Cosmetic Dentistry

A smile makeover from Summer Dental in Las Vegas uses cosmetic dentistry to make positive changes to your teeth. It combines two or more of these procedures to upgrade your smile.

The effects of a smile makeover may be subtle, or they may be quite dramatic. We can make changes to the color of your teeth, close gaps, fix chips or cracks, or re-shape gum tissue. Since it addresses aspects you dislike, you can think of it as a customized smile.

The procedures include:

• Porcelain veneers
• Bonding
• Dental implants
• Teeth whitening

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of medical-grade ceramic that are attached to the front of the teeth. They can be used to cover gaps, chips, and stains.

Bonding involves using a composite resin to repair decay, chips, or fractures. It can also be used to make teeth seem longer. The color of the resin matches that of your teeth.

Dental implants have been hailed as one of the great advances in the history of dentistry. A titanium post is inserted into the jaw, and in time fuses with the bone. An artificial tooth is fitted on top of that, and it looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants can also anchor a set of dentures.

Teeth whitening. Everyone wants whiter teeth, and teeth whitening is one of the most in-demand cosmetic dentistry procedures there is. Professional whitening surpasses any over-the-counter product you can find.

The team at Summer Dental in Las Vegas will work with you to customize a cosmetic dentistry treatment plan that will result in the smile you’ve always wanted. We also offer pediatric dentistry. Call for an appointment today!

At Summer Dental in Las Vegas, we improve smiles with cosmetic dentistry every day. From the questions that some patients ask, though, it’s clear that there are some common misconceptions about what cosmetic dentistry is all about. So we’re using this blog post to clear up a few of them.

Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

Many “cosmetic” dental procedures are not solely cosmetic.  Procedures such as tooth replacement prevent potential issues like tooth movement, bone loss, and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Teeth Whitening is as Effective as Professional Whitening

Commercially purchased whitening systems cannot compare to professional-strength teeth whitening treatments. They may remove surface stains, but do not provide the best results.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers.

Myth #5: Braces are the Only Way to Correct Crooked Teeth

Braces can transform a smile, even in adults. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, porcelain veneers can reshape your teeth and help you get a beautiful smile.

Some people’s teeth are whiter than others, but it’s safe to say that most of us want our teeth to be pearly white! If that sounds like you, then Summer Dental in Las Vegas can help you achieve that stunning smile you deserve with cosmetic dentistry.

Don’t Forget to Brush
The first tip seems like a no-brainer, but many people still overlook this practice. We are talking about daily tooth brushing. Brushing your teeth with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste is one of the best ways to keep your teeth clean and prevent tooth decay. Often our teeth become discolored or stained because of what we consume (drinks, food, etc.) but when we brush our teeth, it reduces the damage.

After brushing teeth, another tip is using a fluoride rinse to finish the cleaning job. Fluoride gets into the cracks where bacteria can be hiding away. When the bacteria is killed, it prevents it from spreading and discoloring your teeth. When you are shopping for a fluoride rinse, check the labels. Some ordinary mouthwashes don’t contain fluoride.

Sometimes the discoloration is too severe to be reversed by home remedies. We can brighten your smile with in-office teeth whitening.

At Summer Dental in Las Vegas we’ll find the best cosmetic dentistry solution to improve your smile. We also offer pediatric dentistry. Schedule an appointment with us today.

If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work at Summer Dental in Las Vegas, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to look at:

Cost
In the long run, it is less pricey to do it all at once. At Summer Dental, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment.

Time
With the latest materials and unprecedented cosmetic dental techniques, healing is faster than in the past. However, some procedures may require a healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to the dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will affect your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, multiple porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss sedation dentistry. Many dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management.

At Summer Dental in Las Vegas, cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile. Schedule a consultation with us and we’ll devleop a plan that works best for you. Schedule your next cleaning and checkup with us today.

Many Las Vegas residents have many options to stop the aging clock, or at least slow it down. Whether it is a surgical procedure, botox, hair implants, or a chemical peel, there are many ways to help you look more youthful.At Summer Dental in Las Vegas, our cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve that objective.

To cite just one possibility: porcelain veneers will produce a smile that will have people asking you if you have lost weight or started going to the gym because the effect is stunning.

At Summer Dental, our porcelain veneers will improve the color of your teeth, cover chips, cracks, or misshapen teeth. Veneers can lengthen teeth that look too short, fill in gaps between teeth and cover any irregularity your teeth may have. Porcelain veneers reflect light the same way natural teeth do, making them a great choice for a smile makeover.

If you are middle-aged (or older) and think of ways to improve your appearance, we can help you turn back the clock by creating a youthful smile. Summer Dental in Las Vegas offers affordable, professional services including general and cosmetic dentistry.
