Cosmetic Dentistry

Your smile is one of the most important facial features that people notice. In fact, it’s often the first impression you make when meeting someone for the first time. However, some people feel self-conscious about their smile, whether it’s due to crooked, discolored, or missing teeth. Fortunately, there are various solutions available to help restore your confidence through cosmetic dentistry. Simply put, cosmetic dentistry is the art of improving the appearance of your smile. At Parleys Creek Dental, our dentist, Dr. Clinton Sorensen, is cosmetic-focused and ready to help anyone looking to enhance their smile with cosmetic dentistry in Salt Lake City, Utah.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is dental work that primarily aims to improve the aesthetics of your teeth, gums, and bite. Specifically, it encompasses a range of procedures that vary from minor tweaks to significant changes. For example, common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, dental implants, and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. Moreover, these procedures are non-invasive or minimally invasive compared to traditional dentistry.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

The benefits of cosmetic dentistry are significant and go beyond just improving your smile.

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your smile by fixing any cracks or breaks in your smile and whitening your smile. By improving the appearance of your smile, cosmetic dentistry can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem, leading to better overall mental health. 

Cosmetic dentistry can also improve your oral hygiene, bite, and speech. With improvements in your smile by fixing breaks, chips, and missing teeth, you can eat and speak normally again. 

It can help correct uneven or misaligned teeth, reducing the risk of tooth decay, inflammation, and other gum diseases.

Cosmetic dentistry can enhance your professional and social life, making you feel more confident and successful.

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

We provide a variety of cosmetic procedures to help improve your smile. Many of these procedures vary between non-invasive to slightly more invasive, depending on what you want to do to improve the appearance of your smile. Procedures we offer at our office include:

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic procedure done at home or by Dr. Clinton Sorensen. Professional teeth whitening can take less than an hour and significantly affect your smile. We also provide teeth whitening that you can take home.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves the application of a resin material to fix chipped teeth, fill gaps, or reshape teeth.

Porcelain Crowns

Dental crowns are a procedure that focuses on replacing a damaged or decayed tooth. Your damaged tooth is prepped, and a crown is placed over it, restoring function to your smile and appearance. Porcelain crowns restore your smile while looking and feeling like your natural teeth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Dental fillings involve filling up a small hole, typically a cavity, sealing the infection. Fillings will generally consist of different colors, like gold or silver, making them easy to see. However, tooth-colored fillings look and feel just like your natural teeth.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are a popular cosmetic procedure that involves placing a wafer-thin shell on the front of the tooth to improve its appearance.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are surgical procedures in which an artificial tooth root is inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth permanently.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually moves your teeth into place. It’s a great option for those who want a straighter smile without the visibility of metal braces.
