At St. Mary’s Dental in Mechanicsville MD we use cosmetic dentistry to transform the smiles of our patients. But, what exactly does cosmetic dentistry mean? How does it differ from other types of dentistry? What are the benefits? Our team hears these questions often and they have put together a list of cosmetic dentistry techniques so you can stay informed.
First things first; what is cosmetic dentistry? Unlike general dentistry, which deals with the health of teeth, cosmetic dentistry largely deals with the aesthetics of the mouth. However, often the support that cosmetic dentistry procedures add to preexisting general dentistry procedures far outweighs the appearance-based benefits.
At our practice, we use the techniques of cosmetic dentistry to make positive changes to your smile. The transformations are quite remarkable, if we do say so ourselves!
Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
- Teeth whitening: We offer in-office and take-home teeth whitening options to brighten and rejuvenate your teeth.
- Porcelain veneers: One of our most popular procedures, veneers are protective shells placed around your teeth in order to smoothen out their appearance and get rid of staining or any discoloration.
- Bonding: Also called cosmetic dental bonding, this procedure makes use of tooth-colored composite resin to fix small gaps and deformations. It is the perfect option for patients who need one or two teeth fixed, but don’t want to go through the hassle of a long, multiple-visit procedure.
- Dental implants: If you need help with missing teeth, dental implants are your best option!
- Clear braces: At our practice, we offer both Invisalign® and ClearCorrect™ clear braces. Both have advantages. You and your dentist will decide which one fits best for your specific issues.
A beautiful smile is the sum of its parts. Our goal is to bring the teeth, skeletal structures, and muscles into harmony. It’s a complicated endeavor, and requires a thorough understanding of how all of these components relate to one another. Any one of the techniques listed above will go a long way toward transforming your smile. Two or more can leave you with the smile of your dreams.
