What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the aesthetic appearance of teeth, gums, and smiles. Unlike restorative dentistry, which aims to restore dental health and function, cosmetic dentistry is centered around enhancing the visual appeal of a person's smile. 

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Some benefits of cosmetic dentistry include:

• Improved Smile Aesthetics: Cosmetic dentistry can significantly enhance the beauty of your smile by addressing issues such as stained or discolored teeth, misaligned teeth, and other visual imperfections.
• Boosted Self-Confidence: A more attractive smile can boost your self-esteem and confidence, leading to a more positive self-image and improved social interactions.
• Natural-Looking Results: Advances in cosmetic dentistry techniques and materials ensure that the results of procedures like dental veneers and crowns appear natural and blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Many cosmetic procedures, when properly maintained, can provide lasting results, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health and appearance.
• Functional Improvements: Some cosmetic treatments can enhance aesthetics and improve the function of your bite and overall oral health.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding uses a composite resin meticulously crafted to cover the tooth's surface, seamlessly repairing damages and concealing cosmetic imperfections. This versatile technique extends to cavity and fracture repair for a natural smile. Whether your teeth have chips, cracks, or stains, composite dental bonding can help restore your smile. 

Teeth Whitening

Over time, you may notice your smile becoming less vibrant, resulting in a less sense of confidence. Fortunately, Löberg Dental Center offers a teeth whitening solution to restore and improve the beauty of your smile. We work to incorporate the most effective teeth whitening treatments in the least amount of time.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, stained, misshapen, or have gaps between them. Dental veneers are a versatile cosmetic option and can provide a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. 

Invisalign®

Invisalign® and Invisalign® Teen use clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. This alternative to traditional metal braces is often preferred for its discreet appearance and convenience. The Invisalign process involves a series of custom-made aligners that are changed every few weeks to gently shift the teeth into their desired positions. The aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?

Dental insurance coverage for cosmetic dentistry varies widely depending on the insurance plan and the specific procedures involved. In many cases, dental insurance primarily focuses on covering necessary and preventive dental treatments rather than elective or cosmetic procedures.

Is cosmetic dentistry safe?

Cosmetic dentistry is generally safe when performed by qualified and experienced dental professionals. As with any medical procedure, there can be risks and potential complications. Schedule a consultation with your dentist before cosmetic dental treatment to discuss your circumstances, expectations, and potential risks.

Who qualifies for cosmetic dental treatments?

Qualification for cosmetic dental treatments depends on various factors, including the specific procedure and the patient's dental health. Individuals with good oral health are generally better candidates for cosmetic procedures. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best options for your situation.

Is cosmetic dentistry the same as restorative dentistry?

No, cosmetic dentistry is not the same as restorative dentistry. They’re two distinct branches of dentistry with different focuses and goals. Cosmetic dentistry primarily deals with improving the appearance of teeth and enhancing the aesthetics of a person's smile. Restorative dentistry, on the other hand, focuses on repairing and restoring the function and structure of teeth damaged due to decay, trauma, or other issues.
