What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
General dentists work to maintain the health of your teeth and gums and prevent and treat any dental problems that arise. General dentists, like Dr. Newman, are primary care dental providers specializing in diagnosing, treating, and preventing oral diseases and conditions. Dr. Newman examines your teeth and mouth for signs of oral diseases and looks for any signs of dental decay. He also provides preventive care, such as cleaning and fluoride treatment.
In addition, general dentists provide basic restorative care, like filling cavities, and they can also perform more complex procedures such as root canals, gum surgery, and crowns. Dr. Newman also provides oral health advice and education to our patients. General dentists often serve as a gateway to specialty care, such as orthodontics or periodontics, and they can even provide cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening.
Overall oral health
When people think of cosmetic dentistry, they often only think about the aesthetic services that your dentist can offer. However, sometimes missing or broken teeth can prevent you from chewing properly or cause you pain, and cosmetic dentistry is a great way of solving two problems with one solution. Cosmetic dentistry can be used to take care of your overall oral health, and Newman Dental can offer this service.
Confidence building
Having stained, missing, or even broken teeth can damage your self-confidence, and one of the main reasons people use cosmetic dentistry is to improve their smile. This may include teeth whitening, veneers, braces, or even having your teeth reshaped to your desired shape and size. People often choose cosmetic dentistry to boost their self-confidence and make their smiles more attractive.
TMD/TMJ therapy
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the lower jaw with the head and allows jaw movement. TMJ disorders can be extremely painful and even affect the appearance of the face in a negative way. Cosmetic dentistry can help eliminate these problems and give TMJ sufferers the smile they’ve always dreamed of.
Teeth restorations
It’s easy to crack or chip your teeth, even when you’re very careful not to! A chewy or hard piece of food can crack or chip your teeth, leaving you with a sharp edge and feeling conscious of the way your teeth look. With cosmetic dentistry, cracks, and chips in your teeth can be filled in!
If you have silver fillings, you may feel self-conscious of the way they look. Choosing a tooth restoration treatment means you’ll receive a white filling, making your teeth look healthier.
What cosmetic services do we offer?
- Teeth-Whitening
This is a non-invasive procedure that treats the pores on your teeth – known as chromophores. Teeth whitening works by applying a whitening gel that breaks down the chromophores and removes them from the teeth. Resulting in a whiter and healthier-looking smile. - Bonding & Contouring
This process shapes the enamel to improve the appearance of your teeth, and can also be used to help reshape long or odd-shaped teeth. - Laser Gum Contouring
This procedure is used to help reshape your gums. It is ideal for people who are worried about their gummy smile, and wish that there would be less exposure of their gums when they smile. - Porcelain Veneers
Often used to repair broken or chipped teeth, veneers are bonded to the enamel on your teeth and typically last up to 15 years if taken care of. - Invisalign® Aligners
A clear brace that straightens your teeth without the need for a metal brace.
