With advancements in cosmetic dentistry, your dentist has the ability to transform your smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is Cosmetic Dentistry?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone is born with a perfect smile, but thanks to the development of cosmetic dentistry, people can change the appearance of their teeth into a smile they love. Your cosmetic dentist can reshape your teeth, close spaces, restore worn or short teeth and alter the length of your teeth. \u00a0Some common cosmetic dentistry procedures include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeth whitening and bleaching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowns<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veneers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contouring and shaping<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dentist will work with you to determine which cosmetic dentistry option is the best for your smile improvements. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A Restored Smile with Dental Veneers<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your teeth are cracked, stained, uneven or chipped, dental veneers may be the perfect option for transforming the most damaged smile. \u00a0Veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of your teeth. These thin, porcelain shells are custom-designed by your dentist to perfectly cover and match your natural smile to mask most any dental blemish, including stains and cracks. Compared to many treatment options, veneers will last a long time, up to 20 years, and correct the alignment of your smile by covering damaged or misshapen teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A Brighter, Whiter Smile with Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After years of drinking tea, coffee or soda, it is not uncommon for you to develop a discolored smile. \u00a0Even bad habits such as smoking can darken your once white smile. With teeth whitening, eliminating stains and enhancing your natural pearly whites can produce dramatic results in as little as an hour. \u00a0In-office teeth bleaching performed by a professional dentist involves applying a bleaching gel to the teeth and activating the whitening solution with special lighting for approximately 30 minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the bleaching gel has penetrated the stains, it is rinsed off. \u00a0Your dentist will provide you with trays, custom designed to perfectly fit your teeth so that you can continue the bleaching process at home with a less powerful gel. By using the gel and the trays on a regular basis, you can touch up and continue the bleaching process. Or, if some years later you notice your teeth shade fading, you can use the trays and gel to bleach again, without having to go through the in-office procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cosmetic dentistry offers many options for people who are unhappy with their teeth. \u00a0If you are one of the many people who desire a change in your smile, consult your cosmetic dentist for more information on your available options. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cosmetic Dentistry | McNerney &amp; Wenzon Dental<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"McNerny &amp; Wenzon Dental offers cosmetic dentistry options to help improve your smile.
