Improving the appearance of your smile can make a huge difference in your life. Many people find that, once they’ve achieved their dream smiles, they feel more confident and more like themselves.
Our Orland Park cosmetic dentists know that in order to achieve attractive results that truly last, we need to make sure that any aesthetic change we make also bolsters the structure and health of your smile. With that in mind, keep reading to learn more about the factors our dentist prioritizes when crafting a cosmetic treatment plan.
As you would imagine, when a patient comes in for cosmetic care, one of the first things that we discuss is the patient’s dental goals. Whether you want to whiten your smile, correct unsightly damage, close gaps between your teeth, or straighten a crooked/crowded smile, we can help. Once we know what you want your smile to look like, we can start helping you figure out how to make that happen.
As treatment progresses, our team will assess your smile for any existing dental issues. We absolutely do not want to complete cosmetic treatment only to inadvertently cover up any oral health issues. It is imperative that we treat infections and damage before moving forward.
If your cosmetic treatment plan includes any kind of restoration, like crowns or veneers, our team will ensure that this restoration functions optimally with your natural smile. Poorly constructed or improperly placed restorations may cause bite misalignment. Unfortunately, this can start a domino effect of unwanted health issues, including TMJ problems, premature dental wear and tear, and shifting dental alignment.
When pursuing cosmetic treatment, it is imperative that you don’t settle for one-size-fits-all treatment; be picky! Our Tinley Park cosmetic dentists are happy to give you any additional information that you may need about your aesthetic treatment options.
