Teeth Whitening
Stained teeth can occur due to a variety of factors, including due to aging, tobacco use, dental hygiene habits, and even due to the foods and beverages you regularly consume. Many people turn to store-bought teeth whitening toothpastes and whitening strips to try to remedy their discoloration, but these don’t always provide the results they promise on the packaging. At Modern Dentistry Roswell, we offer in-office and take-home professional teeth whitening to help you get the results you’re dreaming of. Within as little as a single appointment or two weeks of use at home, you can enjoy a grin that’s up to eight shades brighter.
Veneers
When you take a look at your smile in the mirror, do you feel there are too many cosmetic flaws to address? The reality is that there isn’t! Veneers in Roswell take a comprehensive approach to beautifying your smile. They’re thin, durable sheaths that are placed over the visible surface of individual teeth to conceal a variety of imperfections, like staining, damage, and even slight misalignment. They can be crafted from a variety of lifelike dental materials, like stain-resistant porcelain, ensuring you enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Invisalign®
Gone are the days when you have to commit to wearing metal brackets and wires for years on end to straighten your smile. We offer Invisalign clear aligners that offer you the freedom to eat what you want and effortlessly maintain your oral health throughout treatment, all while working towards your orthodontic goals. They’re an excellent option for both teens and adults due to the flexibility they offer, and they can address a wide array of misalignment problems, including malocclusion.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Cosmetic dentistry is generally not painful. Most procedures, like teeth whitening, bonding, and veneers, are minimally invasive and don’t require much discomfort. For treatments like veneers, we may reshape the tooth slightly, but anesthesia is typically used to ensure you don’t feel pain during the process.
More complex procedures, like dental implants or gum contouring, may involve mild discomfort during recovery, but we provide pain management options to keep you comfortable. You might feel temporary sensitivity, especially with veneers or whitening, but it usually fades quickly. Overall, we aim to make cosmetic treatments as comfortable as possible.
Why is Cosmetic Dentistry So Popular?
Cosmetic dentistry is popular because it helps people achieve their ideal smile, boosting confidence and self-esteem. Many of us want to improve the appearance of our teeth, whether it’s for whiter teeth, straighter alignment, or fixing chips and gaps. Advances in dental technology have made these procedures more accessible, quicker, and less invasive than in the past.
A bright, healthy smile is often associated with attractiveness and success, which motivates many people to pursue treatments like veneers, whitening, or aligners. Additionally, cosmetic dentistry can sometimes improve functionality, like in the case of crowns or implants, which restore both appearance and bite strength. Ultimately, it’s a way to enhance both aesthetics and quality of life.
What Causes the Discoloration of a Tooth?
Teeth discoloration can happen for several reasons, both internal and external. External factors include foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, which stain the enamel over time. Smoking and tobacco use are also common culprits. Poor oral hygiene, like not brushing or flossing regularly, allows plaque buildup, which leads to yellowing.
Internal factors, called intrinsic stains, happen from within the tooth. These can be caused by aging, as the enamel thins, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath. Certain medications, like antibiotics taken in childhood, and excessive fluoride exposure can also cause intrinsic discoloration. Trauma or damage to a tooth may also lead to darkening. Regular professional cleanings and teeth whitening can help manage or reverse discoloration caused by these factors.
What Should I Expect at an Initial Consultation for a Smile Makeover?
At an initial consultation for a smile makeover, we’ll start by discussing your goals and what you'd like to change about your smile. We’ll review your dental and medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate for certain procedures. A thorough examination will follow, where we assess the health of your teeth, gums, and bite.
We might take X-rays, photographs, or digital scans to get a complete picture of your oral structure. Based on this, we’ll present treatment options like veneers, whitening, bonding, or orthodontics. You’ll also learn about the costs, timelines, and what to expect during the procedures. This is a great time to ask any questions you have about the process, recovery, or maintenance.
