Common cosmetic dental services include teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and tooth and gum contouring.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"teeth-whitening\"><b>Teeth whitening<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Over time, dark-colored foods and drinks (like coffee, tea and berries) can stain your teeth. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically and safely lighten the shade of your teeth and brighten your smile.<\/p>\n<p>Many dentists offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening. In-office whitening takes about one hour to complete. At-home whitening usually takes a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"dental-bonding\"><b>Dental bonding<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/treatments\/10922-dental-bonding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dental bonding<\/a>&nbsp;involves the application of tooth-colored composite resin. Your dentist uses this material to cover up and conceal cracks, craze lines (hairline cracks), discoloration and other cosmetic imperfections. Dental bonding can change the shape of a tooth to make it longer, wider or more uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Dental bonding usually needs replacing every five to seven years. It doesn\u2019t require the removal of natural tooth enamel either, which means it\u2019s completely reversible.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"porcelain-veneers\"><b>Porcelain veneers<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Made of medical grade ceramic, porcelain veneers are thin, strong shells that adhere to the front surfaces of your teeth. Like dental bonding, veneers can conceal a wide range of cosmetic flaws, including chips, cracks and discoloration.<\/p>\n<p>There are many types of veneers, including traditional and minimal prep. All veneers require at least some removal of natural enamel, which means they could be reversible depending on which kind you choose. In most cases, porcelain veneers need replacing every 10 years or so.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"tooth-contouring\"><b>Tooth contouring<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>This procedure removes small amounts of enamel to change the shape of your teeth. Because you only have so much natural enamel, there\u2019s a limit to how much tooth structure your dentist can remove. Your dentist can complete tooth contouring during a single office visit.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"gum-contouring\"><b>Gum contouring<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Some people are born with excess gum tissue. When this happens, it can make your smile appear \u201cgummy\u201d or unbalanced. During gum contouring, your dentist removes excess gum tissue and reshapes your gum line for a more symmetrical, balanced appearance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cosmetic Procedures Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance and aesthetics of your smile.
