Did you know that in survey after survey, when people are asked what they first notice about someone else. It isn’t their nose, their body, or even their eyes, but it’s their smile! For the good or sometimes the bad, whether on a first date or a job interview, your smile is already making your first impression for you when meeting new people. So why not ensure it’s a good, I mean a great first impression through the advent of cosmetic dentistry!

Crowns and Bridges
If you have a tooth that is yellowed, cracked, stained, or chipped, a dental crown may be just the solution that you need. This process will replace the exterior of the tooth, helping to restore it’s original functionality and appearance.
Some of the more common reasons people may get a dental crown would be:
- To protect or restore an already weak or broken tooth from weakening or breaking further
- To support and cover a tooth which has a large filling when there is little tooth left
- For cosmetic purposes, such as covering a severely discolored tooth
- Sometimes they are used to hold a dental bridge in place
- or to cover a dental implant
If you have one or usually more consecutive teeth missing then you may be a candidate for a dental bridge, also known as a partial denture. Dental bridges can help to restore functionality in chewing and speaking, as well as help to restore the appearance of your smile literally by filling the gap in your teeth.
Veneers
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
Veneers are commonly used to fix:
- Teeth that are discolored either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
- Teeth with gaps between them
Tooth Colored Fillings
Sometimes fillings are used for more than just cavities. Such as if you have a tooth that’s been cracked, chipped or severely worn down due to nail biting teeth grinding. Tooth colored fillings can help to replace the tooth material that has been lost to not only help make the tooth structurally sound again, but look great as well!
