If issues with your teeth make you want to stop smiling, you need to learn about cosmetic dentistry! Your San Diego, CA, dentist, Dr. Edmund Jay, offers a variety of smile-enhancing procedures and services that will improve your look and change the way you feel about your appearance.
Bonding
Dr. Jay dentist may recommend bonding to correct minor damage or change the appearance of your teeth. Treatment entails that your San Diego dentist adds soft composite resin to your teeth before hardening and bonding the material with a curing light. Bonding can hide imperfections (discolorations, chips, cracks, etc.) extend the length of teeth and improve their shape.
Teeth whitening
Does your dull smile make you want to hide your teeth behind your hand when you talk? If so, you'll be happy to hear that professional teeth whitening can successfully get rid of stains caused by smoking, aging, and consuming dark-colored foods and beverages, leaving your teeth several shades whiter! Whitening can be accomplished through two methods: an hour appointment in-office, or at home with a dentist-provided whitening kit.
Crowns
Dental crowns restore the normal shape and height of broken teeth, as well as protect cracked teeth from breaking. Crowns also improve your appearance by concealing discolorations, lengthening short teeth, and making oddly shaped teeth look more uniform.
Invisalign
Using a system of clear aligner trays to gradually realign teeth over time, Invisalign is a popular orthodontic option that is used to straighten smiles in a discreet fashion. Each removable tray is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. You'll wear these trays for 22 hours per day, taking them out to whevener it's time to eat or clean your teeth.
Dental implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth from the roots to the crowns. During the first step in the implant process, titanium posts are added to your jawbone, replacing your natural tooth roots. These posts then gradually bond to your jawbone before being topped with dental crowns. With proper care, your implants can last for your entire life!
