7 Cosmetic Dental Procedures That Can Do Wonders for Your Smile!
A picture-perfect smile may be hard to come by naturally, but it’s totally within your reach with cosmetic dentistry. At Irvington Dental in Streamwood, Illinois, our cosmetic dental services can correct just about any imperfection in your teeth. Drs. Joon Han and Sung Park can make your smile the best it can be through cosmetic dentistry!
Here’s a list of seven cosmetic dental procedures that can do wonders for your smile:
1. Teeth whitening
It’s natural for teeth to stain or discolor over time. The most common causes of staining are age, smoking, and stain-causing foods and drinks. Fortunately, your Streamwood dentist can counter these effects with teeth whitening. Through the use of peroxide-based gels, we can bleach your teeth to restore your smile’s natural gleam. For instant whitening results, there’s in-office teeth whitening, which can be completed in one dental visit.
2. Porcelain veneers
Veneers are thin, porcelain shells used to conceal imperfections in your teeth that stand out when you smile. They attach to your tooth surface to conceal stains and chips, close tooth gaps, reshape odd-looking teeth, and correct minor alignment issues. Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted for your teeth to create a smile you’ll love!
3. Dental Bonding
Bonding also corrects minor tooth flaws like chips, cracks, stains, and gaps, but the process is quicker and less costly. Your dentist uses composite tooth-colored material to repair minor tooth damage, close gaps, or correct other cosmetic issues to make your smile more uniform and even. Bonding offers a quick fix for your teeth, as treatments can often be completed in a single dental visit.
4. Dental Crowns
Crowns can be used for both restorative and cosmetic improvements. Unlike veneers, which only cover the surface of your tooth, crowns are caps that cover your entire tooth. Cosmetic crowns are made of ceramic or porcelain, which closely resembles the appearance of natural tooth enamel. Crowns can be used to transform teeth that are broken, discolored, or irregular in size or shape, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.

5. Dental Implants
Missing teeth can have a devastating effect on your smile, aesthetically and otherwise. Fortunately, implants can restore your smile to like-new condition! Implants are often mistaken for natural teeth due to their realistic tooth-like structure and appearance. They can be used to restore any number of missing teeth to infuse new life into your smile!
6. Orthodontics
Orthodontics corrects problems with the alignment of your teeth, fixing such issues as crooked and overlapping teeth, bite problems, crowding, and uneven spacing to make your smile straight and even. By wearing a retainer as instructed after your treatment, you can keep your smile well-aligned for life!
