Many people dream of having a straight, pearly white smile. In fact, cosmetic dental procedures are some of the most sought-after in the world. Cosmetic dentistry can not only improve the appearance of your smile but it can also provide various health benefits and even treat other oral problems. In this article, we’ll go over some of the various types of cosmetic dental procedures and where you can perfect your smile in the North Dallas Corridor.
 Veneers
Veneers are thin coverings that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to conceal dental imperfections including chips, cracks, and discoloration. Veneers can also fix misshapen teeth, and create larger teeth in cases where the teeth are too small. There are several different types of veneers, and each set is created custom for the patient’s teeth.
Crowns
Crowns are similar to veneers but are more of a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a broken or damaged tooth to strengthen and repair it. Like veneers, there are multiple different types, and you’ll need to discuss the proper treatment with your dentist prior to getting crowns.
Whitening
Tooth whitening includes any process that lightens the color of the teeth and removes stains. Staining of the teeth is common, especially in those that drink coffee, wine, or smoke cigarettes, which is part of the reason that tooth whitening is so common. There are multiple ways of whitening the teeth that should be discussed with your dentist prior to scheduling an appointment.Â
Invisalign
Invisalign is a gradual process of straightening your teeth through a series of plastic aligners that fit over the teeth. The clear aligners are similar to retainers and are removable for eating and brushing your teeth. Invisalign is a popular choice for straightening your teeth because, unlike braces, it is invisible.
