Guide to Cosmetic Dentistry at Southborough Dental Partners
At Southborough Dental Partners, we understand that your smile is one of your most important features. It expresses joy, laughter, and confidence. Our Southborough dentist and the skilled dental team are experts in cosmetic dentistry, offering a range of treatments designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth and give you the smile you’ve always desired.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry includes procedures that improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. Unlike general dental care, which focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry aims to create a positive change to your teeth and smile.
Popular Cosmetic Dental Procedures
- Teeth Whitening: This is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to enhance your smile. Teeth can be bleached with in-office products or at-home kits to brighten your smile.
- Dental Veneers: These are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. Veneers can fix chips, cracks, misalignment, and discoloration.
- Dental Bonding: In this procedure, a tooth-colored resin is applied and hardened with a special light, ultimately “bonding” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile.
- Dental Crowns: Also known as caps, crowns are used to cover a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
- Invisalign: This modern approach to straightening teeth uses a custom-made series of aligners crafted for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Advanced Treatments
- Dental Implants: Used to replace missing teeth, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and act as anchors for crowns or dentures.
- Composite Fillings: Often preferred over silver amalgam fillings due to their natural appearance, composite fillings are used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc.
