5 Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures 

Do you want to enhance your smile but aren’t sure which cosmetic procedure is right for you? 

You’ve come to the right place! 

This short blog post from White Dental Spa will break down the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments and help you decide. 

1. Teeth Whitening 

Teeth whitening is a simple, non-invasive cosmetic treatment and perhaps the fastest and simplest way to revamp your smile. 

You can get the treatment in the office or ask one of our dentists to prepare a custom-made at-home whitening kit. Regardless, you can rest assured that we will whiten your teeth while also taking teeth and gum sensitivity into account and coming up with the best plan to give you amazing results. 

2. Dental Veneers 

Dental veneers can help you transform your entire smile as they can be used to cover countless imperfections like gaps, stains, chips, and even misalignments. 

Veneers are very thin shells that are bonded to the surface of a tooth. They are made to match the color of your teeth, so you can rest assured that they will blend seamlessly and offer natural-looking results. 

3. Invisalign 

While Invisalign often falls under the category of orthodontic treatment, it also has a cosmetic effect. 

Invisalign uses a set of plastic trays to put pressure on your teeth and gently move them into the correct position. Invisalign is ideal for mild and moderate cases of misalignments like open bites, underbites, crossbites, etc. 

4. Dental Implants 

A dental implant will restore both the function and look of your smile. The implant is placed inside the bone, acting like the root of a natural tooth. This makes the implant feel just like natural teeth and you will be able to bite, chew, and talk to them without any problems. 

Although implants don’t have an exclusive cosmetic purpose, the result is also a stunning and healthy-looking smile. 

5. Dental Bonding 

Dental bonding is similar to veneers, though less invasive. This resin material can be used to cover small chips and cracks or gaps between teeth. Unlike veneers, which require a bit of enamel shaving, bonding is directly applied to the tooth without any special preparation. 

Which Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure Is Right for Me? 

The only way we can answer this question is by examining your oral health first and having an honest conversation with you about your desires and expectations. 

Then, we can make a recommendation based on our observations. 

Both Dr. E-Jan Tung and Dr. Quinn Liu think that dentistry should be personalized. If two patients come in with the same problem, they may leave with different treatment plans, because our dentists like to look at each individual factor when treating you. 

So, if you are looking for a unique, pain and stress-free dental experience, don’t hesitate to book your appointment with White Dental Spa.
