Do you hide your teeth in photos, or do you smile wide for the world to see?
If you tend to stick with a closed-lip smile, cosmetic dentistry may help you feel more confident showing off your teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. Several procedures can enhance the look of your teeth while correcting issues like discoloration, uneven teeth, gaps, or missing teeth.
Sometimes one treatment is enough to improve your smile. In other cases, a combination of procedures may give you the best results.
Below are some of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures.
This non-invasive treatment uses professional bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration from teeth.
Whitening can be done:
- In-office by your dentist
- At home using custom trays from your dentist
Professional vs Over-the-Counter Whitening
Over-the-Counter Products
- Remove surface stains
- Lighten teeth about 1–2 shades
- Often require ongoing use
Professional Whitening
- Can lighten teeth several shades
- Produces longer-lasting results
- Typically requires occasional touch-ups
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells placed over the front of teeth to improve their appearance.
They are commonly made from porcelain or composite resin and can address several cosmetic concerns, including:
- Discolored teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Gaps between teeth
At Dr. Jon DDS, Inc., we offer porcelain veneers designed to create a natural-looking smile.
Porcelain veneers are known for:
- Durability
- Stain resistance
- A natural, lifelike appearance
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a discreet way to straighten teeth without traditional metal braces.
These removable aligners gradually move teeth into position over time.
Clear aligners can help correct:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Bite issues
At our Lincoln, CA cosmetic dentistry office, Dr. Jon DDS offers SureSmile clear aligners to help patients achieve straighter teeth comfortably.
Treatment typically includes:
- Digital scans and photos of your teeth
- A customized treatment plan
- A series of aligners that gradually move your teeth
Patients usually switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks while visiting the office periodically to monitor progress.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth and restore both the function and appearance of your smile.
An implant acts as an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone. It supports a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental implants can help:
- Restore your smile
- Preserve jawbone structure
- Improve chewing ability
- Support long-term oral health
Because implants integrate with the jawbone, they provide a stable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
