What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry starts with enhancing the appearance of your smile. Many patients feel uncomfortable with how their teeth look, and cosmetic dentistry can help them smile more and feel better about themselves.
Many cosmetic dental procedures, like crowns, fillings, and bridges, have restorative as well as cosmetic benefits.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Procedures Offered
Teeth Whitening
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic system that straightens teeth without brackets or wires. The system consists of a graduated series of clear aligners made with specialized plastic. The patient changes the aligners every few weeks, gradually shifting their teeth into the best position.
Clear Aligner
It’s never too late to straighten your smile! Clear aligner technology offers a comfortable and affordable orthodontic solution without the look and feel of traditional metal braces. You just switch to a new set of aligners as directed by your doctor until treatment is complete.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that the dentist bonds with your teeth. The dentist removes a thin layer of enamel, so the veneers fit snugly. Veneers can correct chipped, stained, and slightly misaligned teeth. They are stain-resistant and easy to care for.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is the process of filling or restoring teeth with a tooth-colored material in order to improve a tooth’s appearance. In order to bond a tooth, composite material is added to the tooth structure to adjust the size, shape, or color of the existing tooth.
Fillings
Composite fillings can improve the look of your teeth. These tooth-colored fillings are excellent for visible teeth in the front of the mouth.
Resin Infiltration
Resin infiltration is the newest method of correcting white spots on teeth. While standard teeth whitening only bleaches the teeth, resin infiltration also strengthens the enamel and removes white spots.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Crowns can cover broken or damaged teeth with a natural-looking porcelain cap. Our office provides same-day CEREC crowns, which means the patient leaves with their permanente crown that same day. No more temporaries when possible. The dentist can design and place these crowns in one easy appointment.
A bridge is a permanently fixed dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. Most bridges are held in place by two crowns or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges can help to restore your chewing ability and give you more confidence in your smile.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are attractive alternatives to fillings. An inlay fits inside the tooth, while an onlay extends onto the chewing surface. The dentist can design gold or tooth-colored resin inlays and onlays.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are carefully engineered replacements for natural teeth. They bond with the jawbone to provide sturdy, permanent results.
Microabrasion
This technique can minimize or eliminate stains, yellowing or spots by removing a very thin layer of the tooth’s enamel.
