What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a form of oral health care that focuses on the appearance of teeth. At All Coast Dental, this can include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, and more.
Teeth Whitening
Daily consumption of foods and drinks does a lot to stain teeth. Coffee, wine, tomato sauces, smoking - all of these things stain our teeth. In fact, brushing right after eating, while the enamel is weakened by acids, can help grind stains into the teeth. There is only so much that can be done from home to undo these stains. Professional teeth whitening is the process of using a special gel to lift the stains that have been set.
Veneers
Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain that is laid over the surface of a tooth to cover imperfections like stains, cracks, or gaps.
Crowns
Crowns are used when a tooth is damaged and needs to be strengthened or replaced. A crown is placed over a tooth to help ensure that further damage is prevented, or as part of a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
Bridges
A bridge uses two crowns that sit on your natural teeth on both sides of a gap in your smile to support prosthetic teeth.
