Keep reading to learn about all of the possibilities that await you at your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springhettidentistry.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">Carmel dentist\u2019s practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosmetic Dentistry: What Are the Options?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is something you\u2019ve been wanting to change about your smile, you\u2019re not alone. In fact, according to studies, the cosmetic dentistry market is estimated to reach 33 billion in spending by 2026! Depending on what your goals are for your smile, here are several cosmetic dental options your dentist can help you choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These thin, but extremely strong, tooth-colored shells are perfect for fixing flaws such as chips, tough stains, and even gaps in your smile. Your dentist will match the color of the shell to the rest of your natural teeth, and once the final product has been crafted, they will adhere it to the front of the affected tooth. One important thing to note about veneers is that the natural tooth does have to be slightly altered before the shell goes on, so they are a lifelong commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal-Free Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before cosmetic dental technology advanced to where it is today, dental restorations, such as crowns, were made of a silver-colored metal called amalgam. Nowadays, your dentist uses porcelain crowns that look exactly like the natural tooth, as opposed to being darker and extremely noticeable. Even if you have older amalgam restorations, your dentist can replace them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosmetic Bonding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are someone who has a minor gap or chip between or in one of your teeth, cosmetic bonding is a great option for you. Using a composite resin, your dentist will mold it into the shape of your natural tooth and use a curing light to harden it and physically bond it to your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably the most common cosmetic dental procedure that is chosen. It\u2019s safe and effective, and unlike over-the-counter products, it doesn\u2019t take months to show a difference. Plus, it has a proven track record to work for you. If you choose in-office whitening, your dentist will use state-of-the-art technology to brighten your teeth by several shades in under an hour. If you want to go a more subtle route, they can also offer you convenient take-home kits for you to whiten on your own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gum Recontouring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever looked at someone\u2019s smile and felt that there was just something \u201coff\u201d about it, but you couldn\u2019t put your finger on what it was, it may be that their smile was too \u201cgummy.\u201d It sounds like a funny term, but a lot of people have gums that tend to cover their teeth more than the average smile. If you find yourself noticing this about your own gums, your dentist can perform a procedure that is quick and painless where they remove excess gum tissue, revealing more of your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has never been a better time to get the smile you\u2019ve always wanted. Talk to your dentist about your personal goals, and let them help you find the cosmetic procedure that\u2019s right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Aaron Springhetti\u2019s favorite part about being a cosmetic dentist is that he gets to give his patients the gift of transformed smiles.
