Why a Cosmetic Dentist Is a Good Choice for You

Let a Las Vegas Cosmetic Dentist give you a great Las Vegas smile!

In Las Vegas, a party town, we tend smile a lot. We like to see and be seen. It’s no fun to dress up and go out on the town, but be afraid to smile and laugh with friends!  For anyone with stained, broken, missing or just unattractive teeth, smiling can be a real downer.

Already see a dentist regularly?  Maybe you’ve had work done on your teeth, but you still don’t have a smile that you’re totally happy to share with friends and strangers. Maybe your dentist does a great job on keeping your mouth healthy, but you still don’t like the way your teeth look. If so, a cosmetic dentist can make a big difference in your life and get you back out there to enjoy life in Las Vegas.

What is a Cosmetic Dentist?

Cosmetic dentistry is dental work that’s designed specifically to improve the appearance of your smile. While traditional dentists focus mainly on cleaning and fixing teeth and maintaining your dental health, cosmetic dentists focus not only on dental health, but also on how your teeth look, so you really have something to smile about. Cosmetic dentists are trained to perform a variety of procedures, including techniques to improve the color of your teeth, correct the spacing or alignment, repair chipped teeth and replace outdated dental treatments with something more attractive. A great cosmetic dentist will consult closely with you to develop your personal treatment plan to give you the great smile you want.

When Should You See a Las Vegas Cosmetic Dentist?

If you’re considering cosmetic dentistry, you’re not alone. There are lots of things a cosmetic dentist can help you with.  Here are some of the biggest reasons people go  to see a cosmetic dentist:

• When your smile has lost its brightness. As you age, your teeth typically lose the bright whiteness of youth. Coffee, tea, wine and cigarettes can cause staining that yellows teeth, adding years to your looks. A cosmetic dentist can give you a younger-looking smile with bleaching, bonding or other whitening procedures.
• When your teeth are noticeably damaged or worn. A chipped tooth can have an uncomfortable sharp edge in addition to leaving an imperfection in your smile. It’s also possible that your teeth have become ground down unevenly over time. Some wear is natural, but too much in one spot can lead to pain. A cosmetic dentist can repair or reshape damaged teeth and prevent additional wear, which can help maintain your good oral health.
• When you have missing teeth. If you’ve lost a tooth to damage or decay, you don’t have to settle for old-fashioned dentures. Modern cosmetic dentistry offers a wide range of solutions, including bridges, crowns and implants. Replacing a missing tooth is also important for your overall oral health to keep the rest of your teeth in proper alignment.
• When you feel self-conscious about your smile. If something’s holding you back from flashing your pearly whites, you don’t need to suffer in silence. Problems with your teeth can lead to lowered self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence. It can also hold you back from expressing yourself, and may even affect your ability to thrive in social situations or in your job, if you need to interact with the public. A cosmetic dentist can pinpoint the issue and offer the right solution for you.
