This is something you\u2019ve been wanting for years but never really committed to making happen. As a result, you\u2019ve experienced a drop in your self-esteem and would like to regain it. That\u2019s why your cosmetic dentist of State College has some exciting information to share that will assist in making your dreams become a reality through the wonders of cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is Cosmetic Dentistry?<\/h2>\n<p>Cosmetic dentistry is the realm of care that focuses on the aesthetic appeal of your smile. It is divided into several different services, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Porcelain Veneers <\/strong>\u2013 Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are custom made to fit your teeth. They can get rid of stains, close gaps and address chips, cracks, crooked and uneven teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meta-Free Restorations <\/strong>\u2013 These processes allow for your teeth to be repaired without the use of metals. Instead, it incorporates materials that closely resemble your natural enamel so that you maintain a normal and healthy looking smile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cosmetic Bonding <\/strong>\u2013 This is a quick and easy way to repair minor cracks, chips and stains by applying a compound resin that is shaped to match the natural appearance of your other teeth and then hardened by your dentist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inlays and Onlays <\/strong>\u2013 This group of restorations are used in situations that don\u2019t warrant a crown replacement but require more repair than just a filling. The inlay addresses the internal part of your tooth while the onlay covers the same area and the cusps (the rough chewing surface).<\/li>\n<li><strong>ClearCorrect <\/strong>\u2013 An alternative to traditional braces, the ClearCorrect system straightens your teeth using clear plastic trays, allowing you to improve your smile with dignity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teeth Whitening <\/strong>\u2013 Using either the Glo Whitening in-office process or whitening trays that you can take home, you can expect to see the color of your teeth enhanced between 6 to 10 shades, yielding a dramatic change in your appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why is Cosmetic Dentistry Important?<\/h2>\n<p>One important point not to be overlooked, is that many of the above processes will impact function as well. For example, when your teeth are properly aligned, it improves your ability to speak clearly and chew your food thoroughly. Also, reinforcing or repairing a chipped tooth protects it from more wear in that area.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, cosmetic dentistry provides a major boost to your confidence, which has a direct impact on how you interact with other people and perform in your professional life. It can also play a key role in determining your success because studies show that 73% of people are more likely to trust a person with a nice smile than someone who doesn\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n<p>So to ensure that you exude confidence and make a positive impact on everyone you meet this year, feel free to reach out to your dentist of State College to schedule an initial visit to take advantage of the opportunities available to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After receiving his undergraduate degrees in biology and chemistry, Dr. Donald Marks went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
