Cosmetic Dentist in Redding

Dr. Wright offers cosmetic dentistry services that are designed to improve the appearance of your smile through the use of a variety of advanced dental procedures. It's very common for patients to achieve more than one procedure in order to achieve the smile they desire. Quality cosmetic dentistry takes time, skill and meticulous attention to detail. Cosmetic dentistry falls within the domain of prosthodontics. When performed correctly Dental Veneers can beautify your smile.

Smile and Make Positive Lasting First Impressions

The importance of a dazzling smile has reached its peak in our society today. From job interviews to relationships and dating, having an attractive, comforting smile is so important; a person habitually tends to focus on your teeth rather than your eyes during conversation. An appealing smile gives you the ability to make lasting first impressions, which comes with many benefits. When you smile, the facial muscle tension disappears making you more attractive and keeping you looking younger longer.

An attractive smile can also give you the confidence you need to succeed in your interpersonal relationships and career endeavours. Good cosmetic dentistry will give you a smile that when you look in the mirror, you will be delighted with what you see. Quality cosmetic dentistry improves the quality of life. A kiss from a loved one will say it all!

Operative & Restorative Dentistry

Operative Dentistry refers to the various surgical procedures involved in tooth preparation. Restorative Dentistry refers to the various technical and prosthetic procedures involved in the restoration of damaged teeth. Both operative and restorative dentistry fall within the specialty of prosthodontics.

Art & Digital Dental Technology

A significant amount of a prosthodontist’s training is spent learning dental technology. This involves physically making the crowns, veneers, bridges, implant restorations, TMD splints, complete and partial dentures for his or her patient. In the last ten years there have been major advances in the development of digital technology in prosthodontics. More than ever this calls for a greater understanding and hands-on skill in dental prosthetics, which is the domain of the prosthodontist, known as the bio-engineer of the dental profession.

A major benefit for the patient is that the prosthodontist can fabricate and repair many provisional, interim and permanent restorations and prostheses in the practice rather that having to send it back to the dental laboratory and a rescheduled appointment. Great skill is required to achieve an aesthetic, durable and functional result.

This skill is particularly important when delivering immediate dentures, teeth-in-a-day implant prostheses or dealing with acute dental trauma cases.

Cosmetic Dental Options to Enhance your Smile

There is a range of operative and restorative procedures used to enhance the appearance of your teeth most notably dental veneers, ceramic crowns and onlays, bridgework or dentures. Minor orthodontic treatment or periodontal plastic surgery can often improve the outcome. Problems occur when inadequate planning goes into a case with respect to masticatory function and clarity of speech. The prosthodontist acts as the team leader in multidisciplinary dental treatment.

Dr. Wright likes to fabricate a set of nice provisional restorations for the patient to wear for a while to allow both doctor and patient to check chewing, speech and aesthetics. Sometimes a patient may like the restorations but a spouse, friend or relative may not. This useful feedback allows for corrections before fabrication of the definitive restorations. The greater the change, the greater the requirement for adaptation. There is a limit however to tolerance.

Weddings & Cosmetic Dentistry in Redding

Weddings are a frequent reason for having your teeth prepared for veneers or crowns, or for new dentures. This often extends beyond the bride and groom to include the parents and members of the wedding party. Everyone wants to have attractive white teeth for the wedding photographs. Plan early as this is a very busy time during the six-month lead up to the happy event.
