Mill Valley Aesthetic Dentist Explains Important Priorities When It Comes To Cosmetic Treatment

Written by Dr. McConnell on Mar 20, 2021

If you are ready to improve the appearance of your smile with aesthetic dentistry, our Mill Valley cosmetic dentists are here to help. Keep reading to learn more about key priorities during aesthetic care…

Correct Existing Damage

Our primary priority, when creating a treatment plan, is to deal with any infected or damaged tissues first and foremost. If we fail to correct these issues in a timely manner, we’re basically leaving your smile susceptible to damage in the years to come. The good news for cosmetic dentistry patients is that many of the treatments that we use to fix damage also deliver immediate aesthetic results.

Refine Proportions

Achieving a smile transformation requires more than simply improving the look of individual teeth. Our dental team ensures that all of the component parts of your smile look attractive and balanced. Your gum tissue, for example, should have even edges that frame your teeth. Disproportionately small or large teeth can be shaped with composite resin or porcelain restorations, in order to improve the overall visual effect. 

Youth Boost  

Research has shown that we associate white and bright teeth with youth and health. This makes sense—our teeth tend to accumulate stains as we age. To take years off of the appearance of your smile, you can whiten your natural enamel with topical treatments. You could also cover problematic enamel with a restorative material like composite resin or porcelain.

By focusing on these aesthetic objectives, we can give you a fresh, younger-looking smile that you really love. Give our Mill Valley aesthetic dentists a call to learn more and to schedule a personal consultation!
