It helps you make a lasting first impression

Cosmetic dentistry redefines your appearance, and appearances are everything in the digital age. You may underrate the effect of crooked teeth on the people you meet every day, but this affects your image. A crooked smile can make you hesitate to laugh while in the company of friends and acquaintances.

Fixing chipped teeth and straightening those that are protruding can make a significant difference in your life. You get a new dazzling smile that inspires your confidence.

It is customizable

You might be concerned that cosmetic dentistry will give you results that make you look fake. This does not happen at East Village Dental Center since your dentist is dedicated to providing treatment that restores your confidence and achieves your cosmetic and health goals.

Your veneers are custom designed and given a human finish to ensure they look and feel like natural teeth. We understand that not every bit of our process should be replaced by technology to help you get results that have a human touch.

It does not hurt

Your doctor knows that you may have a phobia visiting a dentist, and will do all that is possible to make your visit comfortable. Most of our cosmetic dental procedures are painless. For instance, teeth whitening is pain-free, tastes good, and is quick to accomplish. If your phobia is severe, your doctor can use sedation during treatment.

It improves your oral health

Some cosmetic procedures can help achieve more than one function. For example, if you have a chipped tooth, this can spoil your smile, having it fixed also helps reduce bacterial infection and decay.

It is essential to strengthening your teeth’s structural integrity by using veneers to replace old and leaking fillings. This also helps you get more value for your money.

Dental implants can help fill gaps in your smile besides replacing the roots to help your jaw continue receiving nutrients when you chew. This promotes the growth of new cells to help the jaw remain strong and healthy.

You do not have to make the decision about cosmetic dentistry options alone. Consult your dentist to learn about the available options for rejuvenating your smile.
