Cosmetic dentistry is a general term that can refer to several different dental solutions that will help you achieve healthy, dazzling teeth that will last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Cosmetic dentistry is one of the best ways to help inspire greater levels of confidence, and nothing says confidence plus inspires trust quite like a fantastic smile can. Let us help you to proudly show off your smile to the world.What can cosmetic dentistry do for you?
We use materials that are innovative, along with trusted and fully tested dental techniques to ensure that the overall appearance after your cosmetic dentistry will boost your self-esteem. Instead of old silver, amalgam fillings, you can now turn to gold, or even more natural looking porcelain for fillings, veneers, crowns and bridges. Teeth whitening techniques, plus composites, veneers, or crwons can improve the overall color of your natural smile, and it can even create a more natural looking shape to your teeth, boosting your confidence further.
If a cosmetic dentistry procedure has been recommended to you by us, it is important that you first understand the procedure and make the associated cost-benefit analysis before undergoing treatment. Most cosmetic treatments are permanent dental solutions and should be well-understood before applied.
Composite Resin Bonding and Fillings
If you need a dental solution that can help improve minor imperfections, then you want to consider dental bonding. We at D. Ian Bell, D.D.S. are well-versed in the art of applying dental bonds to boost the integrity of your teeth. On top of being cost-effective, you also get the benefit of it being a simple procedure. When compared to the more complex types of procedures, such as veneers or crowns, you are typically able to get this entire procedure done in a single sitting. You get an effective and natural look for less! Plus, the procedure of dental bonding typically requires zero anesthesia because it's most often painless. Since we hear about patient fears on a regular basis, this often helps our clientele feel more confident in the process. We strive to make sure you know how much we value your comfort, ensuring you will have that as a top priority while you undergo any treatment with us.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are more than just a way to look better. They are also a solution for improving the overall size, shape, color, strength and look of health in your smile. Improving your smile with veneers also improves the functionality of your teeth as a whole. You will notice that your veneers stain less and are stronger. Veneers, when well done, are indiscernible with your natural teeth!
Teeth Whitening
At D. Ian Bell, D.D.S., we will help you achieve a great, bright smile in as many ways as we can. Since there are so many options when it comes to teeth whitening, you will want to work with us to determine which is best for you. You need to compare:
| • | The maximum whitening effect |
| • | How effective each option is at keeping your teeth white |
| • | If there is any type of an effect on the sensitivity of your teeth |
| • | The cost of each procedure |
| • | How often you would have to go back to maintain the effect |
There are many options when it comes to whitening, such as strips, gels and trays that whiten your teeth, rinses that help with teeth whitening, and even whitening toothpastes. We will also share our experience with you on which at-home, or in-office procedures are going to give you the results you are looking for at a price you can afford.
