Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry services are designed to create the perfect smile for you. There are a multitude of services that can improve the overall appearance of your smile. Though general dentistry can go a long way toward improving the health of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry can go a similar amount toward improving their appearance. Veneers can be fixed to the surface of teeth to immediately change their shape, size, and shade. This means that no matter what teeth your genetics have bestowed on you, you will be able to obtain the appearance you want for your smile. Teeth whitening, Invisalign, and other services can ensure that your smile maintains your desired appearance.

Dental veneers are a way to instantly fix your smile. They are completely customizable, which allows you to obtain the shape, size, and shade of white that you desire for your teeth. Implementing a veneer requires the scraping off of enamel to provide room for the veneer to be fixed on the tooth. This allows a particularly natural appearance. Here at Hyde Park Dental, we use Lumineers, which are thinner alternatives to traditional dental veneers. This minimizes the amount of enamel that must be removed from your teeth, which helps to protect the integrity of the structure of your teeth.

The enamel on teeth wears down over time, which can lead to the teeth obtaining a discolored appearance. There are multiple methods for whitening your teeth. Obtaining a professional tooth whitening service in a dental office is the most effective way to whiten your teeth by several shades. They can use more powerful whitening agents, without compromising the health of your teeth. These whitening treatments can also allow the dentist to find any existing dental health problems that may be compounded through whitening.

Invisalign is quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional straightening methods. Unlike braces that implement wires and bands, Invisalign uses sets of clear retainers to gently shift the teeth into place. With the use of Invisalign, patients don’t have to limit their dietary options, as the retainers are removable. They are designed to be worn for a certain amount of time per day to mold the smile to perfection. Here at Hyde Park Dental, we strive to provide superior dental services, both general and cosmetic.

Sedation dentistry is a tool to ensure that those with overwhelming anxiety can still receive the dental services that they need. Many individuals avoid visiting the dentist due to the anxiety they have regarding dental treatment. Sedation dentistry is used to combat this. It is important to visit a knowledgeable dentist when receiving sedation dentistry services, as the sedation will need to be adjusted according to weight, age, and level of anxiety. It is important to have someone else drive you after these services, as it is unsafe to drive after being sedated.
