What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Do For Your Smile

For minor or serious dental imperfections, cosmetic dentistry presents a way for you to improve the appearance of your smile. Dr. Karen Tritinger-Young, your cosmetic dentist in Yakima, WA, can help you smile more brightly through cosmetic dentistry.

Teeth Whitening

Not many people are born with brilliant white teeth. Your habits can dull your teeth too. Smoking, red wine, and coffee are only a few of the things that can leave stains on your teeth. Some medications can stain your teeth as well.

Cosmetic dentistry could help brighten your teeth with professional teeth whitening. Your dentist will make a mold of your teeth to craft personalized whitening trays for you. You'll also get a whitening gel that's far more effective than over-the-counter options to get your smile 3-8 shades brighter.

Dental Veneers

If your teeth won't respond to professional teeth whitening, you've still got other options. Porcelain veneers are teeth-shaped panels closely resembling your natural teeth that your dentist can cement to the front of your teeth to hide dental imperfections. Dental veneers can restore your stained, chipped, worn, or crooked teeth.

Bonding and Tooth-Colored Fillings

To treat your cavities your dentist first removes the decay, then uses tooth-colored fillings to restore the tooth. Bonding is a treatment that can fix minor imperfections like cracks or a gap between teeth. Dental bonding is a pain-free and inexpensive solution. Bonding and white fillings from your cosmetic dentist in Yakima, WA, can restore your teeth.

Inlays and Onlays

Your dentist can also cover up your teeth damage using Inlays and Onlays. They are also known as partial crowns and are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly.

If your teeth cusps are still in great condition, your dentist will fit you with Inlays, while you might get Onlays if you have more extensive tooth damage.
