Smile Enhancements
Are you looking for a way to enhance your smile? The solution may be not one, but multiple dental treatments that address a range of imperfections. The first step is to visit yourChicago, IL dentist, Mindful Dental, for a consultation. We offer a variety of smile enhancement treatments and dental procedures to help you achieve the smile you want. Here are just some of the solutions we provide for new and current patients.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a restorative dental treatment for crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth and more. Any of these conditions can severely impact the appearance of your teeth in a negative way, but dental bonding can remedy the situation. One thing to know about dental bonding is that underlying conditions should be treated first. For instance, if your tooth is cracked, bad bacteria may reach the pulp of the tooth, jeopardizing its health. For this reason, you may need to get treatment for the underlying condition before you get dental bonding.
The treatment for dental bonding in Chicago, IL takes only about an hour. Your dentist will first prepare the tooth to accept the bonding material. Then the dentist will sculpt the bonding material onto your tooth. A special light will be directed at the bonding agent in order to cure it. Once it’s cured, you can expect the result to last for decades or even a lifetime!
Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers continue to be a popular choice for people in all walks of life. In the distant past, only celebrities and others in the public eye got dental veneers, which used to be called “caps.” Today, both the technology and affordability of dental veneers have improved dramatically. Dental veneers can look beautiful and natural, with the ability to completely transform a smile.
Dental veneers are very thin shells that are permanently affixed to the surface of the teeth. Only teeth that show when a person smiles will get veneers since they are cosmetic; for the sake of appearance. Veneers are custom-made, based on digital imaging and measurements of your teeth that the dentist acquires. Even the shade of the veneers is custom. You will work with your dentist to determine exactly what shade will look best, based on your expectations. All of this information is sent to a dental lab, where they’ll manufacture your custom veneers and then return them to your dentist.
The process of getting dental veneers is straightforward and minimally invasive. First, the dentist prepares each tooth that will be getting a veneer. This involves removing a thin layer of enamel. The veneers are then permanently applied using dental adhesive. Once the curing has taken place, you’ll have a permanent smile enhancement that you can enjoy immediately.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Most people experience discoloration of the teeth the older they get. This yellowed appearance can make a person appear much older than they are. Whitening the teeth makes a huge difference in the look of the smile, the apparent age of the individual, and even the confidence a person feels as they smile.
Professional teeth whitening is a very fast and very effective way to achieve a healthy, white and bright smile with little effort. Simply visit your Mindful Dental dentist, and relax as the professional teeth whitening takes place in an hour or less. The results will be dramatic and will last a long time, depending on your eating habits and oral hygiene practices at home. Teeth whitening can be touched up with follow-up visits as needed to keep your shiny teeth looking as great as possible!
Dental Implants
If you have one or more missing teeth, you can have your smile restored with dental implants. Dental implants are a permanent solution that offers natural-looking results so authentic that even your closest friends and family members may not even be able to tell. This is a more invasive solution that requires oral surgery, but it offers a return to functionality as well as a restoration of your smile.
