What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of treatments focused on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. Depending on your goals, this may include veneers, crowns, bonding, or other restorative and aesthetic procedures.

A cosmetic treatment plan is developed around your individual concerns, oral health, and the recommendations of your dentist following an evaluation.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their color, shape, or appearance. They may be considered for teeth that are discolored, chipped, worn, or slightly misaligned.

Veneers are not appropriate for every patient, and an evaluation is needed to determine whether they are suitable for you.

Dental Crowns for Cosmetic Reasons

While crowns are often used for restorative purposes, they can also improve the appearance of a tooth that is discolored or misshapen. A crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring both strength and appearance.

Your dentist can explain whether a crown may be appropriate for cosmetic reasons in your situation.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners can address mild to moderate alignment concerns, improving the appearance of your smile discreetly. Both Invisalign and SureSmile systems are available at Najor Dental Center.

Aligners are custom-planned based on an evaluation of your teeth and bite.

Starting With an Evaluation

The first step in any cosmetic treatment is an evaluation. Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and bite and discuss your goals before recommending options.

After evaluating your oral health, your dentist can explain which cosmetic options may be appropriate and help you understand the expected considerations before any decisions are made.
