A beautiful smile can light up a room, but most of us were not born with Hollywood-ready smiles. In the past, cosmetic dental procedures were typically reserved for the wealthy and famous. However, that has changed. Now, procedures by a cosmetic dentist are accessible to more people than ever. From making your smile brighter to a complete smile makeover, Drs. Jonathan and Gretchen Kelley at Kelley Family Dental Center are here to give you the smile of your dreams.
With the help of Drs. Kelley and their team, you can completely transform your smile into a work of art. A skilled cosmetic dentist will work with you to decide which aspects of your smile you want to change. Cosmetic dentistry can do all of these things:
If you browse the personal care aisle of your favorite supermarket, you will see no shortage of DIY teeth-whitening products. However, these products are largely ineffective and have dubious safety. For your brightest smile, visit Drs. Kelley for state-of-the-art professional teeth whitening.
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are bonded to your front teeth. Porcelain veneers are nearly translucent and custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This solution can correct aesthetic issues like chips, gaps between teeth, and teeth that have become discolored. Also, veneers can be used to improve the appearance of short or narrow teeth.
Gone are the days when a cavity meant having an ugly metal filling in your molar. Today, dentists like Drs. Kelley offer tooth-colored composite fillings made from resin. These fillings are the same color as your teeth, so no one will ever know you’ve had dental work done.
In addition to being used for fillings, composite resin is also useful for doing minor repairs like fixing a chipped tooth. Composite resin can be used to close small gaps between teeth and even reshape teeth that are uneven.
If you need to restore the strength and appearance of a tooth, few things are as effective at doing this as a porcelain crown. A porcelain crown is a cap that covers your entire tooth. It can be used to cover a tooth that has been worn down or decayed.
