Your smile reflects your personality, and it's usually the first thing people notice about you. If yours isn’t reflecting your true self, cosmetic dentistry at Alta Dental may be the solution that will allow you to express yourself freely again.

5 Reasons Why Cosmetic Dentistry Might be Right for You

1. You Have Chips or Gaps between Teeth

If chips and gaps mar your smile, cosmetic dentistry offers solutions like bonding and veneers. Bonding uses a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair and reshape individual teeth; veneers provide a more comprehensive solution, covering the tooth's surface to create a flawless appearance.

2. You Have Cracked, Broken, or Discoloured Teeth

Aside from their appearance, cracked or broken teeth can often lead to discomfort and reduced confidence. A cosmetic dentist can restore your smile using natural-looking zirconia crowns, or veneers for a seamless cover.

3. You Have Crooked or Unevenly Spaced Teeth

Invisalign aligners offer a discreet and modern method for straightening crooked or unevenly spaced teeth. Invisalign fits snugly over your teeth, gently guiding them into the desired position without obtrusive metal braces.

4. You Have Dull or Stained Teeth

Teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most impactful cosmetic treatments available. Professional whitening can dramatically brighten your smile, lifting stains and refreshing a dull smile. 

5. You Have Tooth Shape or Size Differences

For teeth that are irregular in shape or size, cosmetic procedures like bonding or veneers can be used to create uniformity and symmetry. Aesthetic dental crowns also offer a way to adjust the appearance of a tooth to better match its neighbors and enhance the harmony of your smile.
