What You Need To Know About Cosmetic Dentistry

Your teeth are part of the very first impression you can make, so there's nothing wrong with wanting to make a good one. Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of treatments that help make sure your healthy teeth look the part. To find out which are best suited for your own needs contact Dr. Hanah Pham of Reston Sunrise Dentistry in Reston, VA.

Restoring Your Smile

Filling cavities may not seem like part of cosmetic dentistry, but it's nevertheless a very important dental procedure to prevent the spread of decay. What a lot of patients don't like is the notorious silver appearance of traditional amalgam fillings. But your dentist can employ composite resin fillings that will match the color of your natural teeth.

Your dentist can also use this same material to restore teeth that have been chipped, teeth that are worn or are otherwise misshapen. Although it's a treatment reserved for people who have otherwise healthy teeth.

But for a full smile transformation speak with your cosmetic dentist about veneers. These are thin caps that are bonded onto your teeth to give you the smile you've been dreaming of.

They adhere to your teeth in a similar way to crowns, but because they are thinner they do not require as much of your tooth to be reshaped for a proper set.
