There are many beneficial reasons that people consider having cosmetic work done on their teeth. Because cosmetic dentist Long Beach can reverse the natural aging processes of teeth, some people may decide to have these procedures done for that reason alone.

Teeth Whitening

One of the more popular procedures performed by cosmetic dentists includes using a material designed to whiten teeth that is both painless and effortless. Patients must have healthy gums and all cavities filled prior to having professional tooth whitening done. While there are many teeth whitening systems available for home use, they generally only contain between 10 and 20 percent peroxide. This is why having whitening done at the dentist’s office is far more effective.

Veneers

Veneers are another popular cosmetic dental procedure that utilizes porcelain laminate to repair damage and improve appearance on the front of teeth. Veneers can also help improve self confidence, while dramatically changing a person's smile. Also, there are a variety of dental problems that may be corrected effectively with veneers. The procedure serves to repair imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps and crooked teeth, as well as brightening severely stained or discolored teeth.

Tooth Shaping

Tooth shaping is another process performed by cosmetic dentists. Shaping teeth can also help to create smiles that follow the contours of lower lips when pointed teeth are rounded off and longer teeth are shortened.

People who desire a better smile may have a variety of modern dentistry procedures performed that also include options and treatments like invisible braces. Often, the best results are accomplished by using a combination of these techniques.

Many people are self conscious about unattractive teeth so that they rarely smile. This can impact their social lives, as well as create an erroneous bad impression on everyone they encounter. Repairing teeth can positively impact the life of anyone who decides to have the usually simple procedures performed by a Long Beach dentistry facility.
