Royal Oak and Birmingham, MI
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your smile? If so, you are not alone. Nearly 60% of respondents to one recent study said they disliked the way their smile looked. Today, getting the smile you always wanted is more attainable than ever thanks to modern cosmetic dentistry. This specialization of dental science uses beautiful materials, advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to produce beautiful results. Hartrick Dentistry is proud to provide these services to our customers in Royal Oak, Birmingham and the surrounding areas in Michigan. Today on the blog, we take a look at some of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures we perform in Royal Oak.
Teeth whitening: Not only is this the most popular cosmetic procedure at our practice, professional dental whitening is the most common treatment performed in cosmetic dentistry as a whole. It’s popular for several reasons. First, brightening your teeth by just a few shades can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your smile. Second, a professional whitening treatment produces more significant results that last longer, and does so with lower risk of causing enhanced sensitivity in your teeth because the procedure is overseen by our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Nancy Hartrick. Thirdly, a whitening treatment is convenient, as it can be completed in an hour or less.
Veneers: Are you self-conscious about teeth that are chipped, cracked or broken? Do you have a visible gap between teeth? Maybe you have teeth of different sizes or mild crookedness that makes you embarrassed. Veneers can simultaneously address all of these aesthetic flaws and more. A veneer is a thin shell that fits over the front of the tooth or teeth being treated. At Hartrick Dentistry, we offer veneers made of dental porcelain. This is a beautiful and durable material that resists surface stains and reflects light in a similar manner to genuine tooth enamel. Receiving veneers entails two separate appointments at our dental practice in Royal Oak. Contact our office today if you have questions about our veneer process.
Crowns: Dr. Hartrick believes in preserving your teeth as long it remains feasible to do so. A dental crown can save a tooth even if it is badly damaged due to an injury or decay, by replacing the entire exterior of a tooth. A crown is beautiful, durable and covered in the same dental porcelain we use to make our veneers. That means we can tailor the color of your crown to match the shade of your other natural teeth, allowing your restored tooth to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. We also use a crown at the conclusion of either a root canal or dental implant procedure. Our crown procedures also are more convenient than ever thanks to our CEREC computer system. This technology allows us to map, plan and fabricate a permanent crown all in one appointment, rather than having to receive a temporary restoration and then get your final crown at a subsequent visit.
