Do you have questions about cosmetic dentistry? We have answers!
Nov 15th, 2011
As a family dentist in Louisville, Kentucky, we strive to provide the best available information on proper dental care. This includes standard dental hygiene, good oral health practices and more advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Many of our patients have questions about the various cosmetic dentistry services we offer. At Smile & Associates, our main focus will always be on keeping your teeth healthy. We also know that ultimately a strong and beautiful smile is a great motivator to take good care of your teeth and gums on a daily basis with daily flossing, brushing, and regular dental exams.
Some of the questions we get surround concerns about the safety of cosmetic dentistry procedures such as laser whitening or cosmetic veneers. We can assure you that the American Dental Association (ADA) takes patient health and safety very seriously. For procedures like laser teeth whitening that have been approved by the ADA for some time, we can review it in light of your specific situation, but the procedure itself has been deemed safe. Our skilled dentist will make sure that there are no specific conditions and situations that make laser teeth whitening, porcelain veneers or dental implants a cause for concern in your particular case.
The best way to be sure if a cosmetic dentistry procedure is a safe and recommended solution for you is to schedule an appointment at your convenience so Dr. E. Robert Dick, Dr. Mills, or Dr. Michael Dick can talk through the procedure with you in detail, and thoroughly review your dental health history.
If you're curious about your options for achieving a brighter, more uniform smile, please don't hesitate to contact us today. We'll be happy to answer any and all of your questions.
