Family cosmetic dentistry in Homewood, AL, includes treatments that make your smile brighter. The three most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments are veneers, teeth whitening and Invisalign.
Veneers
Veneers are white porcelain appliances that are attached to individual teeth. The treatment is recommended for yellowing teeth, chipped teeth and other common cosmetic concerns. The procedure for veneers is relatively simple. The tooth surface is prepared for the veneer by gently scuffing the surface with special tools. A dental adhesive is used to attach the veneer to the tooth. Veneers can last for several years.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a type of family cosmetic dentistry in Homewood, AL, that brightens the color of your teeth. You can choose from at-home treatments and those that are performed in the dentist office. Some people find that in-office teeth whitening produces better results, but at-home treatments are quite effective.
Invisalign
If you have crooked teeth, Invisalign may be an option. The treatment is an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign is a series of invisible plastic aligners that you use, and each aligner works for approximately two weeks. For some patients, Invisalign offers shorter treatment times compared to braces. The aligners are worn at least 22 hours each day and removed only for eating and brushing the teeth.
