Cosmetic dentistry offers solutions to almost any cosmetic defect in your teeth to enhance the appearance of your smile. You’ll get more from your cosmetic treatment(s) by choosing an experienced cosmetic dentist to help you achieve your smile goals! In Hood River, Oregon, Dr. Kevin Prates from Heights Family Dental is the person to see to create your ideal smile with cosmetic dentistry.
In this post, Dr. Prates and our team explore seven cosmetic secrets to a healthy, stunning smile!
1. Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a quick and easy way to enhance a dull, dingy smile. In-office bleaching treatments are fast, safe, and effective, producing instant whitening results! Your Hood River, OR dentist uses professional grade whitening products and modern whitening techniques to break down stains caused by coffee, wine, tobacco and tea and restore your smile’s radiant appearance.  Â
2. Gum Contouring
An attractive smile is one that’s well-proportioned, displaying equal amounts of teeth and gum tissue. If more gum tissue shows when you smile than teeth, you have what’s known as a gummy smile. Gummy smiles can be corrected with gum contouring. Dr. Prates will reshape your gum line to give your smile a more uniform, pleasing appearance.
3. Dental Bonding
Bonding makes use of tooth-colored composite resin material to improve your smile’s aesthetics. Bonding can be used to renew, reshape, or recontour teeth that are worn, damaged, misshapen, or slightly uneven to give your smile a healthier, more youthful appearance.
4. Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain coverings that fit seamlessly over the surface of flawed teeth to give your smile a whole new look! Veneers can correct a myriad of dental imperfections in the same treatment to give your smile an instant makeover! At Heights Family Dental, we use veneers to close tooth gaps, reshape odd-looking teeth, conceal stains, and give slightly crooked teeth the appearance of being straight and even.
5. Orthodontics
Crooked teeth, bad bites, gaps between teeth, and crowding issues can all be corrected with orthodontics. Straightening your teeth with braces or aligners can totally transform your smile! In the process, you’ll notice your teeth functioning much better, allowing you to eat more comfortably and enjoy more of the foods you love.
6. Cosmetic Crowns
Although crowns are known for their restorative properties, they also help improve your smile’s aesthetic appeal. Crowns cover tooth stains, conceal tooth damage, and improve the size and shape of irregular teeth to improve your smile’s symmetry. They infuse new life into unsightly teeth to give your smile a dazzling, healthy-looking appearance.
7. Dental Implants
Missing teeth can be restored with implants, eliminating unsightly gaps in your smile. Implant crowns, bridges, and dentures are custom-designed to restore your smile’s original beauty. Implants mimic the structure, shape, and color of natural teeth, down to their translucent appearance. An implant smile looks so real, there’s no telling the difference.
