Cosmetic Dentistry

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes oral procedures that can enhance the appearance of your smile. These cosmetic treatments are typically not necessary for your teeth’s function, but in some cases, they can improve both your oral health and help you achieve an aesthetic smile. 

Cosmetic dentistry can correct imperfections, such as small cracks, discoloration, or fractures. These corrections may also help you prevent infections and maintain better oral hygiene. 

How can cosmetic dentistry help me?

If you don’t like the way your smile looks, consult with the team at Eric Klein D.D.S. & Associates. Cosmetic dentistry procedures can improve concerns like: 

• Overly long or short teeth
• Yellow or discolored teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Chipped or fractured teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Missing teeth

You can have more than one cosmetic treatment for a complete smile makeover.

What cosmetic dentistry treatments do you offer?

Eric Klein D.D.S. & Associates offers several cosmetic treatments, such as:

Teeth whitening

When you have stained or discolored teeth, chairside teeth whitening can brighten up your smile by several shades in one visit. Your provider applies a special whitening solution to your teeth that removes unwanted discoloration.

Veneers

Veneers can help correct cracked, misshapen, or even permanently discolored teeth. Veneers are wafer-thin coverings that your provider bonds to the surfaces of your teeth to create a more polished appearance.

Dental crowns

A dental crown protects a damaged or decayed, while restoring your tooth’s size and shape. 

Dental implants

Dental implants are permanently anchored into the jaw. This is life-changing technology. Dental implants look, act, and feel like your natural teeth and can restore your mouth to its original health and beauty.

Tooth-colored fillings 

The team at Eric Klein D.D.S. & Associates offers tooth-colored fillings made of composite resin to repair decaying tooth enamel. 

These fillings mimic the light-reflecting properties and color of your natural enamel, allowing the filling blends in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

Dental bonding 

Dental bonding uses composite resin to repair and improve the appearance of discolored, chipped, or gapped teeth. 

Orthodontics

Orthodontics focuses on correcting bite misalignments (like an underbite or overbite) or large gaps between teeth to achieve a more attractive smile. The team at Eric Klein D.D.S. & Associates offers Invisalign® and ClearCorrect® clear aligners. 

How do I care for my teeth after cosmetic dentistry?

With cosmetic dentistry treatments, you should apply the same level of care that you do with your natural teeth. Good dental hygiene includes:

• Brushing and flossing at least two times per day
• Rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash
• Getting a soft toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste
• Avoid chewing on hard objects 
• Visiting Eric Klein D.D.S. & Associates for regular professional cleanings
