What cosmetic issues can be addressed with cosmetic dentistry?

Here are some common dental conditions that can be treated with cosmetic dentistry:

• Brown stains on teeth: Dark beverages, smoking, certain medications, and other substances can cause stains and discoloration.
• Chips and cracks: Accidents, sports injuries, or biting down on hard objects can lead to noticeable chips and fractures.
• Misalignment: Crooked or overlapping teeth may be a source of embarrassment for some individuals.
• Gaps between teeth: Big spaces between teeth can make people self-conscious when they smile.
• Missing teeth: Tooth loss can result from accidents, severe decay, or aging.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

So, what is cosmetic dentistry? This branch of dentistry focuses on the overall appearance of the teeth and gums. While traditional dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health, cosmetic dentistry enhances the aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Khanna offers various treatments to address a wide range of concerns, including teeth whitening, teeth straightening, veneers, dental contouring, and restorations like crowns and bridges.

What should you expect during a consultation?

During your initial consultation, Dr. Khanna will evaluate the current state of your teeth and gums before discussing your goals. We may also take x-rays and impressions to help create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Once we have a comprehensive understanding of your oral health, we can discuss your options and help you decide on the best possible course of action.

What to expect in terms of results

Results vary, but most patients see improvements right away once their course of treatment is completed. For example, teeth whitening can brighten teeth by up to several shades in just one afternoon, while veneers can transform the shape and color of your teeth in one or two appointments.
