What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry uses whitening treatments, restorations, or orthodontics to improve the appearance of your smile. Most cosmetic treatments are elective, so they aren’t covered by dental insurance, but that doesn’t mean they can’t improve your oral health. For example, filling a gap between two teeth can reduce plaque and tartar buildup.

What are some examples of cosmetic dentistry?

The Tropical Dental Care team offers several types of cosmetic dentistry, including:

Dental bonding

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair minor enamel damage, such as a chip. During treatment, your Tropical Dental Care provider applies the resin to your tooth. It dries immediately, improving your tooth’s appearance.

Tooth-colored fillings

Tooth-colored fillings repair tooth damage caused by decay but blend in seamlessly with your other teeth. If you have a cavity, a tooth-colored filling can prevent additional damage. Tooth-colored fillings don’t have any metal, so they’re safe for pregnant people and those with allergies.

Teeth whitening

The Tropical Dental Care team offers in-office teeth whitening. Teeth whitening uses solutions like hydrogen peroxide gel to remove stains from your teeth. One in-office teeth whitening treatment can make your smile up to eight shades lighter.

Dental veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells that bond to the front of your visible permanent teeth. They cover up imperfections like chips, cracks, or stains. 

Crowns

A crown is a cap bonded over a decaying or damaged tooth. Crowns restore your tooth’s size and appearance. At Tropical Dental Care, the team uses cosmetic crowns to rebuild worn-down or unusually shaped teeth.

SureSmile®

SureSmile uses removable plastic aligners to correct alignment problems like crowded teeth, gaps between the teeth, or a misaligned jaw. It’s a quick and more discreet treatment alternative to traditional metal braces. 

Implants

Implants are titanium screws inserted into an empty tooth socket. They fuse with your bone, providing a base for crowns, bridges, or implant-retained dentures.

What type of cosmetic dental treatment might benefit me?

The Tropical Dental Care team develops a cosmetic dentistry treatment plan based on your oral health history, goals, and budget. After a dental exam, a series of digital X-rays, and a discussion of your goals, the team can make custom recommendations.
