What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to various dental procedures that improve the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums or bite. Some of these procedures may also functionally improve the teeth or bite, but some are purely cosmetic.
Teeth Whitening
In Peoria Arizona, the most frequently requested cosmetic dental procedure is teeth whitening. To whiten teeth, your dentist can apply a safe, gentle bleaching agent that will remove years of embedded stains and discolorations while you relax. Teeth whitening is so fast, easy, and painless you can do it on your lunch hour.
Dental Shaping & Contouring
Another quick and easy improvement for your smile is dental shaping and contouring. Your Peoria cosmetic dentist can gently remove very small amounts of enamel to reshape your natural teeth in order to correct some issues such as chipped, crooked or misshapen teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Would you like to correct gaps between your teeth without wearing braces? Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that can be placed over the front of your natural teeth to eliminate any gaps. Today’s porcelain veneers have a completely natural appearance.

Dental Crowns
If a tooth is too badly cracked or damaged to be corrected with a veneer, a crown may be required. A dental crown is a cap that looks like a tooth and is cemented over a tooth or dental implant. It is used to restore strength to a damaged or misshapen tooth. Your cosmetic dentist will have the crown made to the appropriate size and shape to enhance your smile.
Smile Makeover
Perhaps you are in the market for slightly more in depth improvements for your teeth. If one or more teeth are missing, your smile can be restored using dental implants, a dental bridge or dentures.
If your bite is too far off to be corrected with tooth shaping or porcelain veneers your Peoria AZ dentist may recommend braces or Invisalign. Many issues can be corrected with Invisalign, which adults find more comfortable and less embarrassing than metal braces.
If you are interested in more than one procedure, you may want to discuss a smile makeover with your cosmetic dentist. A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic dental procedures to correct various flaws in your teeth. Your dentist can change the size, shape and color of your teeth along with correcting a smile that shows too much gum.
At Aesthetic Dentistry of Arrowhead your dentist will first perform a thorough examination of your teeth which includes x-rays and monitoring any functional issues. He will then discuss your options and his recommendations.
