What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry has been around for decades. It takes healthy teeth and enhances their appearance through various aesthetic treatments. Cosmetic dentistry improves:

  • Tooth color, shape and size
  • Dental alignment and bite
  • Appearance of the gum line
  • Defects such as gaps, hairline fractures, chips, pits and more

Through their advanced training (typically two years beyond dental school) and continuing education courses, cosmetic dentists offer treatments which complement a person’s age, gender and facial appearance. Even subtleties such as smile height and uneven tooth length are considered when devising a cosmetic dentistry makeover. Professional associations, such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, give these dental care providers peer support accountability and many opportunities for additional credentialing and exchange of information. In short, a cosmetic dentist is your expert in smile improvement.

It Takes Good Oral Health

Dentist want the best in oral and overall health for each of his or her patients. Sparkling tooth enamel, proper alignment, pink gums–preventive dentistry supports and protects these components of a healthy smile. Restorative dental services bring smiles back to full function and health when injury, decay, gum disease or other oral health problems occur.

Cosmetic dentists support and build upon those healthy smiles. They consider issues such as how your smile appears to others. Is someone ashamed to laugh or smile in public because of failing restorations, stains from smoking or teeth that are chipped or crooked?

Cosmetic dentistry from Papageorgiou Dental Associates  handles all kinds of aesthetic dental issues. Popular treatments are Invisalign clear aligners, Kor and Brite White professional teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.

A Smile Consultation at Papageorgiou Dental Associates

During a cosmetic dentistry consultation, Dr. Sing or Papageorgiou examines teeth, gums and facial appearance. She takes X-rays and photos to study how teeth look in relationship to each other and to the individual’s smile overall. She asks for the patient’s input, too. From there, the cosmetic dentist writes a care plan for the best possible smile within the patient’s timeframe and budget.

Cosmetic Dental Treatments

A simple and economical service is professional teeth whitening in Natick. The dentist uses Kor in-office whitening to brighten tooth enamel discolored by smoking, food, and dark beverages and even deeper stains from prescription drugs. The proprietary hydrogen peroxide gel requires no special activation light, but rather, retains its potency because it is refrigerated until used by your cosmetic dentist. The process takes about an hour and safely changes stained teeth by up to eight shades.

Also, the doctors offer Brite White and NIte White at-home whitening options. The patient applies a less powerful gel via customized acrylic trays. Over two weeks, smiles brighten by as much as eight shades of color for results that really last.

For aesthetic defects, the dentist may place porcelain veneers. Translucent shells of fine ceramic, custom-made veneers disguise the front side of teeth spoiled by fractures, deep stains, gaps and overcrowding. Veneers may substitute for mild orthodontic correction and make teeth stronger, too. It takes just two appointments to prepare and receive this outstanding dental treatment.

Lastly, have you wanted orthodontic care but are reluctant to try traditional metal braces? Then consider Invisalign clear aligners. These removable acrylic appliances reposition crooked teeth into healthy, attractive smiles more quickly and comfortably than metal or ceramic brackets.  Adults and older teens alike wear Invisalign for mild to moderate orthodontic problems and enjoy their discreet appearance.
