A beautiful smile can make a person feel confident. Bright white teeth show the world that you take pride in your appearance. A good first impression is what many employers go by when hiring for the workplace, and a beautiful set of teeth can set one apart from the competition. If your smile isn’t up to par, then a consultation with Cosmetic Dentistry in Park Ridge may be the answer.
There are so many ways to enhance your smile. Teeth whitening, dental implants, veneers, and crowns can all help to improve the appearance of cracked, chipped, crooked, discolored, or missing teeth. While injury, accidents, or illness can damage teeth, Beyond Smiles of Park Ridge has a team of professionals who can restore and correct what’s wrong. The end result is a beautiful smile that will hopefully last a lifetime.
For many patients, whitening is all that’s needed to make teeth sparkle. In-office bleaching is a non-invasive procedure that can lighten the color of tooth enamel by 3-5 shades or more. If a tooth cannot be whitened or needs extra protection after a dental procedure such as a root canal, a crown may be necessary. A crown provides extra strength and structure and is made to replicate the size and shape of the tooth it is encapsulating. When a tooth is not a good candidate for other types of restorative treatment, a crown can offer both protection and a beautiful visual appearance.
For people with missing teeth, dental implants, and dentures can fill in the gaps. Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. A new root, usually made from titanium, is surgically implanted into the jaw where it is allowed to fuse with the living bone. When the root is strong enough, a crown is attached to it. Implants look and act like natural teeth and are virtually undetectable. While implants can be quite costly, dentures offer a less expensive solution. Partial dentures are used to fill in spaces between teeth and full dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing. Unlike implants, dentures are removable.
Cosmetic Dentistry in Park Ridge also offers veneers as a solution to cover up damaged or oddly spaced teeth. A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain that is adhered to the front of a tooth after a small layer of the enamel has been removed. Veneers, like other forms of cosmetic dentistry, can drastically improve a person’s smile.
