cosmetic dentist Allen TX

Has your dental provider ever asked you what you don’t like about your smile? What was your answer? Are your unhappy due to stained, crooked, broken or missing teeth? If you answered yes to any or all of these conditions, it is time to visit our cosmetic dentist serving Allen TX.

There are many procedures that can produce the smile makeover you desire. If your teeth are stained or have lost their luster due to age, medications taken, smoking or consuming too many sweet or dark colored beverages, your cosmetic dentist can introduce you to any number of solutions.

Generally the most cost and time efficient treatment that produces a large impact is teeth whitening. The whitening procedure done by your dental provider can whiten your teeth many shades and is generally more effective than products that you can purchase over the counter. The reason is the strength of whitening agent in professionally applied products allows your cosmetic dentist to produce the desired result in a short amount of time.

If you are experiencing broken or misshapen teeth, or perhaps you have an unattractive gap between your teeth that you wish wasn’t there, there is a dental product referred to as dental veneers that resolve many of these issues. A dental veneer is a thin covering that is made of a porcelain material that your cosmetic dentist applies directly over your existing teeth. Dental veneers are ideal in that they can cover up many flaws without extensive invasive treatment.

If you have lost a tooth in your smile line, there are many different options for your consideration. Whether it is one or several teeth you need to replace, your cosmetic dentist can offer you a partial or bridge. Of a more permanent nature and a result that is as close to your own teeth as possible is a dental implant.

A dental implant is the perfect answer for a healthy person who is looking to enhance their smile by placing teeth where one or more teeth have been lost. A dental implant is a small device much like a screw that is made of a titanium type material that is imbedded in your gum tissue. During the months after receiving your implant, the implant adheres to bone tissue during the healing process giving your new tooth stability much like the root of your natural tooth.

Once the healing process is completed, your cosmetic dentist will make a final restoration to match the shape and shade of your existing teeth making your dental implant difficult to discern from your natural teeth.

Whatever your dental needs, a smile makeover can boost your self-confidence, which is a good reason for a big smile! To schedule your consultation, please call The Dentist of Allen at 972.727.8249 today.
