One of them is to finally have an appearance that makes you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverridgesmiles.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">smile<\/a>. How can that be accomplished, though? Your cosmetic dentist in Kenner explains how cosmetic dentistry can totally remake your image and give your confidence a major boost!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Purpose of Cosmetic Dentistry<\/h2>\n<p>With the innovations in dentistry, cosmetic care now provides a way to, in many cases, address both the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth. An example of the dual benefits is with a dental crown placement.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas in times past, a crown replacement would usually result in a glaring piece of metal in your mouth, the tooth-colored crown offered by your cosmetic dentist provides a strong, lasting and aesthetically-pleasing restoration.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to purely enhancing the way you look, there are other cosmetic procedures to choose from.<\/p>\n<h2>Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>If you have teeth stains or discoloration that have left you reluctant to smile, then teeth whitening is what you need. Using only the highest-quality bleaches, your cosmetic dentist will equip you with an at-home whitening kit with special instructions on how to safely and effectively apply the product.<\/p>\n<p>In just two weeks of usage, you can expect to see remarkable results that will leave your teeth looking brand-new!<\/p>\n<h2>Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n<p>Another option for overcoming teeth stains, gaps, crookedness or misalignment are porcelain veneers. The tooth-colored shells fit directly over the teeth in the smile zone to create the perfect image.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the usual steps to the procedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enamel removal <\/strong>\u2013 The first step of the procedure is for your dentist to remove a thin layer of enamel so the veneers will fit properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bite impressions <\/strong>\u2013 Once the teeth are prepared, bite impressions are taken and will be sent to a trusted ceramicist so your veneers can be crafted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temporary veneers <\/strong>\u2013 Your teeth will need to be protected while waiting on your permanent veneers to be crafted, so your cosmetic dentist will place a temporary set.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Final placement <\/strong>\u2013 Once the permanent veneers return, you\u2019ll be invited back to have them placed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The final result is that you\u2019ll have the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n<h2>The Overall Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry<\/h2>\n<p>Studies have proven that improving the way you feel about yourself can have a positive impact on your overall health. That\u2019s because it boosts your confidence, and it aids in the production of the hormones that foster relaxation like serotonin and endorphins.<\/p>\n<p>The result is that your body produces less stress hormones, which are known to contribute to the breakdown of the immune system and can increase inflammation throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p>Cosmetic dentistry can also help you overcome a traumatic past, especially if you were teased in childhood about the condition of your teeth. Thus, gaining an amazing new smile can serve as a source of healing.<\/p>\n<p>So to experience the joys of cosmetic dentistry, and to make the upcoming year one full of happiness, contact your cosmetic dentist to schedule a consultation today!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For well over a decade, Dr. Kerry T.
