For many patients, having an attractive smile is the main motivation for visiting a dentist. Sometimes, achieving that goal entails cosmetic dental treatments to address problems that detract from the smile’s appearance. Our dentists are trained in a number of cosmetic procedures and treatments that can give you the movie star-quality smile of your dreams.
Our patients may benefit from a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry interventions, which may range from a simple tooth whitening treatment to a complex smile makeover involving veneers, dental implants and even orthodontic treatment.
Some of the cosmetic treatments offered at our office include:
Teeth whitening – Sometimes a simple enhancement of the shade of your teeth can give your smile a dramatic boost. A bleaching gel containing a peroxide can penetrate the surface of your teeth, eliminating sources of discoloration within. Teeth whitening can leave your teeth several shades whiter.
Veneers – These handy tooth-shaped shells, which may be made of porcelain or composite materials, can conceal a number of imperfections in the teeth, including chips, cracks and deep stains.
Restorations – In the case of tooth decay, restorations such as inlays, onlays or crowns can help to make a damaged tooth whole again.
Dental implants – These titanium posts act as artificial tooth roots, securing a prosthetic crown made of lifelike materials that mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. They offer the most structurally complete device for filling in an empty space in the smile.
