Today, many people turn to cosmetic dentistry, sometimes called ‘aesthetic dentistry’, as a way to improve their appearance.
They do this just as they might use cosmetic surgery, new clothes, or even a new hairstyle to enhance their look.
What is cosmetic dentistry? Cosmetic dentistry is professional dental care focused on improving the aesthetics of your mouth, teeth, and smile.
And while cosmetic dentistry procedures are typically elective, rather than necessary, some cosmetic dental treatments also provide restorative benefits.
At Thornton Dental, we offer a complete menu of cosmetic dental procedures, the most popular of which we introduce in this guide to cosmetic dentistry.
Below are just some of the tremendous cosmetic treatments we offer:
Tooth whitening is non-invasive, requiring no drilling or removal of the tooth surface. At Thornton Dental you can choose the Zoom teeth whitening or regular teeth whitening. Zoom teeth whitening takes less than an hour with resulting shade eight times brighter.
Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting the position of teeth and alignment of jaws. At Thornton Dental we offer two approaches to treatment, fixed braces and removable braces.
Fixed braces or conventional braces are composed of bands and brackets, which are glued to teeth using a special adhesive to hold wires in place.
The wires apply pressure on your teeth while moving them into position gradually and slowly throughout the treatment.
Advantages of fixed braces:
Removable braces can be taken in and out of the mouth. They are usually made of delicate wires with springs attached.
Like fixed braces, removable braces move teeth using gentle pressure. These types of dental braces are used for minor orthodontic cases or with fixed braces as additional or combined treatment.
Advantages of removable braces:

They are like caps that cover the tooth and protect against further damage while also improving your smile.
Together with a dental crown, they provide an effective solution to tooth loss and unsightly gaps in your smile.
Dentures can be fixed or removed and can be used to replace multiple or missing teeth on the upper or lower jaw.
Because tooth coloured fillings are composed of a resin material that matches your tooth, they are a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to gold or silver amalgam fillings.
As you can see, cosmetic dentistry at Thornton Dental offers many procedures to enhance your smile.
Some of these treatments can also improve your health and bite! If you think you need or want, cosmetic dental procedures, give us a call!
