Does it seem like your teeth have lost their luster and bright, white color? Maybe your teeth don’t have major problems, but they’re just not the perfect luminous smile you see in magazines or on T.V.. Or maybe you do notice a few problems such as overcrowding or gaps between your teeth. If this sounds like you and your smile, then you might want to consider Porcelain Veneers at Bedford Dental Group.

Porcelain veneers can change your smile without having heavy, invasive surgery. One of our highly experienced, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentists can change your smile from dull, gray, or spaced apart to straight, white and beautiful. Years of coffee, tea, tomato sauce, nuts, and tons of other food and drinks can stain and chip your teeth throughout the years. Porcelain veneers can change this and give you a flawless smile.

Veneers work by placing a porcelain shell or laminate over your original tooth. This veneer covers your existing enamel and covers any imperfections that your tooth had. A shiny and bright new surface is now adhered to your tooth. This can be done on one tooth or all of your teeth. A beautiful, new smile is always the result.

Don’t just fantasize about a beautiful smile, make it happen with porcelain veneers at Bedford Dental in Beverly Hills. Call and make an appointment today for your consultation. Speak with one of our highly trained cosmetic dentists and find out if Porcelain Veneers are right for you.

Although the result is a straight smile, the road getting there isn’t very easy or painless.

Braces are more commonly made out of stainless steel, archwires, and brackets. Having these things in your mouth can be uncomfortable and bothersome, sometimes causing small abrasions on your cheeks and tongue. Food can get stuck in between them, plaque can build up, and you can forget about chewing gum while wearing them. Despite all of this, braces are very effective because they are in place 24 hours per day, continuously reshaping your teeth. Depending on your condition, braces are worn anywhere from 6 months to 6 years.

Invisalign offers an end to painful, traditional braces. A series of clear, removable teeth aligners are worn over your teeth. A different aligner is made for you to wear during each stage of use. You must wear your Invisalign aligner for 20-22 hours per day and only remove it when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. Because they are removable, they are not continuously reshaping your teeth. Getting straight teeth depends on the patients consistency and commitment with wearing them. Unlike traditional braces, they can also be misplaced or lost. Treatment is usually under one year, but possibly longer if required.

Both options lead to your beautiful, new smile so decide which one is right for you.
