Our Provo Cosmetic Dentists Can Give You a Perfect Smile
Why is Cosmetic Dentistry Important?
A smile is worth a thousand words. According to the Cosmetic Dentistry Guide, a recent survey revealed that more than 45% of people make judgments about others based on the look of their smile.
Unlike other physical features, a smile is an integral part of your personality.
Several factors can contribute to a less than dazzling smile. Teeth that are chipped, cracked or discolored can affect not only the look of a smile, but job opportunities, social perception, and most importantly, your confidence. The same can be said for teeth that are misaligned, have gaps, or show excess gum tissue.
At Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Provo, Utah, we care about helping you design and achieve the smile that best expresses who you are. That’s why we offer a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry services. Each of our cosmetic dental procedures focuses on addressing imperfections and improving a particular aspect of your smile.
What’s New in the World of Cosmetic Dentistry?
Dr. Chris Hammond from the Orem, Utah, area was interviewed by Randy Alvarez on The Wellness Hour. In the video segment below, they discuss what is new in aesthetic dentistry, the type of people receiving cosmetic dental procedures, and the benefits patients receive from receiving cosmetic dentistry under the care of expert cosmetic dentists.
According to several studies reviewed in the Social Behavior and Personality journal, a smile increases attractiveness, and women are more likely to be approached by men if they are smiling (2008, Vol. 36, Issue 9).
Using Instant Orthodontics and the latest techniques in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, we can craft and achieve a smile that you can be proud of. With our 5-star service, we offer you a high-quality cosmetic dental experience in total comfort.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services We Offer Include:
Porcelain Veneers – As one of the elite group of dentists that use the special technique of Smile Design, we can use porcelain veneers to restore your teeth to their natural strength, size, and beauty. Customized porcelain shells are attached to the front of your teeth to shield and protect cracked, chipped, broken, or discolored teeth. With porcelain veneers, you can enjoy a confident, enhanced smile.

A tooth crown is an excellent solution for patients who have a chipped tooth. Custom-designed, tooth-like porcelain crowns fit snugly over your existing teeth, providing a natural-looking smile and aesthetically pleasing results.

Without needing to hassle with removable dentures, dental implants can give you a natural-looking smile that will last a lifetime.
Learn More About Dental ImplantsBonding – Using a white resin matched to the color of your teeth, bonding can be used to fill dental cavities, close small gaps, repair slightly damaged or chipped teeth, or even reshape a broken tooth. This resin is applied to your tooth and artistically shaped for the desired purpose, and then it is hardened and polished to blend in with the natural look of your teeth.
Onlays – For cavities or areas of decay, onlays are an alternate solution to fillings. After being designed in a laboratory, we fit and adhere the onlay to your tooth to provide strength and protection, keeping your original tooth color while maintaining as much natural tooth structure as possible.
White Fillings – To enhance the aesthetic quality of your teeth while keeping them healthy, we offer white fillings as an alternative to silver or mercury fillings. You no longer need to worry about reducing the beauty of your natural teeth when filling a dental cavity.
Teeth Whitening – Using our highly effective GLO! teeth whitening system, we can whiten your teeth up to 8 shades lighter in just one visit. We will help you determine if GLO! is for you based on your unique smile needs. Using a light-activated gel or chemically-activated gel, we offer a teeth whitening experience that is safe and time efficient. You can walk out after one dental visit with a noticeably whiter, brighter smile.
