What does your smile say about you? Does it say that you're confident and open to the world, or does it say that you're insecure and unsure about your appearance? If you've been holding yourself back from expressing yourself fully in social and professional settings because of smile imperfections, talk to your San Leandro, CA dentist Dr. Stephen Moy at Moy Dental about your cosmetic dentistry options.

Common Smile Imperfections
In an ideal world, everyone would have a straight, white, perfectly aligned set of teeth. But the reality is that many patients have dental imperfections from injury, years of wear and tear, genetics, or even taking certain medications. Here are some of the most common smile problems that patients visit the dentist for:

- Gaps between the teeth (sometimes due to enamel erosion, sometimes due to teeth that are too small).
- Tooth crowding (teeth overlapping).
- Tooth discoloration (yellowing) and staining.
- Chipped, cracked, or rough teeth.
- Teeth that protrude forward.
- Bite problems that affect the appearance of the jawline and face.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
No matter what kind of dental imperfection you may have, there's a solution available at Moy Dental in San Leandro, CA. These are some of the most popular treatments you'll discuss:

- Dental implantation to replace missing teeth.
- Dental realignment with orthodontic devices (metal or “invisible” braces).
- Veneers and crown restorations.
- Tooth-colored fillings.
- Professional teeth whitening
- Removable dentures and bridges.

Benefits of an Improved Smile
There are significant social and personal benefits to improving your smile. People who smile and laugh more feel better about themselves and their overall appearance. An Invisalign survey found that improving your smile can even have a positive effect on how successful you are in life. If you haven't been happy with your teeth for a long time, now is the time to see your dentist  to  renew hope in your smile.
