Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures to Improve Your Smile

Cosmetic Dentistry ProceduresDo you look in the mirror and think, "My smile would be perfect if that tooth wasn't chipped and discolored."? Luckily, your Kirkland, WA, cosmetic dentist, Dr. Bernard Pak offers a variety of services that can enhance your smile.

Bonding offers an excellent option for many cosmetic issues

Whether you want to repair a chip, cover a discolored tooth, improve a tooth's shape, or hide imperfections such as minor cracks, dental bonding can do it! Your Kirkland dentist applies soft composite resin to your tooth before bonding the material to your enamel with a curing light. Bonding is a simple procedure and also one of the least expensive cosmetic dentistry options.

Veneers keep common tooth problems under wraps

Thin veneers are designed to hide issues that detract from your smile, such as chips, cracks, uneven surfaces and discolorations. Because the thin shells are attached to only the fronts of your teeth, they don't require extensive preparation. In fact, your dentist will only need to remove a very small amount of tooth enamel to ensure that the veneers fit well. Translucent porcelain veneers look like tooth enamel and are available in many shades of white. If you're covering a chip or discoloration, you'll probably want to match the color of surrounding teeth, however, when overall whitening is your goal, it makes sense to choose a shade significantly lighter in order to brighten your smile.

Whitening offers a quick, easy smile transformation

Most of us notice a little yellowing over the years. Stains from foods, beverages, and the overall passage of time may dull your smile, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Professional teeth whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades, leading to a completely revitalized smile.

Your Kirkland dentist uses hydrogen peroxide gel to break apart stain-causing pigments that collect in microscopic openings in your tooth enamel. Teeth whitening results generally last about two to three years, although you can keep your teeth looking whiter for longer if you avoid substances that tend to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, cola, berries, soy sauce, sports drinks, and brightly colored candy.
