Light Dentist Touch performs cosmetic dentistry procedures in addition to general dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your teeth and gums with the primary goal of transforming your appearance and self-confidence through dental restoration. In some cases, general and cosmetic dentistry intersect, while in other cases, dental work is performed with the single goal of helping you feel more confident in your smile.
Cosmetic dentistry may set out to replace missing teeth, improve the color of your teeth, or change the shape or alignment of your teeth. Common cosmetic procedures include:
- Teeth Whitening: whitening is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to change the way you look. At Light Dentist Touch, you can choose between in-office whitening or prescription-grade take-home whitening kits to remove staining and brighten your teeth.
- Bonding: Dental bonding can be used to repair teeth that are chipped, cracked, decayed, or misshapen. It takes an hour on average and costs an average of a few hundred dollars per tooth. You may have heard of this kind of restoration referred to as a filling.
- Veneers: Dental veneers are custom, porcelain, or resin shells that are affixed to the front surface of your teeth to change the size, length, shape, or color of your teeth. Veneers require a greater investment, but the end result is often a celebrity smile.
- Crowns and Bridges: Crowns and bridges fit over existing teeth to replace the entire part of the tooth that falls above the gum line when it’s been decayed, broken, damaged, or (in the case of a bridge), missing. Crowns can be made from porcelain fused to metal or ceramic and are often difficult to distinguish from natural teeth.
- Implants: Dental implants replacing missing teeth in the jawbone with a titanium post and a crown. They look and function like a natural tooth and typically don’t require replacement for many years.
