St. Augustine, FL
The first impression you make on someone can be so important, both in your personal life and your professional career. Smiling with confidence during that initial meeting can make others perceive you as more likable, approachable, confident and trustworthy. However, multiple studies and surveys have found that many people are unhappy with the way their smile looks and, as a result, hesitate to show it. Cosmetic dentistry can create a dazzling, great-looking smile worthy of the red carpet in Hollywood. Today on the blog, your St. Augustine cosmetic dentist explores how cosmetic dentistry can help you make a better first impression.
Brighten your smile
Whitening your smile by just a few shades can make a dramatic difference in your appearance, your self-image and the first impression that you make on others. For the best results and to ensure your oral health is not compromised, we recommend a professional dental whitening treatment in St. Augustine. At Palencia Dental, our whitening treatments are overseen by Dr. Kinsey, which means you have far less chance of experiencing heightened sensitivity, which often occurs when using store-bought whitening products or kits. We offer the Zoom! Whitening Procedure to produce fabulous results in only an hour.
Concealing an aesthetic flaw
Do you have teeth that are chipped, cracked or fractured? Are you dealing with slight crookedness? Do you have a visible gap between teeth? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then veneers might be the best choice for you. Our veneers are made of dental porcelain, a beautiful and durable material that is resistant to stains and has a similar translucency to natural tooth enamel, which means that your teeth with veneers will look real and genuine. Veneers can be used to correct the appearance of crooked teeth. To actually straighten your teeth, consider our program of orthodontics; Dr. Kinsey is a certified Invisalign provider.
Restore your smile
More than 178 million Americans have lost at least one permanent tooth. Are you one of them? If so, you know about the effects that hole in your smile can have on your self-esteem. Living with a missing tooth also compromises your chewing ability and can raise your risk of other oral health issues, including additional tooth loss. Palencia Dental also offers several restorative treatment options: dentures, a dental bridge and a dental implant.
Repair damaged teeth
Even if you have teeth that have sustained significant damage due to injury or decay, Dr. Kinsey can save these teeth by installing a crown. Our all-ceramic crowns replace the entire exterior of the tooth, preserving the internal structure, which includes the soft tissue, blood vessels and dental nerve. Crowns are also impervious to decay, as long as your gums conceal the margins of the restoration.
