What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a field of dentistry that can benefit your smile’s appearance, including your teeth, gums, and bite. Its primary goal is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile, rather than treating oral health concerns or functional issues. However, some cosmetic treatments can address both. 

The experienced and dedicated team at Carl F. Lipe DDS, PLLC, uses various techniques to help you achieve a confident, beautiful smile with minimal discomfort or downtime. 

What can cosmetic dentistry address?

Cosmetic dentistry can help improve the appearance of many aesthetic dental concerns, including:

• Discolored or stained teeth
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Misaligned teeth 
• Uneven teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Missing teeth
• Gummy smiles
• Uneven gumlines
• Teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding)

The team can also use cosmetic treatments to fix unattractive dental work, such as old dental crowns or fillings.

What treatments does cosmetic dentistry include?

Carl F. Lipe DDS, PLLC, offers many cosmetic treatments to enhance your smile, including:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening uses a combination of bleaching solutions and LED light therapies to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth. It’s one of the most popular cosmetic treatments to dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile in a single visit. 

Crowns and bridges

Crowns are custom-made caps that fit over the visible portion of damaged or decayed teeth, while bridges fill in the spaces left behind by missing teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are custom-made coverings that change the shape, size, and appearance of damaged teeth. They bond to the surface of your teeth for a brighter, straighter smile.

Dental implants

Dental implants are made of durable titanium, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth. They replace your natural tooth roots to provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the surface of a tooth and sculpting it to improve its appearance. Bonding is an affordable alternative to veneers if you have minor chips, cracks, or discoloration.

Whether you’re looking to improve your smile for aesthetic reasons or to boost your self-confidence, cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve your goals. Call Carl F. Lipe DDS, PLLC, or schedule an appointment online today to learn more about how cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile.
