Cosmetic dentistry procedures in Tulsa, OK!

Our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Mike Hinkle, offers three different ways you can fix your crooked teeth with cosmetic dentistry. No braces needed – although, we do offer an affordable braces option. More to come on that!

Let’s dive into the benefits of fixing your crooked teeth and your three different cosmetic dentistry options.

Why you should fix crooked teeth

Crooked teeth are not just a cosmetic issue; they are a health issue.

Crooked teeth are harder to brush and floss effectively, increasing your risk of plaque and bacteria buildup. This can lead to tooth decay and gum disease (the #1 reason for Opens new tab to view statisticadult tooth loss).

With straight teeth, you will find it is easier to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile – potentially saving you money down the road.

Speaking of saving money, fixing your crooked teeth now can keep you from dealing with the repercussions of crooked teeth later like worn, flattened, chipped, or broken teeth.

Misaligned or crooked teeth can cause bite and jaw problems like TMJ. If you experience frequent jaw, neck, or headaches, then we suggest having your smile examined to see if it’s the source of the problem.

Lastly, crooked teeth can lower your self-esteem. Crooked teeth can cause you to feel self-conscious, hiding your smile, avoiding social settings, and not living your life to its fullest.

By straightening your crooked smile with cosmetic dentistry in Tulsa, OK, you can change all of this and feel confident about yourself and your oral health.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures that fix crooked teeth

Our cosmetic dentist in Tulsa, OK, understands that crooked teeth are not ideal. He also knows most people don’t find metal braces the ideal solution either.

That’s why we are proud to offer three cosmetic dentistry procedures that can fix your crooked teeth without the use of braces.

Let’s find out what option is the best for you:

1. Lumineers®

Lumineers® are ultra-thin, tooth-colored shells that adhere to the front of your teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of your smile and hide smile flaws, such as:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Chipped teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Irregularly shaped teeth
  • Worn-down teeth

Lumineers® are similar to traditional veneers. However, there are some significant differences:

Lumineers® are half the thickness of traditional veneers. To place Lumineers®, we do not need to modify your healthy tooth structure. If you ever wanted to reverse this procedure, you could return to your original smile without significant damage.

Additionally, the material used to make Lumineers® is stronger than your natural teeth and refracts light more naturally than traditional veneers.

You can expect this conservative, non-invasive procedure to be painless with no needles necessary! At our Tulsa dentist’s office, we can complete the entire procedure in just two appointments.

Lumineers® are a sure way of not only fixing your crooked teeth but also giving you the smile of your dreams.

2. Invisalign®

Invisalign® is the clear alternative to traditional braces… Literally.

These custom-made, Opens new tab to official websiteclear aligners are used to gradually move your crooked teeth into their proper, straight position.

Teenagers and adults love Invisalign® because this orthodontic treatment does not bring you unwanted attention, unlike metal braces. You can carry on with your professional and social life without embarrassment or worry.

Another perk:

It’s removable! Invisalign® aligners are removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as you usually would.

When Invisalign® was in its early years, it was primarily best used for minor maneuvers. But nowadays, with advanced technology and training, it can be used to fix:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Open bites
  • Underbites
  • Overbites
  • Crossbites
