An attractive smile immensely contributes to your personality. On the other hand, the concept of beauty is different for different people and not everyone thinks they have a beautiful smile. 

If you are among those who want to improve their smiles, then cosmetic dentistry is the solution for you.

In this blog, our team of experts at Dental Specialists of North Florida in Saint Augustine and Palm Coast, Florida, explains the different cosmetic dentistry procedures you can opt for to enhance your smile.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes specific dental treatments and procedures that can improve your smile and your overall appearance. Some of the most popular cosmetic treatments include: 

• Teeth Whitening

If you are looking for a treatment that can brighten your teeth and give you fast results without burning a hole in your pocket, teeth whitening is the solution for you. 

Professional teeth whitening solutions are available both in-office and for home use, in the form of trays. Depending on your needs, our dentists can recommend the most suitable option.

• Teeth Shaping

Our dentists use this treatment method to shape your teeth by filling in or removing part of the enamel for a better appearance. The procedure is painless and the results are immediate.

• Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin shell-like covers made from porcelain or composite resin. They are fitted over the prepared tooth to fix imperfections like broken, chipped, or uneven teeth. Dental veneers also help strengthen the enamel. 

• Enamel Abrasion

This treatment uses fine pumice in a micro-abrasion machine to get rid of stains on the teeth. Enamel abrasion helps remove discoloration and stubborn extrinsic stains.

• Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatments help straighten uneven teeth and comprise a variety of options like ceramic tooth-colored braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners like Invisalign. This is a good choice for people who don't want metal brackets and wires in their mouths. 

The type of brace suitable for you will be decided by the dentist based on your specific requirements.
