This type of dental service casts a wide net as far as available treatments, but learning more about some of the more popular ones can certainly give you a more concrete idea of what to expect. Keep on scrolling, and you\u2019ll find a list of fantastic smile possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeless and Comprehensive: Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to achieve a classic look and treat multiple dental complaints all at once, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunnydentallancaster.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> will not disappoint. They\u2019ve had a Hollywood-esq air about them since their inception in the 1920\u2019s \u2013 which makes sense, considering they were crafted as a temporary cosmetic solution for actors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time and science have perfected the porcelain veneer, so that nowadays these thin, ceramic facades can last up to 15 years with proper care. Your dentist will remove a tiny sliver of enamel from the front-facing side of your affected teeth, then replace this external layer with your customized veneers. Minor chips, cracks, stains, and gaps will be seamlessly concealed behind your new cosmetic surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick and Simple: Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dental bonding lacks an intriguing backstory by comparison, it absolutely makes up for it with attractive simplicity and minimalism. This treatment requires little-to-no preparation for your teeth and can be completed in as little as one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All your dentist has to do is mix together pigmented composite resins. Like porcelain veneers, dental bonding can be color-matched to the exact shade of your natural enamel. <em>Unlike<\/em> porcelain veneers, your dentist will mold the resin to only fill in specific chips and gaps or conceal cracks and discoloration. Dental bonding is quite fluid, so it can perfect your smile without having to spread over your entire tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Realistic and Reliable: Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cosmetic dental treatments overlap with other areas of dentistry. The clearest example of this is dental implants. There\u2019s a definite cosmetic element in that they replace missing teeth to complete your smile and are tailored to look and fit just right. But they\u2019re also considered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunnydentallancaster.com\/missing-teeth.html\">dental restoration<\/a>, since they restore oral function and can improve a patient\u2019s dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a cosmetic, dental implants look incredibly like real teeth. As a restoration, they\u2019re impressively reliable. The aesthetic, tooth-like cap is attached to a biocompatible post that\u2019s anchored down to the jawbone. Thanks to this ingenious design, there\u2019s no slippage, and patients can enjoy more foods due to their cosmetic restoration\u2019s superior bite power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Consultations Yield Quality Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, there are many different directions you could take your cosmetic dental treatment \u2013 and your smile. To determine which option is best for you and your unique oral situation, schedule a consultation with your dentist. They\u2019ll help you achieve results you\u2019ll love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunnydentallancaster.com\/meet-our-dentists.html\">Sunny Dental<\/a>, we have several skilled dentists and oral surgeons on staff, each with their own unique experiences and specialties.
