You can easily renew your smile with cosmetic dentistry. Problem teeth can be completely transformed through a variety of cosmetic dental procedures, including bonding, teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, and porcelain veneers. Dr. James Walton and Dr. David Cardman in Tallahassee, FL, can recommend specific procedures for helping you renew your smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are a discreet and aesthetically-pleasing alternative to metal fillings, such as silver amalgam or gold. Tooth-colored fillings are made from composite resin that can be color-matched to your teeth, which means the fillings will blend right in and be inconspicuous to others. Dr. Walton and Dr. Cardman, your Tallahassee, FL, dentists can help you decide if tooth-colored fillings are the right option for you.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers make it possible to easily conceal imperfections, such as discolorations or stains. Veneers are extremely thin, like a wafer, and are placed over the front surface of problem teeth to give those teeth a flawless appearance. Veneers are custom made, therefore, the size, shape, and color are a perfect fit and match for each patient. Additionally, the porcelain material used to make veneers looks just like tooth enamel, so they look completely natural.
Bonding
Bonding makes it possible to repair cracked or chipped teeth by sealing cracks or filling in chipped areas. A liquid resin material is applied to problem areas. The resin permanently bonds with the tooth as it dries, so that it becomes inseparable from it. The resin closely matches the look of natural teeth, so the bonded area will be indistinguishable from the actual tooth once dry. It will look as though the tooth was never cracked or chipped.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to renew your smile. In-office teeth whitening delivers the fastest and longest lasting results. Your teeth can be several shades whiter after just one treatment session and the results can last for years. Alternatively, take-home whitening kits are also available that also utilize a high quality bleaching agent to quickly whiten the teeth by several shades in just a few weeks.
