Cosmetic DentistryShowing off your best smile is an achievement which can boost your confidence and increase your self-esteem. However, getting your smile to the state you want it often requires help from your cosmetic dentistry and their expertise in dental procedures to improve the appearance of your smile. Which cosmetic density procedures are best for you? Find out with Dr. Pirooz Zomorrodi at Advance Family Dental Care in Naperville, IL.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

  • Crowns and Bridges: Porcelain dental restorations like crowns and bridges are often a crucial aspect of cosmetic dentistry and reworking your smile. A dental crown fits over a damaged tooth to protect it against daily wear and tear and stabilize large fillings, all while improving the appearance of the tooth it covers. A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth above the gum line by anchoring onto the two surrounding natural teeth using dental crowns.
  • Invisalign: Orthodontic treatment can truly renew your smile and overhaul your appearance. While traditional braces require that you compromise your look with metal brackets and wires throughout treatment, Invisalign’s clear aligner trays allow you to straighten your teeth in style, without the world knowing. You can also remove the trays to brush and eat, ensuring your treatment process is as easy as possible.
  • Veneers: Dental veneers cover the surface of the teeth to rework their appearance. Made of porcelain, veneers can subtly tweak a tooth’s appearance, changing its length, width, color, or shape, or completely change the appearance of the tooth altogether. Veneers are a powerful cosmetic dentistry tool and can provide dramatic results.
  • Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is one of the fastest and easiest ways to give your smile a boost. This non-invasive technique uses chemical reactions between the whitening gel and your teeth’s stains to break down the stains at the molecular level. This process occurs right in your dentist’s office and takes only about an hour.
  • Dental Implants: Dental implants replace a missing tooth. However, unlike other teeth replacement options, implants also replace a tooth’s root, allowing your Naperville dentist to permanently and effectively fill the gaps in your smile, overhaul your look, and provide increased functionality to your teeth.

Correct a variety of cosmetic imperfections and enhance your smile with dental veneers. Dental veneers are thin covers placed over veneersproblem teeth. They can improve the appearance of teeth that are slightly crooked, oddly shaped, or have an uneven spacing. Dental veneers can also be used to conceal cracks, chips, stains, or discolorations. They can completely transform your smile. At Advance Family Dental Care, Dr. Pirooz Zomorrodi is your Naperville, IL, dentist for dental veneers.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin covers applied to the front of teeth requiring cosmetic enhancement. Before applying the veneers, a thin layer of enamel is first shaved from the front of each tooth. A dental adhesive is then used to permanently adhere the dental veneers to the teeth. Shaving a thin layer of enamel allows the veneers sit flush with the surrounding teeth rather than protrude out past any teeth without veneers. Dental veneers are color-matched to your existing teeth for a completely natural look. Once placed, they’ll look like your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

There are several benefits to getting dental veneers. Not only do they improve the appearance of many different types of imperfections, they also are also color-matched to your existing teeth so they blend in and look completely natural. Your Naperville, IL, dentist can help you decide if dental veneers are the right cosmetic dental option for you. Dental veneers can benefit your smile in the following ways:

  • Cover and protect cracked or chipped teeth
  • Conceal discolorations and stains on teeth
  • Correct uneven spacing between teeth
  • Close small gaps between teeth
  • Improve the shape of oddly shaped teeth
  • Smooth out uneven surfaces on teeth

Enhance your smile with dental veneers by concealing and correcting cosmetic imperfections. To learn more about dental veneers, schedule an appointment with Dr. Zomorrodi, your dentist in Naperville, IL, by calling Advance Family Dental Care at (630) 358-9899.

When your smile looks good, you're more likely to keep it looking that way. If your smile has lost its attractive color, a professional teeth whiteningbleaching session at the dentist's office can restore it. Let the dental team at Advance Family Dental Care in Naperville, IL, brighten up your smile with teeth whitening.

When Your Smile Loses Its Luster...

If your smile has become dull and less vibrant, you’re certainly not alone. According to Hexa Research, the market for teeth whitening products is expected to exceed $7 billion as more and more people try to reclaim their smiles. Many people lose the original color of their teeth over time due to aging, food consumption, and poor dental hygiene. Luckily many dental stains and discolorations can be removed with just one professional teeth whitening treatment.

Professional Teeth Whitening Works

If you’re going to whiten your teeth, you might as well go with a treatment that you know will work. If you try certain store-bought products there’s no guarantee that you’ll see results and they often require weeks of work. If you choose to visit your Naperville, IL, dentist for professional teeth whitening, you'll walk out of the office that same day with a brighter smile after about an hour. You won't have to do any work—leave it all to your dentist.

Brighter Smile, Brighter Life

A smile survey by Kelton Research revealed that having a brighter, nice-looking smile can actually brighten up your life and maybe even the lives of others around you. The study found that people are considered more professional, successful, outgoing, and confident when they have their teeth whitened. You should feel proud to show your smile to the world—don't let yellow or stained teeth hold you back any longer.

Magician Michel Grandinetti can levitate a 500-pound motorcycle, melt into a 7-foot-tall wall of solid steel, and make borrowed rings vanish and reappear baked inside bread. Yet the master illusionist admits to being in awe of the magic that dentists perform when it comes to transforming smiles. In fact, he told an interviewer that it’s “way more important magic than walking through a steel wall because you’re affecting people’s health… people’s confidence, and you’re really allowing people to… feel good about themselves.”

Michael speaks from experience. As a teenager, his own smile was enhanced through orthodontic treatment. Considering the career path he chose for himself — performing for multitudes both live and on TV — he calls wearing an orthodontic device (braces) to align his crooked teeth “life-changing.” He relies on his welcoming, slightly mischievous smile to welcome audiences and make the initial human connection.

A beautiful smile is definitely an asset regardless of whether you’re performing for thousands, passing another individual on a sidewalk or even, research suggests, interviewing for a job. Like Michael, however, some of us need a little help creating ours. If something about your teeth or gums is making you self-conscious and preventing you from smiling as broadly as you could be, we have plenty of solutions up our sleeve. Some of the most popular include:

  • Tooth Whitening. Professional whitening in the dental office achieves faster results than doing it yourself at home, but either approach can noticeably brighten your smile.
  • Bonding. A tooth-colored composite resin can be bonded to a tooth to replace missing tooth structure, such a chip.
  • Veneers. This is a hard, thin shell of tooth-colored material bonded to the front surface of a tooth to change its color, shape, size and/or length; mask dental imperfections like stains, cracks, or chips, and compensating for excessive gum tissue.
  • Crowns. Sometimes too much of a tooth is lost due to decay or trauma to support a veneer. Instead, capping it with a natural-looking porcelain crown can achieve the same types of improvements. A crown covers the entire tooth replacing more of its natural structure than a veneer does.

If you would like more information about ways in which you can transform your smile, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about the techniques mentioned above by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles “Teeth Whitening,” “Repairing Chipped Teeth,” and “Porcelain Crowns & Veneers.”
