Indeed, complications such as cracks, stains, chips, and even gaps in-between teeth can impact your self-esteem and appearance, and they are often one of the first things someone notices about your smile. Fortunately, our team is prepared to help with conservative cosmetic dentistry. In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS dentist explains how dental porcelain not only provides a lifelike appearance but how it can address a myriad of discrepancies in one fell swoop.

How Cosmetic Blemishes Come to Be

It goes without saying that there are countless factors that impact our teeth. From consuming foods and beverages that contain staining pigments, to falling and injuring yourself, and everything else in-between. Because of this, it is no wonder that blemishes such as stains, chips, and cracks arise.

Unfortunately, noticeable blemishes can cause your otherwise perfect smile to appear misaligned, uneven, and unkempt. What’s more? It can significantly impact a person’s view of themself and even cause people to feel anxious or paranoid about revealing their smile altogether.

While annoying, cosmetic blemishes are not all that uncommon. In fact, many people face their effects every year, and many others seek over-the-counter whitening treatments to help improve their shine. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in to help, as it can provide a simple solution to a variety of cosmetic concerns. For more information about this process, reach out to our team today.

Not an Extensive Process

Contrary to popular belief, many cosmetic dental procedures are relatively conservative in nature, taking care to address your issues on a purely surface level. What’s more? Treatment such as whitening or bonding and contouring may require only one visit to complete!

A problem that arises when handling noticeable blemishes, however, is when the type and extent vary throughout a person’s grin. For instance, whitening is good for stains and increasing shine, but is not as effective against cracks and chips. Because of this, one of the more versatile options our team offers involves porcelain veneers.

A Beautiful Solution

Porcelain veneers consist of ultra-thin shells of dental porcelain that are hand-crafted to mimic the natural texture and appearance of your teeth. They are placed on the front of your oral structures and secured with dental cement, offering a permanent solution to a variety of cosmetic blemishes.

Arguably one of the best features of veneers is their ability to mimic your natural teeth in a lifelike manner. What’s more? Our team is able to shade-match your veneers to your smile, offering a seamless solution to your cosmetic concerns.
