Let’s face it, you have a less than perfect smile. You live with several imperfections that cause you to feel insecure about your appearance. While you know your cosmetic dentist in Naples can give you the results you want, you do not want to spend money on something that is purely aesthetic. What if cosmetic dentistry could also improve the health of your teeth? It can! There are several elective treatments that will promote your oral health and your confidence.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
In the past, cavities were commonly treated with amalgam fillings. While they are affordable and effective, they come with several disadvantages. Not only are they dark in color, but they also require the removal of healthy tooth and they contain mercury. As an alternative, you can choose tooth-colored fillings.
The fillings are made from composite materials, so there is no risk of mercury exposure. They can be customized to match your enamel color to look natural. They also improve the structure of your tooth because wedges are not needed to place the filling.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are false fronts bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to cover several issues, like discoloration, chips, and minor alignment concerns. They allow you to achieve drastic results when transforming your smile, but that is not their only benefit.
By using them to cover chips and cracks, you give your teeth an added layer of protection to help seal out bacteria from the compromised structure. By correcting the alignment of your teeth, you make them easier to clean, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
KOR Teeth Whitening
Believe it or not, professional teeth whitening can improve your oral health. The KOR whitening system uses a highly concentrated whitening agent to get your teeth several shades whiter; however, it also helps to control the pH levels in your mouth. This helps to reduce plaque, bacteria, and tooth decay to keep your smile healthy.
Cosmetic Bonding
Often, cosmetic bonding is used to change the size, shape, and color of your teeth. It can resolve gummy smiles by making your teeth appear longer, or it can fix broken teeth. When used to correct chips and cracks, it provides a less invasive alternative to dental crowns while restoring your tooth’s health and structure.
Invest in Your Smile
