We all intuitively know the power of a smile – a terrific smile conveys happiness and encourages positivity and sends others the signal that you are healthy and competent. But over time, cosmetic imperfections such as discoloration or chipping in your teeth can start to change the appearance of your smile. At K&E Advanced Dentistry in Franklin, OH, we are here to help keep your smile beautiful with a broad variety of cosmetic dental treatments.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry may seem like it has exploded in recent years, and for good reason – with all the advances in modern dental materials and techniques, patients have never had as many affordable options for enhancing their smile as they do now. Cosmetic dentistry is a field of dentistry that is devoted to helping patients improve the appearance of their teeth. At K&E Dentistry, our experienced cosmetic dentists know that this means more than just minimizing the appearance of imperfections in a patient’s smile—it is also important to preserve and enhance the features of a patient’s smile that they truly love. We offer several customized cosmetic dentistry solutions to treat a wide array of aesthetic issues.

Tooth whitening

White, bright teeth can do wonders for a smile. Unfortunately, it is easy for teeth to become stained over time by eating and drinking many of our favorite foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, dark sauces, and red wine. Using tobacco products and taking certain medications such as tetracycline can also cause discoloration in your teeth, and as we age, the enamel on each tooth begins to thin, revealing more of the yellowish dentin beneath the teeth.

If your teeth are looking dull or yellowed, teeth whitening may be all that is needed to take your smile to the next level. At K&E Dentistry, we offer two affordable types of teeth whitening so you can choose the one that fits your preferences:

• In-office whitening provides quick, dramatic results
• Take-home kits with customized trays and professional-grade whitening gels lighten your teeth gradually over time and can be great for maintenance treatments as well

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are a terrific solution for covering up many types of cosmetic imperfections. Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain that are custom-made to look like your natural teeth, and adhere to the front of one or more teeth to hide issues such as:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Permanent discolorations or stains
• Misshapen teeth
• Mild gaps between teeth
• Teeth that seem too big or small in relation to the rest of your teeth
• Mildly crooked teeth

We also offer dental bonding, a quick and affordable treatment that can be done in just one visit. It can hide discoloration, change the shape or size of a tooth, close the gaps between teeth, and repair cracks or chips.

Restorative dentistry

You may not think of tooth restorations as cosmetic treatments but restoring health to a diseased tooth or replacing a missing tooth can do wonders for the appearance of your smile! Even better, by replacing missing teeth, it can take years off your face by filling in hollowed areas in your cheeks that were previously created by the missing teeth. We offer several types of tooth restorations to cover a full range of dental issues, such as:

• Dental implants
• Dental bridges
• Porcelain crowns
• Tooth-colored fillings

With our beautiful, custom-made dental restorations, your smile will look natural and no one will ever know that you have had dental work done.
