What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of oral health care focused on improving the aesthetic appearance of your gums, teeth, mouth, and smile. In most cases, cosmetic dentistry isn’t medically necessary. However, these treatments can improve your confidence and self-esteem.
Are there different types of cosmetic dentistry?
At Riverside Dental Associates, the team offers several types of cosmetic dentistry, including:
Dental implants
Dental implants are oral prosthetics that mimic the strength and durability of your natural teeth. Getting dental implants involves your Riverside Dental Associates provider surgically placing a series of small metal posts into the spaces where your teeth used to be. Following surgery, your bone grows around the implants, fusing them to your jaw.
Teeth whitening
Teeth-whitening treatments eradicate stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth. At Riverside Dental Associates, the team offers both in-office teeth whitening and take-home whitening trays. Teeth whitening is safe, effective, and provides near-instant results.
Invisalign®
Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment that uses a series of flexible, nearly invisible plastic aligners to gradually straighten and reposition your teeth. Invisalign provides stunning results and doesn’t rely on brackets, wires, or rubber bands. This means easier cleaning and no food restrictions.
Implant-supported dentures
If you wear traditional dentures but don’t like how they slip and slide around, you may want to consider implant-supported dentures. Traditional dentures use sticky adhesives to stay in place. Implant-supported dentures rely on dental implants. If you have implant-supported dentures, chewing, speaking, and biting is much easier. Caring for implant-supported dentures is always easy. You simply brush and floss, like you would your natural teeth.
Which type of cosmetic dentistry is right for me?
Only a qualified dentist like those at Riverside Dental Associates can determine what type of cosmetic dentistry is right for you. Following an oral exam, review of your medical history, and discussion of your goals for treatment, your provider can develop a custom treatment plan that aligns with your individual goals and needs.
