Who would not want a perfect smile?!  For sure, the majority of us are just not born with a beautifully perfect smile!  Isn't it reassuring to know that almost anyone can go to the dentist and get one?  You bet! With the latest Cosmetic Dentistry techniques and materials, such as those utilized daily by good and effective dentists, one can get almost perfect teeth!Many of us have gone to orthodontists to get our teeth straightened, an overbite fixed, or gaps between teeth fixed, etc.   We didn't get those straightened teeth looking brighter, whiter, and more perfectly shaped, however, to give us that confident, happy smile which can communicate volumes to those who see it!  Some cosmetic dentistry techniques such as capping teeth, can actually give teeth the appearance of being straight.   Face it, we just don't want our teeth to be chipped, stained, or having other noticeable shaping flaws!  We also want to look as young as possible!  And now there are the cosmetic materials and procedures available to help you realize the optimal health and appearance of your teeth.  Consumer demand has led the way – and here you are, in the right spot to find out that smile makeover can be yours!

Chipped teeth can be fixed by cosmetic bonding, a safe and effective technique, with new materials that will blend with your tooth.  Bonding of the front teeth is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry practices today, as is teeth whitening. Another common practice today that is very popular is getting tooth fillings that can match your tooth.  No one wants to look like the original "metal mouth" of the past – and no one has to!  The plastic material these tooth color fillings are made from can also be used for chipped or cracked teeth.  No one will ever know you had a cracked or chipped tooth – it will look as good as new!

Re-contouring is the dental practice of reshaping a tooth that might be too short or too long in comparison to those around it – making your smile more to your liking!  Porcelain veneers can be used for a cosmetic appearance; tooth-colored porcelain has become very common, with multiple good color matches to suit each unique client.  Porcelain is also a common choice for crowns, as the porcelain color can be matched to your other teeth so well.  All these cosmetic dental practices can be performed with the latest high-tech equipment, materials and techniques that the experienced Grand Rapids Cosmetic Dentists use every day

The look you desire doesn't have to be showy – it can be subtle, or any degree in-between – it just has to suit you!  Even a subtle change can enhance the way you look and feel.  Our professional team at Dental Associates of West Michigan would be pleased to be of help to you in answering any questions you may have regarding our safe, gentle, and cost-effective cosmetic dentistry – and providing you with that happy and confident smile you desire!
