Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of teeth and has become incredibly popular. In addition to regular teeth cleaning and oral health checkups, cosmetic dentistry will boost your self-confidence and give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Steven A. Kumasaka, DDS of Kaneohe, HI, will work with you to choose just the right care for your teeth.

Here’s how cosmetic dentistry will benefit you:

  • Cosmetic Dentistry Repairs Stained Teeth: Teeth whitening involves bleaching teeth with chemicals to get a brighter, cleaner smile. You can also whiten teeth with bonding or veneers, a coating that is placed over the tooth enamel to hide imperfections. Professional whitening solutions are far more effective than grocery store choices, and you’ll even be able to select an option that accommodates tooth sensitivity.
  • cosmetic dentistryCosmetic Dentistry Fixes Chipped Teeth: Bonding can fix small chips by covering gaps with a material that looks just like your real teeth. Similarly, enamel shaping will correct minor bite problems and irregular or overlapping teeth. Veneers, which are porcelain or plastic shells, last longer than bonding and are less expensive than crowns for tooth repair.  
  • Cosmetic Dentistry Replaces Missing Teeth: Bridges replace missing teeth. These fixed partial dentures are anchored to surrounding teeth to support artificial teeth. Implants, a long-term alternative to bridges and removable dentures, are surgically installed in the jawbone. Both will give you back the smile you’ve been hiding.

Patients should consult a dentist about the costs, risks, benefits, and maintenance associated with cosmetic dentistry procedures beforehand. Every mouth is different, and a great cosmetic dentist will balance the overall health of your mouth with your aesthetic goals.
