for more than 70% of fluorosis cases (staining or mottling of
tooth enamel that develops when children swallow fluoridated

From Dull to Dazzling: Enhancing Your Smile
With Cosmetic Dentistry
Oftentimes the dental profession is considered strictly for more intense
cleaning and hygiene purposes. However, a dentist is actually an artist
who can make your smile sensational. Most dentists now practice and perform
cosmetic techniques, not just the run-of-the-mill routine cleanings.
Cosmetic dentistry seeks to create a more aesthetically pleasing and
healthy smile.
Although you may be meticulous about your dental care routine, your teeth still
might not look their very best. Drinking coffee, tea or wine will take a toll
on your teeth, causing them to look dull and
stained. Aging or the use of some medications can also result in a discolored
smile. One easy, safe way to revive your smile from these factors is through
whitening.
Plenty of adults are looking towards dentistry to heighten the appearance
and function of their teeth. Cracked, chipped or unevenly spaced teeth
are easily resolved by procedures like bonding or veneers. Severely damaged
teeth can be repaired with crowns, while bridges and implants are natural-looking
options used to revitalize your smile. These methods will not only give
you a more beautiful smile, but will also rejuvenate your mouth’s
functionality.
If you are not satisfied with your smile and want to take it a level
up from dull to dazzling, speak with us about the many smile enhancing
options available to you.
