We all deserve a smile. We love that our smile is usually the first thing people notice about us. And if you’re not confident about your smile, it can affect everything from how you interact with people and even hiding your smile in photos. Dr. Richard Weigand understands all of this, and he’s here to help you with cosmetic dentistry you can count on.
What does cosmetic dentistry include? Imagine any flaw in your smile, and it can probably be fixed with cosmetic procedures. And that can be your entire mouth. A smile makeover is full mouth rehabilitation, to fix every issue you have going on with your teeth and gums.
There are many people still walking around with old mercury fillings from the late 1900s. First, they probably need to be replaced for functionality. But also, today’s composite fillings are the same color as your teeth. So, you just look like you have a perfect smile. Just as important, they’re mercury-free.
Porcelain veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth, very thin shells. They can completely change your smile’s appearance, and they last a long time. Dr. Weigand is an expert at using veneers to cover lots of different imperfections, like:
A dental crown can be two different things: a helmet to protect a weak tooth or a cap for camouflaging teeth that aren’t perfect. Crowns completely cover a tooth. At Dr. Weigand’s, he uses porcelain crowns so, your tooth/teeth look totally natural. They can be used to make a tooth stronger after a root canal or to cover a tooth that’s been badly decayed or cracked.
If you skipped braces in high school and regret it now, we have good news for you: it’s not too late. You don’t necessarily have to have a metal mouth; you have options. Clear aligners are almost invisible. Best of all, you can remove them to eat whatever you want and take good care of your teeth. If you have a more complex malocclusion, Dr. Weigand also has options for braces.
Professional teeth whitening is the fastest way to get a bright smile. And Dr. Weigand doesn’t recommend DIY strips. Getting your teeth whitened at his office is safer, and you’ll love the results!
Cosmetic dentistry should never be a one-size-fits-all solution. At Dr. Weigand’s office, you’ll get personalized treatment and know he’s 100% focused on you during your appointments. Call (509) 485-8620 to get set up with a consultation at the office.
