Here at Boisson Family Dentist, Grande Prairie, we recognize the power of smiles. Certainly, a great deal of dentistry is not just about oral hygiene and health but also about getting the most out of your smile. But don’t worry, it’s not all about vanity! Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about getting the perfect smile. Many cosmetic procedures are essential. 

For instance, correcting bite misalignments with Invisalign is a life-improving procedure with fantastic cosmetic results. And for procedures like root canal treatments, where a dental crown seals the deal, cosmetic dentistry is essential for preventing serious future dental issues from developing. 

At the end of the day, confidence is at the heart of cosmetic dentistry. Nothing takes the edge off a stressful day like sharing a warm, genuine smile and having a boisterous laugh.

Boisson Dental Group works with patients of all ages to leverage the power of cosmetic dentistry, creating beautiful healthy smiles. Here are some of our favourite ways that cosmetic dentistry helps.

Prevent Serious Dental Issues With Cosmetic Dentistry

Many cosmetic dental fixes mark the final portion of an essential procedure. For instance, cementing a crown often marks the end of a root canal treatment. In this case, the crown is serving as the new tooth and will last for up to 30 years with proper care, helping to prevent future dental issues. With proper oral hygiene practices, cosmetic dentistry goes a long way in keeping your teeth looking and feeling their best.

Cosmetic Dentistry Boosts Dental Performance

Yes, teeth are definitely for smiling with. But even better, they’re used for chewing and processing food. We often take this essential function for granted until our teeth begin to create painful issues associated with eating.

Bite misalignment and crooked teeth can make chewing more labour intensive than it should be. Over time, even the smallest discrepancies can amount to a lot of strain on the jaw. Home care becomes more time-consuming. They also increase the likelihood of experiencing cracks and cavities, which are considered dental emergencies that can seriously impact your overall dental health. 

Properly aligned teeth and a correct bite allow you to chew your food thoroughly. This doesn’t just allow you to enjoy your food, but it also ensures you are processing food properly for optimal digestive health. 

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Reduce Signs of Aging

It is easy to overlook how important teeth are in establishing the shape of our faces. But tooth crowding and a misaligned bite can cause issues inside and outside your oral cavity. Many cosmetic dental procedures will visibly improve the appearance of your facial features, like your jawline and cheekbones. 

An inevitable result of aging is the natural discolouration and slow erosion of dental enamel. Brightening the enamel with veneers a whitening treatment eliminates these imperfections, producing a youthful aesthetic. Graceful aging can be beautifully enhanced with cosmetic dentistry. 

Improve Self-Confidence with Cosmetic Dentistry

Just as a cosmetically corrected bite can help you confidently chew and enjoy your food, it can also bring an overall boost in confidence. Dental imperfections affecting the appearance of your gums and teeth can make you feel less than satisfied with your smile. And when you don’t feel confident about your smile, you’re less likely to use it.  

Unfortunately, many folks will avoid smiling when they feel self-conscious about their teeth and gums. Over time, this can have a disastrous effect on overall self-esteem. Actively suppressing a smile is the same as suppressing the involuntary expression of good feelings. You don’t want to get stuck in this feedback loop. 

A cosmetic dental plan tailored to your needs addresses this issue. Your dentist will listen to your concerns and aim to treat them. From a simple whitening in a natural shade to a full mouth reconstruction, cosmetic dentistry has all the tools to give you a smile you will love.
