Cosmetic Dentistry
For many people, confidence in their appearance is linked to confidence in their smiles. Cosmetic dental problems can lead to self-consciousness and discomfort when talking to others. Cosmetic dentistry from your dentist in Watertown, SD, can restore your smile and give you back confidence in your appearance.
The professionals at Family Dental Center are committed to providing expertise in cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Cosmetic Gum Shaping
Do you have a “gummy” smile? Is your gumline uneven, or are your teeth partially covered by extra gum tissue? If so, cosmetic gum shaping can help transform your appearance. Our cosmetic gum shaping can expose more tooth enamel to help you achieve your goals for your smile.
During the cosmetic gum shaping, the dentist will mark the new line of your gums with a pen. The gum will be shaped with a scalpel or a laser, to place your gum line where you prefer.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a composite resin material that can be attached to your tooth enamel to cover up cosmetic defects such as cracks and chips in your teeth. Dental bonding is tooth-colored and durable.
Once dental bonding is in place, it can remain attached to your teeth for up to 10 years, depending on where it is installed. Eventually, dental bonding chips off and must be reinstalled again.
Patients like dental bonding because it’s an effective and long-lasting solution. Patients also like dental bonding because it’s a minimally invasive option that’s completely reversible.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are covers that your dentist can place over the front of your teeth. Like dental bonding, dental veneers are designed to cover up cosmetic dentistry problems like chips, cracks, and gaps in your teeth. Dental veneers also cover up discolorations, giving your teeth an even, attractive appearance.
Unlike dental bonding, dental veneers require the tooth enamel to be shaved down to make room for the veneer. Once the tooth enamel has been removed, the dental veneer is placed on top.
Teeth Whitening
We all want white, beautiful teeth. If your teeth are yellowed, brown, or gray, teeth whitening can help make your tooth enamel several shades whiter. Teeth whitening is a long-lasting, effective procedure that can make your teeth whiter for years.
