Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. Our goal at Oriani Cosmetic Dental is to work with you to create a beautiful, natural-looking smile that enhances your confidence and makes great first impressions.
It Starts with a Healthy Smile
The ideal candidate for cosmetic dentistry is someone whose smile is healthy and disease-free. You are not excluded from cosmetic dental treatments if you have gum disease and cavities; however, Dr. Oriani recommends addressing these issues first.
You should also inform Dr. O if you have a teeth-grinding habit or bruxism. The force exerted with bruxism can damage tooth restorations like crowns and veneers, so investing in a protective custom night guard is a good idea.
A Commitment to Excellent Oral Health
You should be committed to maintaining healthy teeth and gums before investing in cosmetic dentistry. It would be a shame to transform your smile with veneers only to develop cavities months or years later that would require us to remove them. Brush at least twice a day, floss once, and visit OC Dental for routine teeth cleanings and exams.
