5 Ways to Enhance Your Smile

Thanks to advancements in cosmetic and restorative dental technology, improving your smile is easier and more effective than ever. Here are a few popular options:

1. Veneers
A veneer is a very thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth structure, allowing you to fix the look of stained, misaligned, chipped or cracked teeth.

2. Bonding
Bonding can be used for a variety of smile-enhancing applications, including correcting cracks or gaps in teeth, filling after a cavity, or covering up discolored teeth.

3. Crowns
While bonding is often a sufficient way to repair damaged teeth, some instances require a crown. Capped over the damaged tooth, a porcelain crown is matched to the shade of your other teeth so it blends in and appears completely natural.

4. Dental bridges
Dental bridges utilize your existing teeth to create a “bridge” that crosses the area where the tooth is missing. 

5. Teeth whitening
Coffee, wine and certain foods have the ability to stain teeth, which is why maintaining pearly whites can be surprisingly difficult. Teeth whitening is an easy and effective way to restore the natural color of your teeth and, if desired, make them even whiter than they were before.
