If you could change anything about your smile, what would you change?<\/p>\n

No matter what your answer is, we can fix it at our dentist office, right here in Monroe, LA.<\/p>\n

You’ve seen the “Hollywood smiles” that actors and actresses flash for celebrity magazines and while posing for pictures at red carpet events.<\/p>\n

Those smiles can be yours, too, with help from cosmetic dentistry at Bayou Dental Group.<\/p>\n

Keep reading to learn about seven ways you can improve your smile. You might just find something to fix the thing that you want to change.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Teeth whitening<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At our office, we offer Zoom! Whitening for our patients. You can come in for one of our in-office treatments, or you use our take-home whitening trays if you prefer the do-it-yourself approach. <\/p>\n

    You can even use a combination of in-office and take-home treatments. Zoom! can make your teeth up to eight shades whiter, which is a difference you’ll really see.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dental crowns<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you have a discolored or damaged tooth, then dental crowns can change the appearance of your smile. A single tooth that has been damaged by decay can stand out for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n

      We can remove the damaged and discolored parts of your tooth and replace it with a natural-looking dental crown. And since we offer CEREC crowns, it’s possible to get your crowns in a single visit to our office.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Porcelain on-lays<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This is another option if you have a problem with a tooth. If the damage or discoloration is fairly limited, we may be able to fix it with an on-lay instead of a full dental crown.<\/p>\n

        Whenever possible, we like to keep as much of the healthy tooth as we can.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Dental bridges<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          On the other hand, you may have multiple teeth that could use improvement. You may even have one or two that need to be replaced. In those situations, a dental bridge is your best bet.<\/p>\n

          Unlike a crown, a dental bridge takes a little more time to create. This means you will need more than one visit to complete the process. In the end, you’ll see a major improvement to your smile, however.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Dental implants<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            You may not think of dental implants as a part of cosmetic dentistry, but this is one of their benefits. If you have lost a tooth or multiple teeth, we can use a dental implant as a foundation for a dental crown or dental bridge.<\/p>\n

            A dental implant may not provide a cosmetic benefit on its own, but it can make other options more secure.<\/p>\n

            If you need to replace a full arch of teeth, dental implants can help with that, too. Our All-On-4 and All-On-6 implant-supported dentures restore the appearance of a healthy set of teeth.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Tooth-colored fillings<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              If you are of a certain age, you may have fillings that were made of silver. While these served a purpose, they can also draw attention away from you and onto your mouth instead.<\/p>\n

              White fillings match the color of your teeth. This helps them blend in more naturally with your smile.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Veneers<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Veneers are one of the most versatile services available in cosmetic dentistry. They are a kind of shell that you place over your teeth. This allows them to fix a wide range of problems.<\/p>\n

                If your teeth are crooked, we can create veneers that will give you the appearance straight teeth.<\/p>\n

                If your teeth are crowded together or you have a gap in your smile, veneers can give your teeth the appearance of being evenly spaced.<\/p>\n

                If you have chipped teeth, veneers can be used to make your teeth look whole once again.<\/p>\n

                If you have yellow or discolored teeth, veneers can be used to fix that as well. <\/p>\n

                And if you have a combination of the problems mentioned above, veneers are a simple solution that can fix all of them at the same time.<\/p>\n

                Plus, our veneers are made of porcelain and zirconia, so they will like your real teeth, only better.<\/p>\n

                Feel Better About Your Smile And Yourself<\/b><\/p>\n

                We have seen how much cosmetic dentistry can make a difference in the lives of our patients. When people see their new smiles, it makes them happier and more confident in many cases.<\/p>\n

                Many of our cosmetic procedures\u00a0have restorative benefits as well. By improving the appearance of your smile, you might improve the function of your teeth at the same time.<\/p>\n
