Dental issues can happen to anyone, no matter if you are young or old, male or female, you may be dealing with imperfections in your smile that keep you from feeling completely confident and happy in your skin.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Whether you’ve despised that gap between your front teeth, or you feel self-conscious about your yellowing smile (thanks, coffee!), there are many reasons people turn to our dental team here in Grand Forks, ND, for cosmetic dentistry.

In most cases, cosmetic dentistry may be the best solution for patients looking to alter and improve the color, length, shape, and alignment of their teeth. We can tailor all of our cosmetic treatments to meet your needs, so whether you need to fix minor problems or more elaborate issues, we can handle esthetic issues of all shapes and sizes here at our Grand Forks, ND, dental practice.

Cosmetic dentistry’s sole purpose is to enhance the appearance of your smile while correcting or hiding imperfections. While cosmetic dentistry can make minimal alterations and repairs to your teeth, it isn’t meant to fix decay, cracked, or damaged teeth.

What types of cosmetic dentistry are available to me?

When it comes to getting cosmetic dentistry, our dental team believes that the more choices the better. We offer a full range of cosmetic options including,

Dental bonding: a minor, non-invasive treatment where we apply a tooth-colored putty over areas of the tooth to fill gaps, cover chips, and hide discolorations. Can also be used to smooth out pitted surfaces of a tooth.

Teeth reshaping/contouring: By shaving off small amounts of enamel we can change the length or shape of a tooth. Great for teeth that are a little uneven or excessively pointed.

Teeth whitening: Yellowing stains got you down? Everything from getting older to our diet can impact the color of our teeth, but our professional teeth whitening system can safely, effectively, and quickly remove stains in less than one hour.

Dental veneers: If you want to hide more widespread issues such as discolorations, gaps between teeth, and misshapen teeth then these thin porcelain shells can be bonded to the front of your teeth to hide these flaws while also improving the shape, alignment, and appearance of your smile.

You can feel confident in your appearance and our cosmetic dentistry team here at Grand Forks, ND, can help make that possible. Call us today at (701) 772-6581 to learn more about cosmetic dentistry and to schedule a consultation with us.
