Cosmetic Dentistry
Achieve the Smile You’ve Always Wanted
Having a picture-perfect smile isn’t reserved for only the rich and famous. With strides in cosmetic dental technology, creating your perfect smile is now more accessible and affordable than ever. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the aesthetics of your smile and includes treatments and procedures to whiten and strengthen your teeth to suit your smile goals. If you’re a Michigan patient in the Norton Shores, Ferrysburg, Spring Lake, and surrounding areas who’s unsatisfied with your smile, our cosmetic dentist Dr. Leitner will create a personalized plan to bring out your pearly whites.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
The focus of cosmetic dentistry is on the appearance of the smile and improving the aesthetics of your teeth. Dr. Leitner offers a variety of cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile so you can rest assured we’ll find the perfect treatment that allows you to laugh and smile confidently again.
While most people are good candidates for a cosmetic dental procedure, if your consultation reveals any underlying oral health issues, we may recommend a restorative or general dental procedure first. This way we can ensure not only a healthy smile but a beautiful one as well.
Our Cosmetic Procedures
Professional take-home tooth whitening removes tough stains, getting your teeth several shades whiter.
Our whitening treatments are safe and effective, so they won’t harm your smile the way over-the-counter products can.
Dr. Leitner has a Special 150-Dollar Lifetime Whitening Offer for our patients in Grand Haven. That means you get customized whitening trays and additional whitening gel as long as you continue to visit our Grand Haven office for regular dental care.
Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain that Dr. Leitner adheres to the front surfaces of your teeth. They’re a great way to eliminate the following imperfections in your smile:
- Crooked or uneven teeth
- Small or poorly shaped teeth
- Chips, cracks, or gaps
- Severely stained teeth
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic option because they make your teeth appear straighter, whiteer, and even help you achieve the perfect smile for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make my teeth appear whiter?
Dr. Leitner offers professional take-home teeth whitening that’s strong enough to brighten your smile with a single kit. It’s an incredibly safe and effective method used in cosmetic dentistry, eliminating years of stains and discoloration. We can also use custom-made, porcelain veneers to restore the appearance of your teeth.
What can be done about my chipped teeth?
If you have chipped teeth, Dr. Leitner can restore the beauty and function of your smile with several cosmetic treatments, like porcelain veneers and dental crowns. Both of these cosmetic solutions are a fast, natural-looking way to cover a number of dental imperfections. At your initial consultation, Dr. Leitner will assess the damage and help determine which cosmetic treatment is best for you.
What causes teeth to stain?
Common factors include aging, drinking, smoking, and even genetics. What we eat and drink can also play an important role in the discoloration of our teeth. Red wine, tea, coffee, soda, and certain types of dark berries can all cause your teeth to dull over time. This can negatively affect your confidence, which can impact how you enjoy yourself in social situations.
