There are many reasons to visit a cosmetic dentist. The world of cosmetic dentistry is diverse, full of many new materials and techniques guaranteed to enhance your smile. Cosmetic dentists keep current with all the new, innovative dental treatments, including dental technology. When you visit a cosmetic dentist, such as Dr. Paulson of Arbor Dental Associates, you can be assured you will be offered state-of-the-art treatment to change your look and your smile.
You should consider visiting a cosmetic dentist if you have teeth that are:
- Heavily stained from smoking, coffee or medication use
- Broken or damaged from trauma or injury
- Crooked or poorly aligned from genetics
- Badly shaped or uneven from age-related wear
- Gapped or spaced apart from genetics
- Cracked or chipped from overuse
Dental whitening treatments: Designed to whiten teeth up to eight shades with a convenient take-home treatment, or a speedy office treatment that takes about an hour.
Dental veneers: Usually made of porcelain and placed over front teeth; veneers are thin laminates used to correct uneven, unsightly front teeth and mask defects to create a perfect smile.
Dental bonding: Using a tooth-colored resin material called composite, bonding can close small gaps between teeth, changing the color and the shape of teeth.
Contouring and reshaping: To cosmetically straighten or improve teeth that are chipped, cracked, overlapping or badly aligned; contouring and reshaping is often performed along with dental bonding.
Cosmetic fillings: Using composite, these fillings can be matched perfectly to your existing tooth color, making them virtually invisible; they can be used to replace unsightly, bulky metal fillings.
These are just some of the procedures available in cosmetic dentistry at Arbor Dental Associates in Novi, MI. You owe it to yourself to visit a cosmetic dentist and explore what can be done to improve your smile. After a full dental examination and X-rays, cosmetic professionals at Arbor Dental Associates can discuss your overall dental health and create a treatment plan to get you on your way to a great smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry is more than just creating a beautiful smile. Dr. Paulson practices complete dentistry, balancing art and science to deliver long-term results, by addressing functional problems in addition to cosmetic concerns.
It is true that form follows function. Many of the cosmetic dental concerns that a patient has are caused by functional problems in the occlusion (bite). Dr. Paulson performs a through, comprehensive examination to evaluate the patient completely. Not just the teeth, but the bite, mouth, gums, jaw bones, and face to identify any problems. Using digital scans of the mouth and face, models, and photography, Dr. Paulson develops a functional and esthetic work-up to demonstrate the predicted results of cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Patients who come to Dr. Paulson for cosmetic dental services often know that something isn’t right with their teeth, but they aren’t sure why or what is the cause for wear and deterioration. Dr. Paulson and his caring staff give each patient individual attention and take the time to diagnose the problem, then thoroughly work through the case for the highest level of success. Schedule your cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Paulson and find out how you can have a more comfortable, more beautiful, longer-lasting healthy smile.
