3 Smart Smile Solutions

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Fort Collins

In this article from The Fort Collins Dentist, we take a look at three procedures often used in cosmetic dentistry.

  1. Dental Implants: Implants are transforming dentistry. For most patients, a dental implant is the prime solution for a missing tooth. A dental implant is a metal – usually titanium – rod implanted into the bone to replace the missing root of a tooth that has been extracted. The crown and supporting structure are securely attached to the post. When the final crown is placed, the dental implant is indistinguishable from a natural tooth in function and appearance.
  2. Porcelain Veneers: Dental veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic. We attach them to the front of your teeth to cover chips or cracks, gaps, and other imperfections. they leave you with a fantastic smile!
  3. Tooth Whitening: If you had tooth decay in the past, you may notice staining on your teeth. Professional whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades, significantly improving your smile without the need for an invasive procedure.

At The Fort Collins Dentist, we use cosmetic dentistry to improve the smiles of patients every day. People from Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor also come to our practice for complete general dentistry. Contact us today!

How Can You Improve Your Smile Quickly?

Porcelain Veneers

With porcelain veneers from The Fort Collins Dentist, you can revamp your smile without any extensive dental work.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel.

The material is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains.

Veneers are a great choice for addressing minor cosmetic issues with your smile. They can cover chips, cracks, and gaps between teeth.

They are also good in cases of enamel loss. Teeth that have reduced enamel due to highly acidic foods and drinks, or from years of too-vigorous brushing, can be successfully treated.

Standard porcelain veneers require the removal of a thin later of tooth enamel. Once in place, the outer surface does more than simply fix your aesthetics; it keeps your smile protected from further damage!

At The Fort Collins Dentist, we offer porcelain veneers and a host of other cosmetic dentistry procedures. Ask us which would be right for you! We’ve helped patients in Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor. Request an appointment today!

Have you ever wished you could attach perfectly shaped, white surfaces to the front of your teeth? Guess what? With dental veneers from The Fort Collins Dentist, you can!

You can use veneers to fix stained or chipped teeth, slightly crooked teeth, or abnormally spaced teeth. They are very strong, look completely natural, and are made to match the color and shape of your teeth.

A Facelift For Your Teeth?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade porcelain or resin. At The Fort Collins Dentist, one of their uses is to improve the appearance of a smile. They’re like a facelift for your teeth!

Are there aspects of your smile you don’t like? It might be a tooth damaged with a chip or crack; a tooth that is worn down, or stained; it may be a couple of teeth with an unsightly gap between them. Porcelain veneers can correct these issues.

Veneers are custom-fitted to the tooth or teeth being treated. After being created by a dental technician, the veneers are permanently bonded to the front of the tooth. A thin layer of enamel must be removed before bonding, so once they’re on, they’re on for good.

Although veneers are usually thought of as cosmetic, they can be used to repair damaged tooth enamel, too. Once a veneer is bonded to a tooth, it is a strong and durable surface.

Porcelain veneers from The Fort Collins Dentist really are like a facelift for your teeth! People from Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor come to our office for veneers and other cosmetic dentistry services. Call our office to find out what we can do for your smile!

What Can Veneers Do For Your Smile?

In this blog post from The Fort Collins Dentist we are taking the time to answer a common question: “What exactly are veneers, and how are they used in cosmetic dentistry?”

Dental veneers are thin shells made from medical-grade ceramic or composite resin. They are custom-made for each patient and are used to improve the appearance of teeth. Unlike a dental crown, which covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, a veneer covers just the front part of the tooth. They are usually used on teeth that have been chipped, stained, decayed, or that are slightly crooked.

Veneers are one of the most popular options available from modern cosmetic dentistry. They are so effective they’ve even been called “instant orthodontics.” Technically, of course, they are not orthodotnics – but they’re very strong, and can work wonders on any smile.

One thing to remember: a thin layer of enamel must be removed from the front of each tooth being covered with a veneer, in order for them to properly adhere. Once they’re cemented in place, they are permanent. But once they are in place, you’ll have the best-looking teeth of anyone you know.
