Are you unhappy with how your teeth look? Do you cover your mouth when you pose for pictures? If so, it’s time to consider cosmetic smile solutions from Hockley Dental.
Cosmetic dental solutions come with a variety of benefits. They improve both the form and function of your teeth, allowing your teeth to do their job while looking their best. Every person’s smile is slightly different, and at Hockley Dental, we customize our cosmetic dentistry solutions to fit every patient’s individual needs.
Bonding is an ideal option if you need a solution that is both cosmetic and restorative. Bonding entails placing composite resin material on the surface of a damaged tooth and hardening it with ultraviolet light to restore both form and function to the tooth. Since the resin is enamel-colored and moldable before hardening, your dentist will ensure it looks natural.
Our team may recommend bonding to address any of the following:
Bonding is a safe, effective solution that can often be completed in just one visit.
If your teeth have become stained, dull, or discolored over time, teeth whitening may be a good option for you. One of the first things people notice about you is your smile, and you always want to make a good first impression.
Healthy teeth are not immune to discoloration over time. Genetics, aging, antibiotics, and tobacco use all contribute to teeth becoming stained and discolored. Whitening treatments are a simple and effective way to brighten up your smile, making you look younger and increasing your self-confidence.
Before any whitening can be done, your teeth and gums must be evaluated to determine if they are right for the procedure. If you have questions, our experienced team at Hockley Dental will provide you with more information.
If you’re looking for a custom cosmetic dental solution made just for your needs, porcelain veneers may be the right option. Veneers are thin, durable shells that are custom-made from molds of your teeth that are the same color as tooth enamel. The shells are then bonded onto the front of your tooth for a natural look and fit that immediately improves your smile.
Veneers are ideal for patients with strong, healthy teeth that are stained, gapped (diastema), or crooked. Porcelain veneers make teeth look straighter, whiter, and more intact, and they can last for years with proper care. Always keep up with proper brushing and flossing habits even if you get veneers.
