General dentistry helps you enjoy healthy teeth and gums. It prevents serious disease and helps with restoration when decay happens. However, general dentistry does not make alterations in the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. A cosmetic Dentist in Kona can help you with the aesthetic appearance of your teeth and develop a plan for a smile makeover if that is what you want. The following will cover the procedures that are used to make your smile look better. Visit website for more information.
- Gum Contouring – This procedure is used for people with too much gum coverage around their teeth. The dentist uses laser technology to sculpt and contour your gum line to enhance your smile.
- Porcelain Veneers – Veneers are thin porcelain shells used to cover a tooth to alter its appearance. They can improve the appearance of a tooth’s position, color, shape, size, and make it look uniform so that it matches your other teeth. Veneers are also used to cover up fractured or chipped teeth.
- Dental Bonding – Dental bonding is often used to correct mild to moderate cosmetic problems with your teeth. This option can correct many of the same issues as veneers, but at less expense. Dental bonding is not a permanent solution like veneers, but it does help if you are on a budget.
- Laser Whitening – Laser teeth whitening takes about 45 minutes to an hour in the office. This process whitens your teeth several levels so you can feel confident about your smile.
- Smile Makeover – All of the cosmetic procedures are suitable for smile makeovers. Additional services include correcting crooked teeth, replacing missing teeth, repairing previous dental work, and fix jaw misalignment issues to help you present an aesthetically pleasing smile. Each patient is different, so the dentist will evaluate and recommend a plan for your specific needs.
Some cases of cosmetic dental work may require surgery and/or dental implants depending on the problems that need to be addressed. If you are unhappy with your smile due to problem teeth, a cosmetic dentist can help determine what treatments and services will best suit your circumstances. Carter S Yokoyama DDS provides a variety of dental services from general dentistry to cosmetic dentistry for you and your family.
