Cosmetic dentistry is used daily in dental offices around the world. Most people simply associate cosmetic dentistry with tooth whitening or Hollywood-style makeovers. Cosmetic dentistry can be used to make a big difference in your smile, but it can also make very small changes that can dramatically improve your smile. The general uses for cosmetic dental treatment are as follows:

-Broken teeth. If you have a broken tooth, you should first determine the extent of the fracture. If the fracture is superficial and does not penetrate the nerves of the tooth, a porcelain crown will be recommended that provides the support and strength needed to restore shape, form, and function. However, if the fracture extends below the nerves of the teeth or the lines of the gums, extensive treatment is required. If you can save your teeth, it is advisable to use a porcelain crown following root canal treatment. If the fracture cannot be repaired, tooth extraction is recommended.

-Yellowing teeth. Teeth whitening is often the answer to this question. Teeth whitening can be done in the office or at home. It is very effective in brightening most people's smiles quickly and easily.

-Orthodontic treatment. Whether it's a single tooth out of line or multiple teeth, orthodontic dentistry can solve the problem. You can use traditional types of orthodontics or clear aligners. Instant orthodontics is the use of porcelain veneers to correct small imperfections in your smile. Traditional orthodontics will be necessary if there are major misalignments in your smile. With new techniques such as a 6-month smile, the orthodontic treatment can be completed in just 6 months.

-Replacement of old dental restorations. Over time, even the best restorations wear and even discolor. Replacement will rejuvenate your smile and make it look whiter and brighter.

-Close the space between the teeth. Many of us have gaps between our teeth and don't want to experience the time and effort of traditional orthodontics. Cosmetic dentistry can fill these gaps with dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and even porcelain crowns. Cosmetic dentistry can make your teeth look and function like any other tooth, giving you a vibrant smile.
