Dental team in Kennesaw provides FAQ's on Cosmetic dentistry
Is cosmetic dentistry worth it? Why or why not?
Studies show a smile leaves a memorable first impression. People are more attracted to those who have beautiful smiles. Smiling releases endorphins, which can boost the mood. In comparison to general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of the smile. After boosting the aesthetics of their smiles, patients are more committed to keeping their smiles healthy. Beautiful and healthy smiles can benefit overall health. Whether it is teeth whitening or a tooth restoration, cosmetic dentistry is worth your consideration.
What can cosmetic dentistry do?
Cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile. A variety of treatments is used ranging from teeth whitening to brighten the smile to veneers to cover minor imperfections. Dental crowns and bridges can improve the health, function, and beauty of the smile. Utilizing natural-looking materials such as porcelain and composite resin can ensure optimal results. Composite resin is used for bonding and fillings. Porcelain is ideal for crowns placed on the teeth that show when smiling.
Cosmetic dentists combine their technical and artistic expertise to restore health and beauty to the smile. A cosmetic treatment can be highly beneficial, improving confidence and self-esteem. Many patients are more inclined to maintain excellent oral hygiene habits when they love their smiles.
How can I maintain an attractive smile after cosmetic treatment?
From the time you wake up until bedtime, you may be busy accomplishing a myriad of tasks. However, do not forget two important habits – brushing and flossing. It is also critical to schedule check-ups with your dentist at least biannually. If you maintain these habits, you can help ensure the health as well as the beauty of your smile.
One of the most popular cosmetic treatments in dentistry is teeth whitening. Does it really work?
Yes, a professional teeth whitening treatment at the dental office does work. Coffee, tea, berries, sauces, and tobacco use can leave tooth stains over time. Teeth whitening treatments are ideal for patients who have healthy teeth and desire brighter smiles. An at-home treatment affords the convenience of whitening the smile in the comfort of your home. You can enjoy your dazzling smile for years with periodic touchups.
