COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving a patient's smile, teeth, gum, and overall mouth appearance. Below is a list of common reasons for cosmetic dentistry that we see at Southdale Dental Associates:

​

• Tooth decay

• Damage (cracks, chips, etc.) 

• Crooked teeth

• Misshapen teeth

• Discoloration

• Missing teeth

• Concerns with one's smile

• Desired to increase one's self-confidence

​

Some of the issues above may result in difficulty eating. According to the American Dental Association, one third of the U.S. population is reluctant to smile due to the condition of their teeth. Some people even limit their social activities due to their smile. 

​

There are many different care options available to help improve your smile. Some changes may require minor adjustment and others may involve a more extensive treatment plan. Talk to your dentist at Southdale Dental Associates to see which care option is best for you. A healthy smile can boost your confidence and improve quality of life.
