  • Motivating greater self-care in all areas of life
  • Relieves stress from negative thoughts.
  • Improve professional opportunities.
  • Enhance relationships and increase romantic feelings.

Teeth Whitening Treatments

Perhaps the most common cosmetic dental procedure is teeth whitening, and yet it is a procedure that can quickly improve confidence and self-esteem thanks to the nearly immediate results.

There are a number of methods that can be performed in-office and at home. There are even natural remedies that many people enjoy the effects of these days.

At-home teeth whitening options most often use peroxides to bleach the teeth or abrasives to scrub off the top layer of stains, these include:

  • whitening toothpastes
  • whitening strips
  • whitening gels that can be painted on or put in trays.
 
In-office procedures include:
  • Gels with bleaches that are “light activated”.
  • Power bleaching. Which is hydrogen peroxide in water.
  • Some offices even have laser whitening services.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers offer a transformative solution for addressing chipped, misaligned, or uneven teeth through a procedure that is minimally invasive. 

There are many different types of veneers available including: 

  • composite
  • porcelain
  • no-prep
  • removable veneers

Veneers typically only take two appointments to fit to your smile. The first appointment is a consultation and preparation procedure where a small amount of enamel will be removed from your teeth and impressions are taken.

The second appointment the dentist will make sure the size, fit, and coloring all looks great and then the veneers are fitted and bonded if needed. 

Most veneers are permanent but some can be removed, particularly “removable veneers” which are mounted on a retainer.

Learn more about veneers on our page about veneers and the procedures associated with them.

The Health Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

While cosmetic dentistry primarily focuses on improving appearance, it also offers important health benefits. For example, while many people think of orthodontic treatments and dental implants as cosmetic treatments, both of these treatments can contribute to better oral health. Proper tooth alignment can prevent dental issues like gum disease and jaw problems, and dental implants can restore oral function and bone health. The truth is that dental aesthetics and oral health are deeply interconnected. Here at Platinum Dental, we believe that oral health, including aesthetics, is a part of the holistic health care we seek to provide.

Misconception 1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Only About Looks

One common misconception about cosmetic dentistry is that it is solely focused on improving appearance without any functional benefits. In reality, cosmetic dentistry goes beyond aesthetics and can have significant positive effects on oral health. For example, dental veneers not only enhance the appearance of teeth but also provide an added layer of protection for chipped or damaged teeth. Similarly, orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign not only straighten teeth for a beautiful smile but also improve bite alignment, reducing the risk of jaw pain and dental problems.

Misconception 2: Cosmetic Procedures are Painful and Invasive

Another misconception surrounding cosmetic dentistry is the belief that these procedures are painful and require invasive treatments. While some procedures may cause mild discomfort, advancements in dental technology have made many cosmetic treatments minimally invasive and virtually painless. For instance, dental bonding and teeth whitening are non-invasive procedures that can often be completed in a single visit with little to no discomfort. Dental practices also prioritize patient comfort, and sedation options are available for those with dental anxiety or sensitivity.

A beautiful smile is within your reach, and cosmetic dentistry offers a range of options to help you achieve it. By addressing aesthetic concerns and improving oral health, these procedures can make a significant difference in your overall well-being.
