not work on porcelain restorations like crowns or veneers, you can work with your dentist to coordinate the shade of teeth whitening for your natural teeth and the color of the porcelain of your dental restorations.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns protect a damaged or broken tooth by fitting over the existing tooth. Made from porcelain, a dental laboratory customizes the crown for your mouth. Dentists often use crowns to protect a tooth with a large filling, hold a dental bridge in place, or cover a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry procedure which uses thin shells of porcelain to overhaul the look of your smile. The veneers fit over each tooth and mask their imperfections. They can change the size, shape, length, or width of your tooth and can also alter the color of your smile to your preference. Veneers are often used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures like crowns or implants.
Dental Implants
Like a dental bridge, dental implants replace a missing tooth. However, implants also replace the tooth’s root by implanting a small titanium post into the bone beneath the gumline. This provides stimulation for the bone, keeping it healthy and decreasing the chance of bone atrophy. Implants are permanent and last a lifetime.
