The Different Types of Cosmetic Dentistry

How cosmetic dentistry from your dentists in River Forest, Illinois can help your smile
Did you know that cosmetic dentistry can make your smile more appealing? It’s true! In fact, the world of cosmetic dentistry has revolutionized the way people feel about going to the dentist. Now, thanks to the latest tools, techniques, and dental materials, you can have a beautiful smile easily and quickly.

Dr. Gina Piccioni and Dr. John G. Hartmann at River Forest Dental Studio in River Forest, Illinois offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular different types of cosmetic dentistry:

Many people have chosen professional teeth whitening, as a way to achieve a whiter, brighter, younger-looking smile. Professional teeth whitening allows you to whiten and brighten your smile up to 8 shades, and your fantastic results can last up to 5 years too! Unlike many over-the-counter teeth whitening products, professional teeth whitening has been tested and approved by the American Dental Association, so you know it’s safe.

Another type of cosmetic dentistry provides restorative benefits to repair chips, cracks, and tooth wear, and makes your smile more attractive; it’s cosmetic bonding! This procedure uses composite, a versatile liquid filling material that can be matched to the color of your teeth, so it blends with your smile. In fact, it’s virtually undetectable when completed. The composite is sculpted into place as a liquid and then hardened with ultraviolet light. The result is a strong, beautiful restorative treatment that adds to the beauty of your smile.

Porcelain veneer treatment is yet another type of cosmetic dentistry procedure. Veneers are thin laminates of beautiful porcelain that are cemented onto the front surfaces of your teeth. It’s a versatile procedure that can hide large cracks, chips, tooth wear, and areas of lost tooth structure. You can have an outstanding smile in as little as two to three appointments, including a consultation appointment.

These are just a few of the cosmetic dentistry services you can think about. If your smile isn't all it could be, cosmetic dentistry can give you a smile you will love.
