Okemos, Lansing, East Lansing MI
Have you — or someone you know — always kept your smile hidden because of something with your teeth you’re embarrassed about? This could include stained, cracked, chipped, misaligned or even missing teeth. Cosmetic procedures have tremendous benefits because they can correct all of these issues — and more. They can help someone feel more confident in themselves, and they can vastly improve overall oral health.
Our cosmetic dentist at Tenaglia Smiles in Okemos takes great joy in watching a person transform their smile and self-confidence through cosmetic dentistry procedures, many of which are non-invasive, affordable and carried out in just one or two visits to our comfortable, state-of-the-art dental practice.
Our own cosmetic dentist, Dr. Christine Tenaglia, is sharing today some of the various cosmetic dentistry practices we offer along with their benefits and advantages.
Improves confidence
Cosmetic dentistry can completely transform your smile, enhancing your appearance and improving the confidence you have in yourself. Using one procedure or a combination of several, our Lansing cosmetic dentists can give you the smile of your dreams, making you feel more confident and capable. This can drastically improve both your personal and professional lives.
Benefits teeth and gums
Cosmetic dentistry goes far beyond simply making a smile pretty. It can also straighten misaligned and crooked teeth that are notorious for trapping food particles in spaces that are hard to reach. When food particles are trapped for too long, they attract bacteria. This leads to plaque and tartar buildup and, eventually, tooth decay. Cosmetic dentistry procedures can, therefore, help people stave off tooth decay and gum disease.
Remove years from your face
A dingy smile with teeth that are chipped, missing or broken adds age to our faces. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically whiten your teeth in just one visit to our East Lansing dental office. If your teeth are short because of a lifetime of clenching and grinding your teeth, veneers can lengthen the teeth. They can also cover chips, cracks and stained teeth and can help conceal gaps in teeth, too.
Transform your bite
A misaligned bite can cause chronic ailments like migraines and jaw pain. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional metal braces that is being used by millions of people to straighten their teeth and correct bad bites.
The improvements last
With proper care, most cosmetic procedures, such as porcelain veneers or dental bonding, can last for years, and others — like dental implants — can last a lifetime. This makes cosmetic dentistry worth the investment.
