Mill Valley Cosmetic Dentist Compares Popular Treatment Options

Written by Dr. McConnell on Mar 26, 2024

Advancements in the world of cosmetic dentistry mean that it is now easier than ever before to improve the appearance of your smile efficiently and effectively. Our Mill Valley cosmetic dentists offer a range of aesthetic options to our patients; we are here to help you pick the perfect cosmetic treatment for your smile, in particular.

Here are some of the most popular aesthetic treatments used in our office:

Dental Bonding

This is one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available today. Dental bonding involves our dentist applying composite resin to your dental enamel, and then curing it so that it bonds to your enamel. Because composite resin is malleable, we can use this to fill in dental damage, rebuild chipped-away enamel, make teeth longer, fill in gaps between teeth, and even improve bite surfaces.

Professional Dental Whitening

As the name suggests, this treatment is all about making your smile look brighter and whiter! Our dentist applies a whitening gel to your enamel, and as it activates, it lifts stains from your dental surface. You may achieve full results after one treatment, or we may perform a number of treatments over a period of time.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that gives you an alternative to traditional metal brackets and wires. During treatment, you’ll wear a series of clear aligners—each aligner brings you close to your dream smile. Using Invisalign, you can straighten teeth, close gaps in your smile, improve your bite alignment, and give your entire smile a more proportional and balanced appearance.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are porcelain restorations that are attached to your natural dental structure. Once in place, a veneer completely covers your natural tooth; thus, you can use a veneer to achieve almost any cosmetic result!
