People choose aesthetic dental procedures/surgery for various reasons-to repair a defect such as a malformed bite or crooked teeth, treat an injury, or just improve their overall appearance. Whatever the reason, the ultimate goal is to restore a beautiful smile.
For these and many other reasons, aesthetic dentistry has become a vital and important part of the dental profession.
Common aesthetic dental procedures can be performed to correct misshaped, discolored, chipped or missing teeth. They also can be used to change the overall shape of teeth-from teeth that are too long or short, have gaps, or simply need to be reshaped.
Some of the more common procedures involve:
- Bonding - A procedure in which tooth-colored material is used to close gaps or change tooth color.
- Contouring and reshaping - A procedure that straightens crooked, chipped, cracked or overlapping teeth.
- Veneers - A procedure in which ultra-thin coatings are placed over the front teeth. Veneers can change the color or shape of your teeth. For example, veneers have been used to correct unevenly spaced, crooked, chipped, oddly shaped or discolored teeth. Recent advancements allow this option to be minimally invasive and without long appointments, shots and temporary teeth, the cost is a fraction of traditional porcelain veneers.
- Deep Laser Whitening and bleaching - As the term implies, whitening and bleaching, a rapidly increasing procedure, are used to make teeth whiter.
- Clear aligner therapy is a clear, comfortable alternative way to gently straighten and align teeth without metal braces. Dr. Aragona is a certified and experienced dentist in all major products for this treatment along with over 25 years of experience as a general dentist who has treated hundreds of patients with traditional orthodontics. This is key in that he will be able to use all the available technology and experience to get the results you want.
- Snap on Smile™ is a great inexpensive way to test drive a new smile that is removable and completely non invasive.
