Your smile is one of the first things that someone notices when they meet you, so it\u2019s important that you feel great about it. Whether you\u2019re twenty or eighty, you deserve the smile you\u2019ve always wanted, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zumbrofamilydental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist<\/a> in Rochester can share all of the options that are still available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You Too Old for Cosmetic Dentistry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are tired of hiding your smile because of gaps, broken teeth, or stains and you\u2019re wondering if you\u2019ve missed your window of opportunity \u2013 you\u2019re in luck! As long as your current oral health is in good condition and your condition is treatable by cosmetic dentistry, you\u2019re never too old to enhance your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Your Options?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As people age, dental issues like tooth decay, loss, or damage tend to become more of a struggle. Thanks to the advancements in the world of cosmetic dentistry, people of all ages can benefit from it. Depending on how you want to enhance your smile, your Rochester cosmetic dentist has a list of different options that could work for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All Ceramic Restorations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For people with broken or missing teeth, all-ceramic dental restorations are a great way to correct flaws that simple cavity fillings can\u2019t fix. Maybe you need dental implants to replace missing teeth, crowns or bridges to sit on top of damaged teeth, or even dentures to restore your entire smile. Regardless of your unique need, you can now receive more life-like and durable restorations possible with all-ceramic materials that mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most common choices when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. Who doesn\u2019t want a brighter smile? Your Rochester dentist uses a state-of-the-art whitening technique to lighten your teeth by several shades, and they can do it in their office in under an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Colored Fillings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the last cavity you had filled was decades ago, there\u2019s a good chance it was done with a metal alloy called amalgam. Thanks to evolutions in cosmetic dentistry, your dentist can now use a tooth-colored composite resin material to fill in cavities. In fact, you can even have your old \u201csilver\u201d fillings replaced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers are an extremely popular treatment, even amongst celebrities. Hard shells are crafted to match the color of the surrounding teeth and then bonded to the top of the natural teeth, helping to mask stains that can\u2019t be fixed by whitening, cracks, breaks, or gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ClearCorrect\u2122 Clear Braces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If misaligned teeth keep you from feeling confident about your smile, ClearCorrect\u2122 Clear Braces are a great option for you. As an adult, the last thing you want is to deal with brackets and wires (possibly for the second time in your life). ClearCorrect\u2122 Clear Braces work as a set of practically invisible trays that your dentist will utilize to help straighten your teeth so that you can have the benefit of a straighter smile without the sacrifice of wearing braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nicholas Brong has the exciting opportunity to treat patients of all ages at Zumbro Family Dental in Rochester.
