What happens at my first cosmetic dentistry appointment?

At your first cosmetic dentistry appointment, you and your dentist will discuss your goals for your smile. The appointment can include a dental examination and x-rays of your teeth and mouth. Your dentist may provide you with a preview of your new smile, and it may be possible to provide you with temporary cosmetic restorations to let you see how the cosmetic enhancements will look in your mouth.

How do I take care of veneers and crowns?

You brush and floss your veneers or crowns just as you would your natural teeth. This helps prevent staining and it protects your teeth from decay and gum infection.

Should I get veneers or cosmetic crowns?

Veneers and crowns have their own advantages and disadvantages. In general, crowns are used to replace an entire tooth, and veneers are used to change the appearance of the front of a tooth. Your dentist will be able to guide you through the decision and provide the pros and cons of each option.

Lumineers

Lumineers are special veneers made from an advanced, ultra-thin porcelain compound. They can be placed without anesthetic or modifications to your existing teeth.

Contouring and Bonding

Contouring and bonding are cosmetic treatments we use to repair or reshape teeth. We can use these treatments to correct spacing, make teeth appear more even, and repair stains or chips in the enamel.

Ceramic Crowns

Cosmetic ceramic crowns are used to restore and enhance teeth that can’t be treated with veneers, contouring, or another cosmetic treatment. Once they are placed, ceramic crowns look virtually identical to your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your first cosmetic dentistry appointment starts with discussing your goals for your appearance. We’ll also examine your teeth and take X-rays and photos. If possible, we’ll show you a preview of your new smile, and you may be able to try temporary cosmetic restorations to see how your smile will look.

Brush and floss your veneers and crowns like normal teeth. Although they can’t get cavities, they can be stained by food and beverages. Plaque and tartar can also build up around the base of veneers and crowns, so you will need to have them professionally cleaned just as you would natural teeth.

It depends on your needs. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment and only change the appearance of the visible areas of your teeth. Crowns are designed to restore the appearance and function of a natural tooth. As a general rule, cosmetic crowns would be used instead of veneers for a tooth that needs to be completely restored. Ask your dentist for more information about which option would work best for you.
