Okemos, Lansing, and East Lansing MI
The holiday season is here again, and you’re probably looking at a long list of people in your life on your gift list. You’re going to spend time, energy, and money picking the right gifts, but this year, what about doing something kind for yourself? You can give yourself the gift of a great-looking smile through cosmetic dentistry. When you go to see an experienced cosmetic dentist in Okemos like Dr. Christine Tenaglia, you’re seeing an expert with training in the field who uses state-of-the-art techniques and tools to transform smiles. Ready to learn more? Here are three magical ways your Okemos cosmetic dentist can enhance your smile before Christmas.
Teeth Whitening
There are many reasons why a whitening treatment is the most popular procedure used in cosmetic dentistry today. The procedure can be completed in an hour or less. It is minimally invasive. And it produces results; just brightening your teeth by a few shades can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your smile. When you choose a professional dental whitening in Okemos, you’re making the best choice. These treatments use bleaching agents that are more powerful than any over-the-counter item or kit. And, our whitening procedures are administered under the care of Dr. Christine Tenaglia, minimizing your risk of enhanced sensitivity from the treatment. Dr. Tenaglia offers the Zoom! System and GLO to whiten teeth. So, whether you want to whiten your teeth in our Okemos dental office or use a professional-grade take-home kit, we’ve got you covered at Tenaglia Smiles!
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is both convenient and versatile. Like whitening, a bonding procedure can be completed in about an hour and is minimally invasive. A bonding treatment also simultaneously addresses a wide array of different aesthetic issues, correcting the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, or have small fractures. Bonding can conceal an unwanted gap between two teeth, correct the appearance of uneven teeth, or provide protection for exposed tooth roots due to receding gums. Contact our office in Okemos to learn more about whether cosmetic bonding could be right for you.
Veneers
For nearly 100 years, dentists have been using veneers to improve teeth. Modern veneers are made of beautiful dental porcelain, a material that is durable, stain-resistant, and possesses a similar translucency to real tooth enamel. Like bonding, veneers can correct a variety of aesthetic problems: conceal slightly misaligned teeth, discoloration that is resistant to whitening procedures, and other types of mild damage or imperfection. The differences between bonding and veneers are that veneers are porcelain and will last much longer if you maintain proper dental hygiene. However, veneers come at a higher price. You can discuss the pros and cons of each with Dr. Tenaglia during your consultation to determine which one is right for you.
