Today your dentist can provide you with a tooth-colored restoration that\u2019s aesthetic and blissfully mercury-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, they might even be able to complete the entire treatment process in one day with a CEREC machine! CEREC combines highly advanced design software with sophisticated in-house fabrication to bring the convenience of \u201csame day shipping\u201d to your dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic dental bonding easily requires the least amount of alterations to your teeth \u2013 that is to say, it requires none! If you have a minor chip, crack, an uneven or misshapen tooth, or deep staining, your dentist can mix together tooth-colored composite resin materials called \u201cbonding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shade will look natural next to the rest of your pearly whites, and best of all, your dentist only has to sculpt the resin over your dental blemishes to effectively cover them up. You could be in and out of their office in as little time as one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Few things beat relaxing in the comfort of your own home. With a professional take-home whitening kit provided by your dentist, you can brighten your smile by several shades without ever leaving your favorite recliner. Kick back, watch some TV, and wait for a few easy weeks as the whitening gel works its magic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have Your Cake and Eat It, too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, cosmetic dentistry makes it easy to have your cake <em>and <\/em>eat it. There\u2019s a treatment for just about everyone, even if you\u2019d rather not commit to major dental alterations or lengthy treatment times. Talk to your dentist about what you want for your smile, and they\u2019ll help you choose the best method for getting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghamdentalgroup.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Framingham Dental Group<\/a>, our dental professionals are dedicated to providing patients with the best care experience possible.
