If you are unhappy with your smile and have decided that the time has come to do something about it, you may be a bit edgy wondering exactly what the cosmetic dental treatments will involve. Rest assured that each of the procedures utilized in cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of your smile is safe and effective. However, to ease your mind, your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I. Quintner, tells you what you can expect from your smile makeover.
Invisalign
If you want a straighter smile, your Milford cosmetic dentist, Dr. Quintner, offers Invisalign. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is discrete, allowing you to maintain self-confidence throughout treatment. Invisalign patients will have a series of clear aligners custom made for them. They will wear these aligners throughout the day and night, except when they remove them to eat and clean their teeth. Once every two weeks, patients will switch to the next aligner in the series. Once they have completed the series, they will have a new smile.
Teeth Whitening
Dr. Quintner offers both in-office and at-home treatment for patients who are seeking whiter smiles. Both treatments are effective, but each has different advantages. At-home whitening utilizes whitening trays, filled with a bleaching gel, that patients wear over their teeth for 1-2 hours per day in the comfort of their own homes. At-home whitening generally takes 1-2 weeks to show results. In-office whitening takes only an hour and shows instant results. This treatment features a whitening gel that is activated with a special light.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers attach to the front of teeth to mask cosmetic problems like pitted teeth, crooked teeth, or chipped teeth. Veneers are resistant to stains and durable, and they have a very convincing appearance. The application process requires some enamel to be removed from teeth before the veneers are attached. However, patients may be a candidate for Lumineers, a special kind of veneer that requires little tooth preparation.
