Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth It?
Patients suffering from dental issues can significantly improve their self-esteem and smile thanks to cosmetic dentistry. To see if cosmetic dentistry is the right investment for you, take a moment to evaluate your satisfaction with your smile. Do your teeth hold you back from smiling, laughing, or speaking in front of others? If so, you might be a strong candidate for cosmetic care. Our office provides a variety of high-quality treatment options to help you achieve a glowing smile you can feel great about.
Cosmetic Treatment Options
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Skip the office and whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home with take-home whitening kits. Over the course of a week, you’ll start to notice subtle, gradual results for a gleaming smile.
To create your reusable custom whitening trays, your dentist in Grants Pass, OR, will take impressions of your teeth using either dental putty or digital images with an intraoral scanner.
Once the trays are complete, we’ll provide you with the whitening product and instructions for proper use. By following your dentist’s instructions, you’ll get professional-grade results right at home.
Dental Bonding, Shaping & Contouring
During the dental bonding process, your dentist applies a dental resin directly to your tooth to match the natural shade of your smile. Your dentist will then correct the shape of your tooth by carefully shaping and sculpting the resin to restore your smile’s overall look and functionality. This non-invasive process takes about 30-60 minutes for each tooth.
Also known as enameloplasty, shaping & contouring is a cosmetic process that is often used alongside bonding. To shape and contour, a thin layer of enamel is removed from uneven, chipped, or pointy teeth to ensure your desired shape and appearance.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, durable, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are attached to the front of teeth. This cosmetic feature can treat small gaps between teeth, severe staining, misshapen or uneven teeth, and much more. Veneers can completely transform your smile and last for years. Once veneers are placed on the tooth, they cannot be detached. Taking a veneer off of the tooth removes some of your natural enamel, which is an irreversible process.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution that uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually straighten teeth without the need for metal braces. They apply gentle, controlled pressure to shift teeth into proper alignment over time. These aligners are removable, comfortable, and nearly invisible, making them a convenient option for improving your smile while maintaining your daily routine and oral hygiene.
Cosmetic Dental Makeovers
If you’re unsure of which cosmetic treatments are the best fit for you and your smile, or if you believe you may need multiple treatments to achieve desired results, talk to your dentist about a cosmetic dental makeover.
As a highly customized, multi-treatment plan, a cosmetic makeover is specifically tailored to treat all issues you may have with your smile. Every smile is unique, so processes differ from patient to patient. Multiple cosmetic and restorative dental procedures will be completed over a period of time to ensure you are proud of your brand-new smile.
