What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
There are several reasons why you may be self-conscious about how your smile looks, including congenital conditions or issues caused by trauma, injury, and lifestyle. Cosmetic dentistry at Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC offers multiple procedures that could reshape, straighten, and whiten your teeth to create a more attractive smile. Some standard procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding and contouring, and restorations (crowns and bridges). During your consultation at our practice in Saginaw, MI, we will help you decide on a personalized treatment plan to reveal a confident smile.
What Should I Expect with Cosmetic Dentistry?
At the start of your consultation, we will assess the state of your teeth and gums to determine if your mouth is strong enough for cosmetic treatments. After this, a unique treatment plan will be created that addresses your goals. As soon as your plan is developed, we will explain the next steps and schedule your cosmetic treatments. Some services, such as whitening and dental bonding, can be completed in just one appointment. Other treatments, such as restorations, veneers, or teeth straightening, will take multiple visits.
