Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. It includes procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bonding, and orthodontics.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned teeth by providing a natural and attractive look.
The longevity of teeth whitening depends on the method used and lifestyle habits. Professional teeth whitening can last from six months to three years, but regular touch-ups and avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks can prolong results.

That's what SmileCraft is all about, and we have all necessary options available to us to craft your perfect smile here at Breathe Modern Dentistry.
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to teeth to repair chips, cracks, or gaps. The resin is hardened with a special light, then shaped and polished to blend with the natural teeth.
Dental veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years with proper care, although they may need to be replaced sooner if they become damaged or worn. They can last far beyond the averages however when designed well and bonded well. Understanding the bite and the system your placing cosmetic restorations in will be key to longevity, so find a dentist (like us) that understands those parts of your oral health well so your cosmetic changes will last!

A smile makeover is a comprehensive approach to improving your smile through multiple cosmetic dentistry procedures. It may include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, orthodontics, and gum reshaping.
Teeth whitening is safe for most people, but it's not recommended for children under 16, pregnant or lactating women, and individuals with sensitive teeth or certain dental conditions. We'll be happy to consult with you before you begin to ensure you'll get maximum results. It's also good to remember that a great time to whiten is right after your hygiene cleaning when your teeth are their cleanest!
The benefits of cosmetic dentistry include enhanced appearance, improved self-esteem, better oral health, and in some cases, improved functionality of teeth. But let us remind you of that smiles you love are smiles you take care of. Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to ensure your smile lasts a lifetime by finding confidence and pride in yours that will lead to optimum care and maintenance.
To maintain results, practice good oral hygiene, avoid staining foods and drinks, quit smoking, and schedule regular dental check-ups. We may also recommend specific products or touch-up treatments depending on your smile specifically.
While cosmetic dentistry is generally safe, risks may include sensitivity, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth. These are not common however when the whole system is reviewed in the workup process. Complications are easy to prevent when your dentist has a lot of experience, like we do ;-)
Yes, cosmetic dentistry can correct a gummy smile through procedures like gum contouring or crown lengthening, which reshape the gum line to create a more balanced smile. Braces and specific appliances can also help restore more balance to the jaw, which is the most common cause of gummy smiles. We can help you with both.
When choosing a cosmetic dentist, look for experience, positive patient reviews, and before-and-after photos of their work. It's essential to feel comfortable and confident in their ability to meet your needs. At Breathe Modern Dentistry, we provide numerous case examples and reviews so you can see and read about our expertise. A consultation with one of our skilled doctors will help you build the trust necessary for your cosmetic procedures!
