Cosmetic dentistry services and treatments provided by your Newtown, PA, dentist, Dr. Pier Cipriani, help you care for your smile. They're used to repair the damage, replace missing teeth, or change the way a tooth looks.
How cosmetic dentistry can help you
Cosmetic dentistry treatments are designed to improve the appearance and function of teeth. They can help you make your smile more attractive or improve your ability to bite and chew no matter what your age.
Cosmetic dentistry treatments don't have to be expensive or extensive
Many tooth issues don't require costly, extensive procedures. In fact, teeth whitening and bonding, two of the least expensive cosmetic dentistry treatments, can dramatically improve your smile.
Whitening removes dental stains from your tooth enamel in a single one-hour visit to the Newtown dental office. Professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel seeps deep into microscopic pores in your tooth enamel to break apart and remove dark pigments that cause stains.
Bonding involves adding a flexible material called composite resin to teeth. The material is hardened with a curing light, which also bonds it to your tooth enamel. Bonding can repair chips and cracks, hide discolorations, and close gaps. It's often paired with contouring and reshaping to eliminate overlapping areas of teeth or make them look straighter.
Treatments restore, repair, and revitalize teeth
Cosmetic dentistry treatments can:
- Repair and Protect Teeth: Your dentist may recommend a crown if you broke a tooth. Hollow crowns, also called gaps, fit on top of teeth, restoring the normal appearance of broken teeth. The restorations also strengthen weak teeth and reduce the risk of a fracture.
- Improve a Tooth's Appearance: Crowns can also be used to change the shape and length of teeth or hide imperfections. Veneers, another cosmetic dentistry option, only cover the fronts of teeth and require minimal changes to your teeth. The thin porcelain or plastic shells hide flaws and discolorations, conceal minor damage, close slight gaps, and improve the shape or length of teeth. They also provide a long-lasting way to whiten your smile.
- Straighten a Crooked Smile: Clear braces straighten teeth and correct mild-to-moderate orthodontic problems. The transparent trays fit snugly over teeth and exert gentle pressure needed for realignment.
- Restore Missing Teeth: Bridges, dentures and dental implants fill the gaps in your smile, improving your appearance and your biting and chewing ability.
