When most people think about cosmetic dentistry, they may first think about removing stains or discoloration. But cosmetic dentistry can do much more than whiten a smile. Cosmetic dentistry solutions can correct cracked or chipped teeth, missing teeth, and even fix alignment. If you’re in Maine, and are considering improving the appearance of your smile, cosmetic dentistry from Maine Center for Dental Medicine can do a lot for you.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry includes any service that improves the appearance of your teeth, gums, and bite. While some people may just seek one treatment, cosmetic dentistry often involves performing multiple services, which we commonly refer to as a smile makeover.
What cosmetic dentistry services are available?
At the Maine Center for Dental Medicine, we offer the following cosmetic procedures:
- Porcelain veneers – Thin sheaths of porcelain that cover the front of the teeth to improve their overall appearance. They can alter shape, size, length, and color. Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining and thus remain beautiful for many years.
- Dental Implants – Dental implants are a solution for missing teeth that replace the tooth root. When a few teeth are missing, it can cause remaining teeth to shift, which can lead to difficulty with proper oral hygiene. If an entire arch of teeth is missing, it can affect the health of the jawbone as well as facial structure.
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that can lighten the shade of the teeth while also removing stains. It has risen in popularity to one of the most common dental procedures because it is cost effective and produces fantastic results.
