There's a new trend happening and it's not good. 59% of adults indicated that didn't go to the dentist because of how much they had to pay, according to the American Dental Association. Many adults think that they can just brush and floss and be fine. There are areas that they can miss, which can lead to gum disease or chipped or discolored teeth. As a result, they may need cosmetic dentistry. Let's look a bit more into it for more information.

Cosmetic Dentists Do Teeth Whitening

Do you like to drink a lot of coffee, tea, or soda? Are you a fan of berries? They can cause your teeth to get stained. A cosmetic dentist can provide teeth whitening. They use a gel that is a lot stronger than whitening strips. You'll get noticeable results right away.

Cosmetic Dentists Do Veneers

Do you have a chipped tooth that you are embarrassed about? A cosmetic dentist can remove a bit of enamel and bond a thin piece of porcelain called a veneer. It looks like a regular tooth. This can help you have a great smile again. This is not a reversible thing, though, due to the removal of the enamel, so you need to be sure about it. They last for a long time with proper care.

Cosmetic Dentists Can Do Dental Bonding

Do you have crooked teeth or some discoloration? A cosmetic dentist can put tooth-colored composite resin over it. It can make your teeth look uniform again.

There is a common misconception that cosmetic dentistry is all about vanity. It's certainly not! It's about helping restore confidence to people. In the past, they might have been reluctant to do things like smile or talk to others due to a chipped tooth or discolored teeth. As a result, they may have been viewed as being standoffish. By getting cosmetic dentistry work done and having teeth whitening or veneers, they will be a lot more willing to open their mouths. This can lead to improvements in their personal and professional lives. They will likely say that it was worth it. Are you in need of cosmetic dentistry? We can help you!
