Cosmetic Dentistry - What is it exactly?

Did you know that the earliest known dental work was performed between 7500 and 9000 years ago? Thank goodness we have come along way from those prehistoric practices. Today, you have the luxury of opting for the perfect smile with little pain and more options with Affleck Dental.

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t what it used to be. There are a variety of procedures that prosthodontists and orthodontists are licensed to implement in order to give you the perfect smile. These range from whitening your teeth to dental implants, dentures, fillings, veneers, tooth contouring and reshaping, crowns, root canals, braces, and cosmetic gum surgery. Now with the advance in technology and the professional services of Affleck Dental, everyone can have the smile of a celebrity. Better yet, now celebrities can have an amazing smile, too!

Tooth contouring and reshaping is one of the newest procedures that is targeted and quick to correct. With just a little dental contouring, you can improve your smile and how it makes you feel. It is required to already have normal, healthy teeth before these types of procedures as contouring and reshaping is meant to help with teeth crowding, small chips and fractures in the teeth. On the other hand, reshaping should be limited as it can wear away at the natural enamel of your tooth.

 As with every cosmetic dentistry procedure and option there are pros and cons involved. The best practice is to call the experts at Affleck Dental with any questions you may have or make an appointment for a consultation. Our dedicated team of doctors, technicians and staff are here to help you on your path to getting a beautiful smile!
