Porcelain Veneers
If you’ve ever watched a movie and admired a Hollywood actor’s perfect teeth, you’ve likely seen porcelain veneers at work. These thin sheets of ceramic material look just like tooth enamel and are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can be used to cover misshapen, discolored, gapped, chipped, and misaligned teeth. Instead of the little imperfections, all everyone will see is a perfectly uniform, yet natural-looking smile.
Metal-Free Restorations
When you have a cavity or get a tooth fixed, the last thing you want is a restoration made with dark, silvery metal to attract attention. This can be particularly concerning for the front teeth, which are more visible. Instead, we offer metal-free crowns, fillings, and other restorations that look completely natural and lifelike. With these porcelain and composite resin restorations, you can smile without worrying that others will be able to tell that you’ve had dental work done.
Direct Bonding
As an affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, direct bonding is another effective way to deal with aesthetic flaws. Using composite resin, we can fill in chipped, gapped, and cracked teeth. And what’s more, we can cover stubborn discoloration for a seamlessly beautiful smile. Whereas porcelain veneers require two appointments and involve removing a tiny part of the teeth’s enamel, direct bonding can be completed in one appointment and does not negatively affect your natural tooth structure at all.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
Do you drink a lot of coffee? Do you eat chocolate or tomato sauce on a regular basis? Along with tobacco use, medications, and genetics, these staining foods and drinks can make your teeth appear dull or yellow, especially over time. The good news is that we offer a convenient way to bring back a youthful glow to your smile. You can use our powerful whitening solution from the comfort of your home and see results up to eight shades brighter in about two weeks.
Botox® Cosmetic
Over the years, you’ve likely accumulated some wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, and forehead, but you don’t have to simply accept them as a normal part of aging. In fact, we offer a way to turn back the clock on your appearance. Dr. Camenzuli is an expert in oral and facial structures and can administer effective Botox® treatment in the right places to reduce the appearance of these fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure only takes a couple of minutes to complete and lasts for months at a time.
Smile Makeovers
Perhaps you know that your smile needs some work, but you aren’t sure exactly how to make it happen. Or maybe you worry that it would require too many procedures to achieve the kind of results you want. There is no smile that is too far gone for Dr. Camenzuli to help. During your consultation, he will examine your teeth and present treatment options that can help you finally have a confident smile in the most efficient way possible.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Cosmetic dentistry can work miracles for people who are unhappy with their smiles, but like any kind of dental work, there are some patients who have questions about these treatments that they want answered before they commit to anything.
Dr. Camenzuli will be happy to address any concerns that you have at a consultation, but before you meet him, here are some answers to questions that we tend to get a lot of.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
There are patients concerned about the discomfort associated with just about any dental procedure. Thankfully, cosmetic dentistry rarely has any pain associated with it, and we take care to make sure that you won’t feel much of anything at all during your treatment.
Frankly, in the case of cosmetic dentistry this isn’t especially difficult. Some of the most common procedures, like teeth whitening or direct bonding, are painless by design. If we do need to go below the surface for a treatment, like with veneers, we’ll be sure to numb your mouth completely before we begin.
The most you’ll feel is a little bit of tenderness in the days after your treatment, though this should be mild and go away on its own fairly quickly.
Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?
In recent years, cosmetic dentistry has become increasingly popular, and more dentists have begun focusing on it as central to their practice. This is partially because dental technology has progressed incredibly far, meaning that more people than ever have healthy enough smiles for cosmetic dentistry.
With the rise of social media, people are also more conscious of how they look than ever before. Dealing with aesthetic issues is incredibly desirable as a result.
Finally, cosmetic dentistry is now more affordable and available than ever. Treatments that used to be reserved for celebrities can now be enjoyed by anyone!
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you look at your smile in the mirror and aren’t happy with what you see, there’s likely some cosmetic treatment that can help you. The safety and efficacy of these procedures make them a great fit for just about anyone who has an aesthetic issue with their teeth.
This may be due to damage to your teeth causing chips or cracks, but we can even deal with something as minor as food stains changing the color of your teeth. The appearance of people’s smiles also changes as they get older, so if you want to turn back the clock on how you look, we can help you with that too!
There are so many treatments available that there’s likely one that would be perfect for you. Dr. Camenzuli would be happy to discuss your specific needs at a consultation.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The amount of time you can expect your results to last depends on the treatment you’re pursuing. Generally, quick and easy fixes don’t last quite as long as more intensive procedures. Teeth whitening, for example, usually fades before veneers will.
However, just about every cosmetic treatment has in common that they last longer the better you take care of your teeth. If you’re rigorous with your dental hygiene and see us at least twice a year for necessary checkups, you can make any cosmetic treatment last for years to come.
