Transforming your smile has never been easier or more convenient with the help of cosmetic dentistry<\/a>. In fact, you may be able to make life-altering changes that you never thought possible in as little as two visits to your dentist. Here\u2019s a closer look at some popular procedures and how they can help give you the gorgeous, glowing grin you\u2019ve always wanted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to change your tooth shape, size, color, minor spacing issues or all of the above, veneers could be the solution. These thin, porcelain shells fit over your teeth to transform them in ways you may never have thought possible, all in about two appointments! Best of all, with proper care and use, your new smile can last up to 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Dental Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you open your mouth to eat, speak, or smile, are you showing more to the world than you\u2019d like to? If you\u2019ve had metal dental restorations in the past, you may not wish to broadcast it, but those dark, unsightly metal fillings and crowns have a way of stealing the spotlight. Thankfully, metal-free dental restorations can replace them and blend seamlessly into your smile, so nobody ever has to know you\u2019ve had dental work done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For teeth that are chipped, uneven, deeply stained, or that have minor gaps, direct bonding can quickly repair them in under 30 minutes. These restorations use the same materials your dentist uses for metal-free fillings and are durable and strong, so you can use them to eat a full diet. Treatment with direct bonding is much more affordable than other options and can last up to five years with proper care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have deep stains or discoloration on your teeth? Opalescence teeth whitening can remove up to eight shades within just a few short weeks, helping reveal the whiter, brighter smile you may not have thought possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altenbach Clear Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you been thinking about orthodontic aligners but always thought they were out of your budget? Altenbach clear aligners may be the solution. These 3D printed trays are made right in your dentist\u2019s office, eliminating the \u201cmiddleman\u201d and allowing you to save time and money receiving treatment in one convenient location. Best of all, they can be used to correct a variety of bite problems, and because they\u2019re removable, there are no dietary restrictions, clunky equipment, or difficulties keeping your teeth and gums healthy during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, gone are the days when you had to settle for a smile that wasn\u2019t exactly what you wanted it to be. With cosmetic dentistry treatment, the options are as wide as your gorgeous grin, so schedule a consultation today to learn more about your options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
