What does a cosmetic dentist in Wicker Park do?
Cosmetic dentistry concentrates on improving the appearance of the patient’s smile. It thus includes such services as teeth whitening and crowns. East Village Dental Centre lists both braces and Invisalign as cosmetic treatments for they are used to straighten the patient’s teeth.
A “smile makeover” describes a group of procedures that can be done to improve teeth that are discolored, crooked, chipped, worn, or have gaps. Examples include veneers, crowns, composite fillings, and bonding.
What is a Snap-On Smile?
A Snap-On Smile is a removable appliance that the patient wears over their regular teeth to hide such defects as missing teeth, discolored teeth, chipped teeth, gummy teeth, or gaps. The Snap On Smile is essentially a cosmetic partial denture custom-made for the patient, and it is sturdy enough that the patient can wear it while eating.
The Snap On Smile is designed for people who aren’t candidates for implants or bridges. It is also less expensive than many other cosmetic treatments.
The dentist will make an impression of the patient’s teeth and send them to a dental lab. Three weeks later, the patient will return for their final fitting.
What is bonding?
Bonding is a relatively inexpensive treatment used to correct minor imperfections by changing the color or shape of teeth or by closing gaps. Cosmetic bonds are made of plastic, and the dentist will pick one that best matches the surrounding teeth. After applying the bond, the dentist will use a laser or ultraviolet to harden the bond.
