In an independent study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, participants were questioned about their image. The majority stated that their number one cosmetic desire in terms of dentistry was a whiter smile. This remains one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services we provide at Riverside Dental Group. There are certainly many others.

Straightening Your Smile

Another popular choice for improving your smile is orthodontic treatment. In the same AACD study, when asked, “What is the first thing you notice about a person’s smile?” most participants answered “straightness.” Straight teeth enhance your image, but will also help you maintain better oral health. Orthodontics of various types correct harmful malocclusion and embarrassing crooked teeth. For image-conscious adults, Invisalign clear braces are a great alternative to traditional metal brackets and wires. The clear alignment trays move your teeth gradually to the correct position to give you a healthier, more beautiful smile. Additionally, Invisalign clear braces are removable for cleaning and eating. The treatment also takes a relatively short time – generally about a year in the majority of cases.

Porcelain Veneers

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry poll, most Americans believe that crooked teeth, discoloration, and large spaces between teeth make smiles unattractive. If teeth whitening, closing gaps in your smile, and correcting misshaped teeth are a priority for your smile makeover, porcelain veneers may be the right cosmetic procedure for you. This commonly requested cosmetic service enhances your smile in many positive ways. Thin porcelain shells cover the front of your teeth to cover discoloration, gaps, cracks, and jagged edges. Veneers allow an entire smile makeover in as little as two office visits. Stain resistant and durable, the porcelain shells hide many smile imperfections at once while maintaining strong teeth.
