What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

When most people think of cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening is more than likely the first thing that comes to mind. It is relatively an easy and fast fix; however, cosmetic dentistry ranges from whitening, veneers and crowns, orthodontics, fixing chipped teeth and periodontal surgery.

Posted below is a patient of ours. Originally, the patient had come in expecting extractions and upper and lower dentures, because she thought that was the only way to truly achieve a beautiful smile. Dr. Corwin discussed the functionality of upper and lower dentures and that they would just not be as efficient as her own teeth.  In the end, the doctor and patient had decided the best line of treatment. Our patient received upper and lower partials to replace her already missing teeth, and six porcelain crowns to give her a beautiful smile she had always wanted!  At Corwin Family Dentistry we offer teeth whitening (one hour chair-side bleaching or bleach trays for you to take home and whiten on your own time), veneers, orthodontics, and many more!
