Okemos, Lansing, and East Lansing, MI
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, where everything is about love. While this day focuses on sharing love with your significant other, some individuals may choose to focus on self-care or a trip to the salon, getting a massage, or how about a visit to your Okemos cosmetic dentist? Cosmetic dentistry offers several options to restore dingy teeth or hide imperfections like crooked, gapped, or misshapen teeth, improving your smile and building self-confidence. So today on the blog, check out cosmetic dental treatments to love this February so that you can look and feel your best. Whether you desire whiter teeth or want to conceal an unwanted gap between your front teeth, there is a lot to love about cosmetic dentistry this month!
Teeth Whitening
An affordable technique to brighten dingy, yellowish teeth is professional teeth whitening. You might be tempted to purchase whitening strips at the store, but the solution is weak and won’t provide lasting results. For noticeable results that last, opt for professional teeth whitening in Okemos. Dr. Tenaglia offers Zoom! Whitening. It’s effective, safe, and incredibly fast! The treatment begins by having a dental professional place the whitening gel over your teeth. Then, a special light is used to activate the gel, which safely penetrates your enamel in less than an hour. Patients that use Zoom! Whitening experience results in as much as five to 15 times brighter!
Dental Bonding
Also referred to as cosmetic bonding, this in-office procedure is excellent for hiding chipped or misshapen teeth or minor tooth crookedness. Cosmetic bonding is popular because it doesn’t require an off-site dental lab to fabricate the final restoration. Dr. Tenaglia can place the composite material directly over your tooth, shaping and polishing it to look completely natural, all during one visit to our Okemos cosmetic dentist office. Because the composite used for bonding can be chosen in a shade that matches your tooth, results are completely natural yet entirely affordable.
Veneers
Veneers are thin coverings that permanently adhere to the front surface of the tooth being treated. Dr. Tenaglia offers porcelain veneers, which require a small portion of your natural tooth to be removed, as well as Lumineers, which are adhered directly to the tooth without the need for reshaping or enamel removal. Whether you choose porcelain veneers or Lumineers, both are completely customized and take about two weeks to get the final restoration. Whether you’d like to conceal gapped teeth in Okemos or want to permanently cover stained teeth in East Lansing, veneers may be the right option for you.
