What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes all the procedures that help enhance the appearance of your teeth. These cosmetic treatments are often not necessary for your teeth’s function, but they can get you a beautiful smile. In some cases, however, cosmetic dentistry can refine tooth damage and correct imperfections, such as cracks, fractures, or discoloration. 

These corrections may deter infections and help you maintain better dental hygiene. 

How can cosmetic dentistry help me?

If you don’t like how your smile looks, consult with Dr. Bram. Many of the cosmetic dentistry procedures are simple and improve concerns like: 

• Yellow or discolored teeth
• Overly long or short teeth
• Chipped or fractured teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Missing teeth
• Crooked teeth

You can elect more than one cosmetic treatment to receive an entire smile makeover.

What cosmetic dentistry treatments do you offer?

Dr. Bram offers several cosmetic treatments, such as:

Teeth whitening

When you have stained or discolored teeth caused by food or drink choices (such as black coffee and red wine), in-house teeth whitening brightens up your smile by several shades in one visit. Dr. Bram applies a solution to your teeth that breaks up and removes unwanted discoloration in a painless, hour-long visit.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers correct misshapen, cracked, or permanently discolored teeth. Veneers are a super thin covering that Dr. Bram bonds to the surface of your teeth to create a more polished, uniform appearance.

Dental crowns

If you have a vulnerable tooth, a crown covers and protects the tooth from the gumline. These “caps” improve the appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth and restores its shape and size. 

How do I care for my teeth after cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry treatments are permanent and you apply the same detailed care you should to your natural teeth. Great dental hygiene includes:

• Brushing at least two times per day
• Flossing once or twice a day
• Investing in nonabrasive toothpaste and soft toothbrush
• Rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash
• Visiting your dentist for routine professional cleanings

You should also avoid chewing on hard objects, like popcorn kernels, or using your teeth as tools.
