Do you want to make over your smile? Are you looking for treatments that effectively whiten or straighten your smile?
Cosmetic dental services improve patients’ smiles’ shape, shade, and comfort. Additionally, cosmetic dental care can create healthier teeth and gums. Straightening crooked teeth, brightening the tooth enamel, and even covering dental injuries create a balanced smile. Patients who see results from our cosmetic dentistry treatments in East Cobb, GA are more motivated to care for their oral health.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover uses multiple types of cosmetic treatments to enhance the appearance of the teeth and gums. Dental problems we address with a smile makeover include missing teeth, tooth gaps, stained teeth, misaligned teeth, damaged teeth, and a gummy smile. Many patients can complete their smile makeover with Botox. Botox treats wrinkles and may address TMD problems, including headaches, jaw pain, and orofacial pain.
Since each person’s smile is unique, we start with a consultation to create a personalized treatment plan. We’ll do an oral examination and discuss your cosmetic goals, medical history, and any oral health problems you currently have. This allows us to assemble the services we think will best help your smile achieve beauty and optimal oral health. We want you to feel confident in your smile.
Using advanced dental technology, we can pinpoint the exact areas of your smile that need improvement. We use 3D imaging to capture an encompassing view of your entire mouth. This makes treatment more precise and ensures we focus on the correct areas.
Cosmetic Dentistry in East Cobb, GA
Our cosmetic dental services improve the overall health and appearance of patient’s smiles:
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain ceramic shells that cover tooth damage or discoloration. Our dental veneers are made of porcelain ceramic, a highly reflective material. Because porcelain ceramic is so reflective, it mimics the sheen of natural teeth. Dental veneers also benefit patients who want to treat teeth in their smile line.
ClearCorrect
As an alternative to traditional dental braces, ClearCorrect offers intuitive and comfortable treatment. Unlike braces, ClearCorrect aligners can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. ClearCorrect is a beneficial treatment for adults with mild to moderate orthodontic problems. To learn about straightening your teeth without braces, visit Clear aligners.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding treatment uses a biocompatible resin material that can cover tooth discoloration and dental injuries. Dr. Oliveira also provides anterior composite restorations, which address patients with large breaks or holes in their tooth enamel. She uses an expertly made instrument and polishing kit to create custom, natural-looking restorations. The composite bonding material adds to the damaged tooth structure and creates a more balanced smile.
Teeth Whitening
We offer KöR and take-home whitening kits for patients to whiten and maintain their results from whitening treatment. KöR whitening can use in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments that offer effective, long-lasting results. Patients can also take-home whitening to see gradual results or maintain their KöR treatment.
Gum Contouring
Dr. Oliveira offers gum contouring to reshape the gums. Gum contouring creates a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile. Dr. Oliveira offers contouring to create a more symmetrical look and may provide minor gum grafting for gum recession.
Why Get Cosmetic Dentistry?
People typically see cosmetic dentistry as something that only improves the aesthetics of your smile. And while it does improve that, many cosmetic problems have underlying oral health causes. When we perform cosmetic dentistry, we’re not just treating the visible effects of your cosmetic issues. We determine the root cause of the problem so we can treat the condition completely. Crooked teeth are a good example of this.
People who come to us with crooked teeth usually don’t like how they look. But crooked teeth can cause various different oral health issues. Crooked teeth are much harder to clean than straight teeth. They come together at odd angles and are often cramped. It can be hard to get floss in between them; sometimes, even our specialized dental tools can’t clean these areas. You’re at a high risk for tooth decay and gum disease even if you do everything right for your oral health.
When your bite comes together, the pressure distributes evenly throughout your teeth. When your teeth are crooked, your bite becomes uneven. Some teeth experience more pressure than others. These teeth wear down faster and are more prone to damage and decay. There’s more and more risk of this the longer you don’t correct crooked teeth.
An uneven bite is one of the top causes of TMJ disorders. When your bite is uneven, the jaw isn’t tracking normally. The muscles and ligaments around it become strained, and the jaw joint begins to break down. You may hear your jaw start to pop and click when you move it, experience pain throughout your face and head, or have difficulty moving your jaw or getting stuck in certain positions.
Some or all of these conditions can occur just from having crooked teeth. Solutions like ClearCorrect can subtly shift your teeth into the right alignment, lowering your risks of these dental issues.
Cosmetic Dental FAQs
Read answers to commonly asked questions about cosmetic dental problems and solutions:
Do I need porcelain veneers or dental bonding treatment?
Each patient is unique, so Dr. Oliveira recommends cosmetic treatment based on your goals and oral health needs. Dental veneers and tooth bonding treatments address similar problems but offer different treatments. Veneers cover the front of the tooth enamel. Dr. Oliveira can apply bonding material to the teeth’s top, bottom, or front.
What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile shows an excess of gums and shortens the teeth. Gummy smiles are a cosmetic problem we can address with gum contouring treatment. Gum contouring removes extra gum tissue, lengthening the teeth for a more balanced smile.
