What is behind your most beautiful smile? Cosmetic dentistry treatment from your Michigan dentist

Our smiles speak volumes. Without ever having to say a word, your smile will reveal a lot about you. In some cases, this can be detrimental. When our teeth are stained, crooked, misaligned, or missing altogether, we may show our smile very rarely, if at all. Knowing that the attractiveness of the smile is of great importance both socially and professionally, many people seek improvements through cosmetic dentistry treatments.

General dental care focuses on the health needs of teeth and gums, but cosmetic dentistry focuses on your needs for your desired appearance. There are cosmetic treatments that are solely for the visual enhancement of the smile, and others that may also be considered restorative in nature.

Restorative and Cosmetic

Over the years, there have been a number of significant advances in general dentistry. Rather than having only one choice for dental fillings, silver amalgam, our patients may now choose to have cavities repaired with tooth-colored composite resin fillings. Inlays and onlays are used for larger repairs, and may be made from composite material or porcelain, both of which blend in with natural teeth. Dental crowns, which used to be made from either gold or metal alloy, may now be fabricated from ceramic materials such as porcelain, or may feature a porcelain overlay atop a metal base. Although smile restoration is sometimes needed, there is no need to impact your natural appearance. Your skilled cosmetic dentist has the materials to preserve the beauty of your smile while improving oral health.

Your dentist knows what is needed for smile enhancement

Restoration is not the only time the smile may need some attention. What is nice about cosmetic dentistry treatments is that they are versatile.
