After years of wear and tear to your teeth, it’s not uncommon to inquire about cosmetic dental services that can boost your smile and help you look years younger. Whether it is veneers, teeth whitening, metal-free restorations, Invisalign, cosmetic bonding, or gum recontouring, each is designed to hide imperfections and give you the appearance you desire. But can the state of your oral health make a difference? A cosmetic dentist explains why a smile free of decay, disease, and infection is necessary to ensure positive and longer-lasting aesthetic results.
