Ways Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve Your Smile

A smile makeover from Dr. Edward Yates’s Norwich, CT, dental office could be just what you need to rejuvenate your smile and improve your look! Read on to learn about just a few of the cosmetic treatments that Dr. Yates uses to make patients’ smiles shine! Teeth WhiteningOver the years, factors like age, smoking, and coffee consumption all cause teeth to become discolored. Luckily, this in-office procedure is a time-effective way to make your smile brilliantly white again! During treatment, our dentist covers sensitive oral tissues and uses a retractor device to get lips and cheeks out of the way during the procedure. A strong whitening agent is applied on the surface of your teeth and removes dental stains. VeneersVeneers are thin porcelain caps that are used to resurface damaged teeth. To apply them, your Norwich dentist removes enamel from the surface of your teeth, a permanent process, before cementing the veneers on the surface. This oral restoration fixes stained or discolored teeth that have been ruined due to poor hygiene and harmful habits. Veneers also fix teeth that are misshapen, crooked, worn, or chipped, as well as provide correction for uneven surfaces and spacing. With veneers, your teeth will feel smooth, even, and properly aligned! DenturesDentures are removable oral appliances that are used to replace missing teeth. Made from acrylic resin, these oral appliances are an economically priced restoration for people who have lost their teeth because of decay, gum disease, and/or injury. There are several types of dentures: complete dentures, partial dentures, overdentures, and partial removable dentures. Dentures improve chewing and bite function, boost speech capabilities, and provide facial support. Does your smile need a little help to look its best?
