Improve Your Smile

Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dentistry concerned with improving the aesthetics of a person’s teeth and smile. There are many Vista cosmetic dentistry offices which offer all the latest cosmetic dentistry procedures. There is no reason that Vista residents cannot all have the smiles they want.

One popular use for cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. This is commonly done using peroxide to oxidize teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. Teeth whitening can be done either at home or in a number of Vista cosmetic dentistry offices. Whitening done in an office allows for almost immediate results and gives the patient greater control over the whiteness they desire. Whitening done at home will usually take a few months before the patient notices results. At home whitening is safe and easy to use. Porcelain veneers can also be added to improve the look of teeth. A nice feature of veneers is that they can also help protect teeth, enabling them to last longer. Veneers will typically last between 5 and 10 years.

Another popular procedure available at many Vista cosmetic dentistry offices is the installation of dental implants. Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. These implants are constructed out of various titanium alloys and are inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth. Over time the jaw heels around the implant, keeping it securely in place.

Braces are yet another popular cosmetic dental procedure. Braces are devices used to align and straighten teeth, while also working to improve dental health. Though expensive, the average cost for braces for an adult is $4,800, braces can be useful to correct a number of aesthetic dental problems. Today, braces are made more convenient by that fact that they can now be nearly invisible.

If you are thinking of improving your smile, consider a visit to a Vista cosmetic dentistry office. There, a dentist can help answer your questions about what techniques and procedures can help you get the smile you want.
