Cosmetic Dentistry

While cosmetic dental procedures are elective, they often provide health benefits in addition to improving the overall appearance of the smile. Procedures like veneers, for example, can strengthen the teeth and protect them from damage on top of transforming the smile.

Many people with discolored or misaligned teeth may feel self-conscious and embarrassed. This can lead to damaged self-esteem and confidence. When these issues are addressed through cosmetic dental treatments by our dentist at Dr Be Smiles, patients can feel more comfortable and confident in the appearance and feel of their smiles. This allows them to feel more at ease in social and professional situations.

Types of Cosmetic Dental Procedures

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are an excellent option for natural-looking results if your teeth are discolored, chipped, misaligned, gapped, or otherwise imperfect. They are custom-made to fit over your natural teeth and can give you a flawless smile in just a few appointments with our dentist. Before veneers can be placed, the teeth must be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel from their surface so that the veneers can appropriately fit over them.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a cap that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. They’re often recommended when a large filling is needed to replace one area of damage or decay or when a tooth is cracked or broken.

Composite Fillings

Our dentist can use a composite filling to fix a tooth that is moderately decayed or to fix chips or small cracks in the tooth’s surface. This type of resin filling is bonded to the tooth and color-matched to the rest of your teeth to blend right in and become invisible when you smile or talk.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Improved Confidence

Having a smile you are proud of can boost your self-confidence and improve your overall self-esteem. With cosmetic dentistry, you can correct aesthetic flaws that may hold you back from feeling your best.

Better Oral Health

Many cosmetic dental procedures, such as teeth whitening and straightening, can also improve oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, and removing plaque buildup will also improve the health of your gums.

Enhanced Appearance

Cosmetic dental treatments can help correct many aesthetic issues, including stained, misshapen, or crooked teeth. You can achieve a more attractive and balanced smile with veneers, bonding, and gum contouring.

Long-Lasting Results

Many cosmetic dental procedures provide long-lasting results so that you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years. With good oral hygiene habits and regular dental check-ups, the effects of cosmetic dental treatments can last for many years.

Cosmetic dentistry can provide many benefits beyond simply improving the appearance of your smile. If you want to learn more about the benefits of cosmetic dental treatments, contact Dr Be Smiles at 4511 N Midkiff Rd, Suite E-15, Midland, TX 79705, or call (432) 520-4867.
