Your oral health, or the state of your smile, is one of the first things people notice about you. When your teeth are discolored and chipped or if you have missing teeth, it can make you feel self-conscious and inadequate.

Issues like missing teeth can make chewing difficult and social interactions embarrassing. You may find yourself isolated from family, friends, and colleagues. In turn, isolation may lead to depression.

Let’s explore a few ways to improve your smile health and aesthetics.

You and Your Oral Health

Oral health contributes to your overall wellness and can influence your emotional well-being. For example, regular brushing and flossing, coupled with preventive teeth cleanings in my Boulder dental office, help prevent tooth loss, tooth discoloration, tooth damage, and bad breath.

Enhancing Your Smile Aesthetics

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, it can affect all aspects of your social and work life. At Diagonal Dental of Boulder, my team and I offer a wide range of cosmetic options at varying price points. I can typically find a procedure to fit most budgets.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers conceal most cosmetic flaws by covering the tooth with a beautiful porcelain shell. Custom veneers can hide gummy smiles, short teeth, discoloration, and more.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an inexpensive way to boost your confidence. Whiter teeth prompt you to smile more, which can change your outlook.

Tooth-Colored Restorations and Bondingteeth whitening boulder co

Tooth-colored restorations, such as crowns and fillings, can correct oral health issues aesthetically. Dental bonding, which uses tooth-colored resin, is an affordable way to hide cosmetic flaws.

Tooth Replacement

From dental implant restorations to dental bridges, I can close the gaps in your smile.
