Cosmetic dentistry in Marana, AZ, is available for those who want to fix their smile. Come to Gladden Farms Family Dentistry where Dr. Carson Wagstaff and Dr. Chet Kener will use their expertise to whiten your smile, fix your teeth alignment, and more.
There are many specialties in the field of dentistry. The most common one is general dentistry, but cosmetic work is becoming more and more popular. Let's look at the difference between the two.
What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the most common type of dentistry available. This practice has to do with taking care of people's teeth, gums, and mouth. Our staff will check your teeth for cavities, gum disease, plaque build-up, and other problems that can affect your smile.
You should visit your general dentist at least twice a year for a thorough check-up and professional tooth cleaning.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is the practice of using dental procedures to change the appearance of your teeth. Some people opt for cosmetic dentistry because they are unhappy with their smile, but others may want to treat problems like overcrowding and crookedness. There are many different procedures available, depending on what you need help with.
When you visit our office in Marana, AZ, for cosmetic dentistry services, we can provide services such as:
- Veneers
- Contouring
- Bonding
- Whitening
When you visit us for tooth whitening, the process will only take an hour and can brighten your teeth by as much as eight shades. Dental contouring is used when you want to make minor changes to the surface of your teeth. This type of treatment is often used by people who want to close gaps between their teeth or make other aesthetic changes.
We use bonding when you need material like composite resin to fill in small gaps and fix chips or cracks on your tooth, but we're only able to do this if the damage is only on the surface.
