Answers to Cosmetic Dentistry Questions
A1. C, Porcelain veneers is a cosmetic dentistry procedure which can correct many smile imperfections at once, including hiding light discolorations and stains, covering chipped teeth, closing smile gaps, and smoothing jagged tooth edges.
A2. D, You can reduce the appearance of gums in your smile several ways since a gummy smile can be a result of many different dental issues. Correcting your bite can reposition your smile so that it does not force your gums to protrude. Maxillofacial surgery can also correct gummy smile when excess gingival display is a result of genetics or facial structure. One of the most minimally invasive and quickest ways to treat gummy smile is gum recontouring which reshapes your gingival tissue so that gums do not overpower your smile.
A3. True, When surveyed by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, most participants stated that whiter teeth was the cosmetic smile enhancement they desired most. Our cosmetic dentist in Livonia offers both in-office professional teeth whitening and take-home whitening kits.
A4. True, Dental bonding is made of composite resin instead of porcelain, making it a cheaper alternative to dental veneers. Dental bonding still covers many of the same smile imperfections as porcelain veneers; however, cosmetic bonding does not last as long as veneers or resist staining as well as porcelain.
