Who Is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?

At Smile Center Inc., cosmetic dentistry holds immense importance as it not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of one's smile but also plays a crucial role in boosting self-confidence and overall psychological well-being. Beyond addressing cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, misalignment, or missing teeth, these elective procedures contribute to a positive self-image and improved social interactions. The transformative impact of cosmetic dentistry extends beyond physical appearance, influencing individuals to take pride in their smiles and, by extension, fostering a sense of empowerment and improved quality of life.

Suitable Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry

You Have Discolored Teeth

Over time, your teeth can become discolored due to staining from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking. You may also have teeth that are stained by medication like tetracycline. While teeth whitening is an effective way to remove stains, it's not suitable for everyone. If you have sensitive teeth, whitening may not be ideal for you. However, porcelain veneers are an excellent option because they cover the front of your teeth to hide discoloration.

You Have Chipped or Cracked Teeth

If you chip or crack a tooth, it usually results from an accident or injury. A chipped tooth can be repaired with a dental crown or a veneer. Veneers can also be used to cover cracks and other imperfections.

You Have Missing Teeth

Tooth loss can occur for various reasons, including decay, gum disease, or trauma. Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. Implants look and function just like natural teeth, so no one can tell you have them.

Types of Cosmetic Dental Treatments

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most common and popular cosmetic dental procedures available in Mobile, AL. Professional teeth whitening can lighten teeth stained by food, drinks, smoking, medication, or the natural aging process. We offer both in-office and at-home whitening options at our office.

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front surface of your teeth by our dentist in Mobile, AL, to improve their appearance. They fix chipped, cracked, misaligned, discolored, or gapped teeth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for replacement teeth. They can replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or even an entire arch of missing teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that cover the entire tooth structure. They are used to restore teeth that are broken or decayed. Crowns are also used to cover dental implants, support bridges, and discolored teeth.

Whether it is correcting imperfections, brightening enamel, or replacing missing teeth, the journey to a confident and radiant smile begins with the transformative possibilities of cosmetic dentistry.
