Cosmetic dentistry is designed to help you have the smile you want rather than the smile Mother Nature may have handed to you. However, cosmetic dentistry is not only about the appearance of your smile. When you improve the look of your smile, chances are you\u2019re also improving your dental health, too. Dr. Jonathan Mears and Dr. Laura Mears at JL Dental in Arnold, MO, want to make sure you are aware of the aesthetic and health advantages of cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4f81bd;\">Cosmetic Dentistry and You<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever noticed that after you\u2019ve exercised you are more inspired to eat healthy? Something similar happens after you\u2019ve had any kind of cosmetic dentistry procedure. Patients become more attentive to their smiles and are more inclined to brush and floss regularly in order to take better care of their teeth and gums. Who wants to risk the damaging consequences of tooth decay or gum disease after having spent time and money on enhancing the appearance of your smile?<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4f81bd;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-QnaRRUeL11w\/V5elC4QfIYI\/AAAAAAAAAYs\/LTVi-9UCxbMUpyk2AsYcD9FoXgPzM8jTgCLcB\/s1600\/cosmetic-dentistry-jldental.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-QnaRRUeL11w\/V5elC4QfIYI\/AAAAAAAAAYs\/LTVi-9UCxbMUpyk2AsYcD9FoXgPzM8jTgCLcB\/s320\/cosmetic-dentistry-jldental.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a>Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures to Improve Your Smile<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most popular and economical cosmetic dentistry treatments performed at JL Dental is teeth whitening. We use the Opalescence take-home whitening system to give you the most dramatic results without sensitivity. <br \/>In addition to foods and beverages such as tomato sauce, berries, coffee, tea and red wine, stains and discoloration can sometimes be the result of tobacco use, both smoking and chewing. Many patients finally \u201ckick the habit\u201d after teeth whitening, which can often lead to a tremendous improvement in overall health. Moreover, the risk of oral cancer falls off dramatically once your stop using tobacco products. For more severely stained teeth, Drs. Mears may recommend porcelain veneers. <\/p>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #4f81bd;\">Straight Teeth for Better Oral Health<\/h3>\n<p>We don\u2019t need to tell you that a straight smile is more attractive than a smile with crooked teeth. However, did you know that a straight smile is also healthier? Cleaning around and between teeth that are straight and evenly spaced is easier and naturally leads to a cleaner mouth. With Invisalign from your dentist in Arnold you can enjoy the aesthetic and oral health benefits of a straight and beautiful smile. <br \/>Likewise, dental implants in Arnold, MO, are both cosmetic and restorative dentistry. The implant and attached tooth restoration give you back your complete smile, allowing you to speak, eat and laugh with confidence. <br \/>Discuss cosmetic dentistry options with JL Dental in Arnold, MO.
