Cosmetic dentistry, though largely optional and meant to improve the appearance of your smile, can also help improve the functionality of your teeth. With help from your cosmetic dentist, you can finally have the smile you have always wanted, whether that means repairing a small imperfection on an obvious tooth or completely overhauling your smile to make over your entire look. Find out more about cosmetic dentistry and what it can do for you with Dr. Peter Stoltz and Dr. Brooke Stoltz at Three Fountains Family Dentistry in West Columbia, SC.

What is cosmetic dentistry? 

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile rather than repairing a broken tooth to make it function correctly. Cosmetic treatments are not necessary to chewing or eating and only serve to give you a look you love. However, many cosmetic treatments can also restore a tooth and, on the other hand, many restorative procedures also improve a tooth aesthetically.

Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

• Veneers: Dental veneers act as a facade, covering the surface of the tooth to completely renew its appearance. The veneer itself is a super-thin shell of porcelain which can change the shape, length, width, and color of the tooth.
• Dental Implants: Dental implants permanently replace a missing tooth with a natural-looking prosthetic tooth. Your dentist implants dental implants directly into the jawbone, where they remain for the rest of your life to form a sturdy foundation for your replacement tooth.
• Zoom Teeth Whitening: Zoom teeth whitening is a procedure which can take place in a single dental visit and provide big results. You can work with your dentist to determine the strength of the treatment and ensure that you get the look you want.
• Dentures: Patients missing all their teeth can benefit from dentures, which replace an arch of missing teeth to allow patients to eat, chew, speak, and smile once more. Dentures can be a traditional, full denture, a partial denture which incorporates any remaining healthy teeth into its design, or even an implant-supported denture which takes advantage of dental implant technology to stay permanently in the mouth.
