Ways to Improve Your Smile


When it comes to lovely, white teeth, we all know about whitening and braces, but what other techniques can be used to get the perfect smile?  Of course, each person is different, so it’s advisable to have a consultation regarding your cosmetic dentistry in Park Slope, to discover which options will work best for you.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is when a white filler is added to the bottom edges of the teeth. There is no drilling, and it makes the edges look neater and straighter. Bonding has become quite popular, with a lot of you tubers and celebrities who want their smiles to look natural.

Veneers for a White Straight Smile

Many people seek out cosmetic dentistry for bonding and then upgrade to porcelain veneers as they only need to be replaced every 5-10 years. Porcelain veneers can be more durable than Cosmetic Bonding but are also more expensive. This process also requires more destruction of a tooth’s surface. If your teeth are fairly straight to start with, then the destruction to your teeth surface will not be that much. And, if you have worn away enamel, veneers are a good choice.

Botox and Laser for a Gummy Smile

Cosmetic dentistry may involve Botox being injected on either side of the nose, which inactivates the muscles, so when you smile, you don't reveal as much of the gum. As a temporary measure, it will need to be done every 3-6 months. A longer-term solution is a cosmetic gum lift.  The cosmetic dentist can cut off some of the gum with a laser, and as the laser cauterizes, so there is no bleeding.
