If these scenarios describe you don’t beat yourself up over it. Your smile is really that important, and you deserve to feel confident and assured of yourself. Your trusted cosmetic dentist understands how you feel and has a way to solve this problem.

Sociologists have a theory called ‘self-concept,’ which says that the image you have of yourself translates into the success that you naturally aspire to. Cosmetic dentistry is an avenue to this better, more improved version. And your dentist in Weatherford is here to guide you through the process.

3 Types of Cosmetic Dentistry

These three types of cosmetic dentistry are geared toward delivering exciting results without exciting your budget, while also saving you precious time.

Porcelain Veneers – Are you dealing with chipped, stained, discolored, unevenly spaced, or slightly crooked teeth? If so, porcelain veneers offer a remedy.

The protocol involves an initial pre-operative visit (the number of visits depends on the complexity of your situation), which includes a discussion of the details of your treatment and                          evaluation of the final look you desire. After settling on a design for your veneers, your specs will be sent off for fabrication. The final step will be for you to come in for fitting over the front                of your teeth.

Metal-Free Restorations – This process involves the use of metal-free, all-porcelain restorations to correct damaged and decayed teeth, while strengthening them. Also, dental porcelain is able to replicate the durability of the original state of your teeth.

This offers more than just cosmetic appeal. It also addresses functionality, as having restored teeth wards off the evil effects of facial collapse and jawbone loss, while allowing you to better                chew and digest your food.

Direct Bonding – Another wonder of cosmetic dentistry, direct bonding allows your dentist to repair small chips, cracks or gaps in your tooth by applying thin layers of composite resin, and then sculpting the tooth to a perfect shape like an artist.

After you approve the final look, your dentist will then quickly harden the material with a curing light. The entire process is one of the fastest in cosmetic dentistry.

The Final Word is Dental Care

The best way to protect your new smile is to keep it simple, and make sure to brush your teeth thoroughly and floss at least twice daily. Along with these standards, be sure to visit your dentist every six months for cleaning and examination.
