COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Cosmetic dentistry consists of a group of dental procedures, all of which are intended to improve the appearance of your smile. Many people sustain chips or cracks in their teeth or have discolored teeth that are unappealing.

Cosmetic dentistry can help overcome these issues, as well as filling in the gaps for any missing teeth you may have. Gaps between your teeth can also be corrected by certain cosmetic dentistry procedures.

In short, there is a whole catalog of potential procedures which can be used to improve your smile. When you visit a professional cosmetic dentist, you will:

first be asked what your goals and objectives are relative to your smile.
then the dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth and determine your suitability for specific cosmetic procedures.

One such procedure are dental veneers.

These are thin shells colored to match the existing teeth in your mouth, and they get attached to the front surface of your teeth so as to improve your appearance.
There are generally made from a resin composite material or from porcelain and are permanently bonded to your front teeth.
They can be used to hide chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, and they can also add to the size of teeth that are smaller than normal.

You can then discuss with Dr. Maitri Patel whether or not you are eligible for procedures that will improve your smile.

A plan can then be developed to help you achieve whatever it is you’re trying to improve with your smile.

Once cosmetic dentistry has upgraded your smile, you’ll feel much better about your personal appearance, and your self-confidence will undergo a huge boost.

We can offer quite a variety of cosmetic dental procedures at Dr. Maitri Patel’s dental clinic in Ocoee, FL. These procedures can impact your life by not only giving you back your confidence in smiling but will also improve your overall oral health with function.

If your teeth have simply become stained over the years from drinking tea or coffee, we can upgrade your smile through teeth whitening. A whiter smile is always much more attractive and appealing than stained or discolored teeth.

For severely discolored teeth, you might want to consider dental veneers, which are custom-made shells made of resin or porcelain. These shells are applied to the front teeth in pairs to hide any cracked or chipped teeth, as well as those that are discolored.

Chips, cracks, and misshapen teeth can also be restored using dental bonding. This procedure uses a putty-like resin that gets applied to the tooth and then shaped to exact specifications.

Dental crowns can be applied to your teeth to replace teeth that have been damaged or decayed above the gum line. They can also strengthen a tooth that has been weakened, and they are sometimes used to hold a cracked tooth together.

As you can see, there are a variety of procedures we can use to improve the functionality of your teeth, and their appearance as well.
