Cosmetic Dentistry in San Antonio, TX
Here is an overview of some of the popular treatments we offer:
Clear Braces
Clear or invisible aligners are used to rectify crooked or misaligned teeth. Unlike conventional braces, they are virtually unnoticeable and removable. Nevertheless, you must wear clear aligners for at least 22 hours daily for effective results. As clear aligners are not attached to your teeth like traditional braces, you can easily remove them while eating to enjoy all kinds of foods. Moreover, you do not have to be careful about wires and brackets while brushing, as clear aligners can be conveniently removed and cleaned separately.
Teeth Whitening
Brushing and flossing every day is vital for keeping your teeth healthy. However, if your smile still lacks shine, opting for a teeth whitening treatment may be a good idea. In-office bleaching is one of the fastest ways to get your teeth sparkling. You will be able to see dramatic results right after the very first session. You can also opt for laser teeth whitening, which can whiten your teeth quicker than other methods.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers, or porcelain veneers, are customized shells of tooth-colored materials created to cover the front of your teeth. They can be made from either porcelain or composite resin. Dental veneers are typically used to treat teeth that are discolored, chipped, broken, misaligned, or worn down. To prepare a veneer, your dentist will take an imprint of the affected tooth and send it to a laboratory, where it will be manufactured.
Dental Bonding
This procedure involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin to a damaged tooth. Dental bonding is a suitable treatment for decayed, cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. Your dentist will use a shade guide to choose a composite resin color that best matches the color of your natural teeth. The bonding process begins by roughening your tooth surface and applying a conditioning liquid. The dentist will then apply resin and harden it using a special light.
