If you have concerns with imperfections, such as teeth stains or even misshapen or damaged teeth, we could help. In fact, we can provide cosmetic dentistry to transform the teeth in as little as a single visit in some cases! In today’s blog, the team at Dreem Dentistry talks about helping smiles with cosmetic dentistry in Leawood, KS.
Starting with a Cosmetic Consultation
To help start your journey to an attractive smile, we want to look closely at your smile. With a dental examination, we will look at your smile with digital intraoral cameras and x-rays, so we can assess the cause and severity of your esthetic imperfections. From there, we can create a treatment plan to take these on, helping reshape your smile and offering a more attractive appearance, often in as little as one to two visits. In fact, some treatments can offer a smile makeover, such as our custom porcelain veneers. Cosmetic dentistry can also help improve bite balance in some cases, boosting your oral health and bite function in the process.
Removing Stains with Teeth Whitening
Do you have stained teeth? If so, we can choose from two different teeth whitening treatments to offer you a brighter smile. The in-office option provides results in only one visit, one to two hours tops. With this option, we will use a combination of a powerful bleaching gel and a special light to remove stains and brighten smiles, perfect is you need results before big events, first dates, or a job interview.
Cosmetic dentistry also allows our team to take on more severe stains with a take-home option. With this teeth whitening solution, we will create a set of custom plastic trays you take home with you, accompanied by several plastic syringes of bleaching gel. At gnome, you simply fill the trays with gel and wear them for a set amount of time each day. Over the course of a week to ten days, your smile can be multiple shades brighter, often as many as eight! The trays and any remaining gel are then yours should you need touch-ups down the road.
Reshaping Teeth with Porcelain Veneers
We touched on porcelain veneers earlier, but these are very thin dental restoration made from durable porcelain, which are attached to the front of your teeth. We shade them to blend with your smile and once in place, these can instantly change the shape and color of the teeth. Veneers can brighten teeth with stains too severe for teeth whitening, lengthen worn-down teeth, fill in gaps between the teeth, and even reshape malformed ones. We can repair minor damage and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment too, so you can have a straighter looking smile without orthodontics. In two visits, this could make major changes to your smile!
Safe Tooth Jewelry
Sometimes, we see people who want to attach jewelry to the front of their teeth. While this is fun, they can sometimes damage outer enamel and leave teeth vulnerable to decay or infection, particularly when the jewelry is removed at a late date. Which is why we offer a safe alternative with Twinkles® Tooth Jewelry. We can gently bond these to the front of your teeth, but we can remove them later with ease. They do not leave behind any marks on your teeth, and they prevent damage to your smile!
Our Invisalign® Aligners
Do you have misalignment? If so, you may feel uncomfortable about your smile’s appearance, and your oral health and bite function can suffer too! Our team wants to help and we can do so with a cosmetic approach. Instead of metal braces, we can provide custom aligners made from a clear plastic material. You then wear a set every day for about 20 to 23 hours on average. Each set is worn for two weeks, and then you begin wearing the next set in the series as your smile is gradually and gently corrected. For some, optimal results could take as little as one year! Fewer office visits, no metal braces, and the removability of your aligners means a much easier time with meals and brushing and flossing.
