The Magic of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are crafted as thin, wafer-like shells designed to boost the front surface of your teeth. They are most commonly crafted from porcelain or resin composite materials. Veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of dental issues, including:

• Discolored Teeth: Teeth that are severely stained or discolored and do not respond well to whitening treatments can benefit from veneers. The material used for veneers is stain-resistant and can provide a natural, bright appearance.
• Worn Down Teeth: Veneers can protect teeth that have been worn down by providing a durable, protective covering.
• Chipped or Broken Teeth: Veneers can cover up chips and cracks, giving your teeth a smooth, consistent and perfect appearance
• Misaligned or Irregularly Shaped Teeth: Veneers can create an even, symmetrical smile by addressing minor misalignments or irregular shapes.

By addressing these issues, dental veneers not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile but also contribute to better oral health by protecting damaged teeth.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth. This material is then hardened with a special light, bonding it to the tooth. Dental bonding can effectively restore the appearance of your smile by:

• Repairing Decayed Teeth: The composite resin used in bonding can fill cavities and restore decayed teeth to their natural appearance.
• Fixing Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Bonding can repair minor chips and cracks, providing a seamless look.
• Improving the Shape of Teeth: Bonding can be used to alter the shape of teeth, making them look longer or closing unsightly gaps between teeth.
• Covering Discoloration: For teeth that are discolored, bonding can cover up the stains, providing a brighter smile.

Dental bonding is a cost-effective and minimally invasive treatment that can make significant improvements to the appearance of your teeth, boosting your confidence and overall oral health.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. It involves bleaching your teeth to make them look lighter. This treatment can:

• Remove Stains: Teeth can become stained from various foods, drinks and habits like smoking. Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove these stains and restore the natural color of your teeth.
• Enhance Your Smile: A whiter smile can significantly improve your overall appearance, making you look younger and more vibrant.
• Boost Confidence: Having a brighter, whiter smile can increase your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Professional teeth whitening treatments are safe and can produce dramatic results quickly, helping you achieve a dazzling smile to wow the world around you.

Conclusion

Cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental veneers, dental bonding and teeth whitening offer numerous benefits beyond just improving the appearance of your smile. They can restore the functionality and health of your teeth, boost your confidence and enhance your overall quality of life.

All of our prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok, are committed to bringing you the functional and aesthetically pleasing smile you desire and deserve. Our cosmetic dentistry options beautifully correct unsightly cosmetic imperfections in your teeth using dental veneers, dental bonding or teeth whitening.

1-Dental Veneers
These custom-crafted wafer thin porcelain or resin shells are bonded onto the front of your teeth. Veneers can beautify a single tooth or your whole mouth! They are ideal for sealing gaps or spaces between teeth, brightening stained or discolored teeth and straightening uneven looking teeth. They can even fix slightly twisted, curved teeth and restore a tooth that has sustained minor damage. We make your veneers in our onsite dental lab with our master technicians for the highest quality and a long-lasting smile.

2-Dental Bonding
If you are having a tooth bonded, we will place a composite resin material right onto the tooth. Our prosthodontist will expertly shape and sculpt the bonded area to fit your tooth and fix any flaws in how it looks. After the resin has hardened we can trim and polish it to perfection, leaving your smile with a long lasting beautiful restoration. This treatment effectively closes tooth gaps and spaces between teeth, corrects a tooth’s shape and color and restores teeth that are chipped or cracked. Not only will your teeth blend in naturally with the rest of your teeth with dental bonding, but we can often perform this treatment in just one comfortable visit to our office.

3-Teeth Whitening
If you have been wanting your teeth to look whiter and brighter our professional teeth whitening treatment might be your best bet! We can effectively lighten stained and discolored teeth that have darkened due to normal aging, lax dental hygiene care, drinking staining drinks (coffee, tea, wine and soda) and foods (berries, tomato-based sauces, soy sauce and curry). Your teeth can also stain dramatically if you use tobacco in any form, and from some medications and illnesses.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding corrects unsightly flaws in your smile the most conservatively. This is a non-invasive treatment our prosthodontists have been using to create aesthetically pleasing smiles that will make you enjoy looking into a mirror. This tooth-transforming magic is done by placing a tooth-colored composite resin right onto the tooth structure and is shaped and sculpted to fit your tooth and fix any flaws in the way the tooth looks. To complete the process, the resin is hardened and then trimmed and polished to give you a long-lasting, appealing cosmetic restoration for your smile. Another benefit is that it takes only one comfortable and fairly quick visit to do. Before you know it, tooth gaps or spaces are closed, the teeth are shaped attractively, stains are lightened stained and chipped or cracked teeth are repaired.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin waferlike shells made from porcelain or resin that are bonded to the front teeth to bring out their flawless-looking beauty. We can transform your teeth using these custom-crafted veneers for either one tooth, several or all of them! The beauty of veneers is that they can be used to close gaps and tooth spaces, brighten stained (or discolored) teeth, and even straighten how uneven teeth appear. We can also fix teeth that are a bit curved or twisted so they look so much more attractive.

Cosmetic Tooth Bonding to the Rescue

Tooth bonding is a popular minimally invasive and cost-effective cosmetic treatment option that is also a quick way to improve teeth with minor flaws. The bonding material is applied between the problem tooth’s original enamel and the dentin below it. Once the bonding has been applied it will look and function just like your original tooth did. Our skilled prosthodontists use a shade of composite resin that blends with the original color of your teeth so your smile looks natural. However, If you like, we can use a slightly lighter shade to whiten and brighten the color of your teeth.

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored putty-like composite material (resin) that is placed onto the tooth, carefully sculpted into shape and is then hardened and polished for beautiful results. This tooth restoration option is typically done in just one visit to the office and is perfect if you have teeth with small cracks, chips, or even gaps between your teeth that make you feel self-conscious when you smile. Once the bonding material is polished, it is permanently bonded to the teeth so when you look into the mirror all you will see is a full, healthy smile!

Why Choose Dental Bonding

This cosmetic dental treatment offers you a variety of cosmetic benefits to give you the smile you want and you won’t have to worry about having orthodontic treatment or trimming down your teeth as you would with dental veneers. You can enjoy dental bonding benefits like these:

• Saves more areas of your tooth enamel
• Repairs damaged or broken teeth
• Closes tooth gaps as needed
• Durable and long-lasting
• Expertly molded and color-matched to your nearby teeth
• Looks natural while blending in with the rest of your teeth
• Is easier to apply than getting dental veneers

When you come in to get one or more teeth bonded, our prosthodontists and team will attach the composite resin material directly onto your tooth where it will be shaped to fit to correct minor flaws in the tooth’s appearance. Once the composite resin is hardened, trimmed and polished, you can look forward to a lasting, aesthetically appealing restoration to complement your smile. Thanks to modern dental technology, dental bonding is typically done in only one visit and requires minimal to no tooth preparation. You can be confident that time in the chair will be quick and comfortable for you.

While you can’t always tell if you have a cracked tooth, if you feel a sharp pain when you bite down on your food which stops when you stop putting pressure on your tooth, your tooth may have a fracture. A tooth can crack for a number of reasons:

• If you chew on hard objects such as ice, hard candy, or hard nuts you can fracture a tooth.
• A blow to the mouth can crack a tooth.
• If tooth enamel is exposed to temperature extremes, your tooth can crack. So if you are eating hot soup, don’t be tempted to sip ice water with it.
• Your teeth can crack if you persistently grind or clench your teeth (also known as bruxism).

To repair a cracked tooth, Dr. Goggins or Dr. Esguerra will first examine the tooth to determine proper treatment. For example, if the tooth has minor cracks, bonding with a tooth-colored composite resin or dental filling may be all that will be required. However, if the damage is severe or affecting the tooth pulp, the tooth may require extraction, requiring a root canal.

If you are suffering from the effects of a cracked tooth, please call us at 303-586-1019 as soon as possible. Until you are seen by Dr. Goggins or Dr. Esguerra, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth, take acetaminophen or over-the-counter pain reliever as needed, and rinse with salt water for relief.  Our Denver Restorative Dentistry team in Broomfield, Colorado, is happy to help you restore your healthy smile!
