Are you satisfied with how your smile looks? Or are there aspects of it you'd like to improve? Or maybe you're living with worn or chipped teeth that impact function and aesthetics? In either case, cosmetic dentistry may be a solution for you. When you restore your smile's aesthetics, you often also restore function, and vice versa. Here's what you should know. 

When Should You See a Cosmetic Dentist?

Cosmetic dentistry is very personal because everyone's needs are different. When you come in for an evaluation with Dr. Leonardi at Glen Lake Dental, she will take time to discuss your needs and smile goals, take x-rays and photos, and provide a thorough exam. She wants to understand what's beyond your needs (your goals) so you'll be thrilled with your results.

Some of the treatment procedures she may recommend are:

  • Tooth-colored fillings — To eliminate small areas of tooth decay.
  • Dental bonding — To fix small cosmetic concerns like chipped teeth.
  • Porcelain veneers — To change the shape, size, and shade of your smile for a complete transformation.
  • Invisalign clear braces — To straighten teeth without the hassle of wearing braces.
  • PowerProx six-month braces — To make minor corrections quickly, within months instead of years.
  • Professional teeth whitening — To eliminate tooth stains and discoloration.
  • BOTOX® — To relax fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Leonardi may also recommend breaking your treatment into phases if your plan is more complicated.
