How much is a beautiful smile worth? It can improve your mood and that of others, and it can tell the people around you that you’re happy, confident, and outgoing. It helps you show off your winning personality! But what if your pearly whites miss the mark of perfection? Your cosmetic dentist in Denton provides services that can transform your smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that your dentist permanently attaches to the fronts of your teeth. First, though, your dentist will have to remove a thin layer of enamel so the veneers will fit in properly with your natural smile line. These little pieces of porcelain can disguise all sorts of flaws, including:

• Discoloration
• Minor misalignment
• Chips and cracks

Veneers are extremely durable; they can last for a decade or longer if you care for them well. If your teeth and gums are healthy and you have good oral hygiene habits, you might be a candidate for this procedure.

Teeth Whitening

Have you tried over the counter teeth whitening methods only to discover that they always disappoint? To brighten up your pearly whites, head to your dentist in Denton. All of the whitening methods we offer at Southridge Dental can produce dramatic results in one short visit.

• Zoom2 whitening uses a bleaching gel in combination with a special light. Together, the work to penetrate teeth and break stains apart.
• Boost also uses a gel and a light, but this method is designed to strengthen tooth enamel. The results can last a lifetime.
• Opalescence can also strengthen your enamel, and it can even reduce tooth sensitivity.

After your dentist determines that your teeth and gums are healthy enough to undergo whitening, you can discuss which brightening method is right for you. Your dentist will also tell you best practices for maintaining your new, radiant smile.

Invisalign

Crooked teeth aren’t just unsightly; they can also make it more difficult for you to keep your mouth clean, increasing the risk of cavities. Invisalign is a convenient method for repositioning those pearly whites. It uses a series of clear thermoplastic aligners to apply slight pressure to your teeth. Over time, your teeth will shift into their proper places.

May patients love Invisalign in Denton because it doesn’t involve metal brackets and wires, which can irritate the mouth and be unpleasant to look at. And because the aligners are removable, you won’t have to deal with any dietary restrictions as you’re working on your new smile.

This method of straightening teeth is great for adults who don’t have severe misalignment and who have the self-discipline to wear the aligners the suggested amount of time each day.
