At Breeze Dental, we understand that a confident smile can make a world of difference. Whether you’re looking to fix minor imperfections or completely transform your smile, our cosmetic dentistry options can help you achieve your perfect smile.
Smile design is a personalized approach that takes into account your unique facial features, dental health, and aesthetic goals.
Here, we’ll explore various cosmetic dentistry options available to help you create the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
What is Smile Design?
Smile design is a comprehensive process that involves evaluating and enhancing the appearance of your smile through various cosmetic dental procedures. The goal is to create a balanced, harmonious smile that complements your facial features and enhances your overall appearance.
Our skilled team at Breeze Dental uses state-of-the-art technology and techniques to customize a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and desires.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options
There are several cosmetic dentistry procedures that can be used individually or in combination to achieve your ideal smile.
Here’s an overview of some of the most popular options:
Teeth Whitening
One of the simplest and most popular cosmetic dental treatments is teeth whitening. Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to factors like coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and aging. Professional teeth whitening treatments can significantly brighten your smile by removing these stains and restoring the natural whiteness of your teeth.
At Breeze Dental, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options. In-office whitening provides immediate results, with your teeth becoming several shades lighter in just one visit. Take-home kits allow you to whiten your teeth gradually in the comfort of your own home.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are an excellent solution for correcting a variety of cosmetic issues, including chipped, cracked, stained, or misaligned teeth.
Veneers are crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite resin, which mimic the natural appearance of your teeth. The process of getting veneers typically involves two visits.
During the first visit, your teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel, and impressions are taken. The veneers are then custom-made in a dental lab. On your second visit, the veneers are bonded to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are used to restore teeth that are severely damaged or decayed. A crown covers the entire tooth, providing strength, durability, and an improved appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal.
Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular for their natural look and ability to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
The procedure for placing a crown usually involves two visits. During the first visit, the tooth is shaped and an impression is taken.
A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being fabricated. On your second visit, the permanent crown is cemented in place, restoring both the function and appearance of your tooth.
Invisalign
For those seeking to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions.
The aligners are custom-made for your teeth and are virtually invisible when worn. The Invisalign process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create a 3D model and design your custom aligners.
You’ll receive a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, and each set will move your teeth closer to your ideal smile. Invisalign is a convenient option that allows you to maintain your oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile and cost-effective cosmetic procedure that can address minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. During the bonding process, a tooth-colored resin is applied to the affected area and shaped to achieve the desired appearance.
The resin is then hardened with a special light, bonded securely to the tooth, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Bonding is a quick procedure that usually requires only one visit. It’s an excellent option for making small but significant improvements to your smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. An implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it acts as a replacement root for a missing tooth.
Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached, providing a permanent and natural-looking solution. Implants offer numerous benefits, including improved speech, comfort, and chewing ability.
They also help maintain the structure of your jawbone and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth.
The process of getting an implant involves multiple stages, including the placement of the implant, a healing period, and the attachment of the crown. However, the results are long-lasting and can significantly enhance both the function and appearance of your smile.
The Smile Design Process at Breeze Dental
At Breeze Dental, our smile design process begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your dental health, and take digital images and impressions of your teeth.
We use advanced software to create a digital model of your new smile, allowing you to see the potential results before any work begins. Based on this information, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include one or more of the cosmetic procedures mentioned above.
Our team will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you are comfortable and informed at all times.
