Improve Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry

While cosmetic dentistry is focused on the appearance of your teeth, it can also improve the function of your mouth. Cosmetic dentistry can address numerous issues such as:

• Broken teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Stained teeth
• Misaligned teeth

We offer a variety of techniques to improve your smile, including:

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an affordable and easy way to repair teeth. During this dental procedure, a plastic resin material is applied to the teeth. The resin is matched to the shade of your teeth, and the material bonds with the tooth. Once in place, the resin can improve the appearance of teeth. The resin material can also be used to fill gaps between teeth, repair chips, and even cover stains. In most cases, dental bonding treatment can be completed in a single dental visit.

Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure because it can greatly improve the appearance of a smile.

At-home and in-office teeth whitening treatments are both available, and a professional dentist can recommend one over the other based on a patient’s specific needs.

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.

Veneers can correct teeth that are discolored, worn down, chipped, misaligned, uneven, or irregularly spaced. They are made in a lab from an impression or mold of your teeth. Your natural teeth are shaped to accommodate the shell.

Crowns

A dental crown is a full covering that encases the entire visible portion of a tooth. It’s made in a dental lab from durable materials that will match the natural color of the surrounding teeth.

Dental crowns are used to:

• Restore broken teeth
• Cover teeth that are misshapen or severely discolored
• Protect weak teeth from breaking
• Secure a bridge in place

Bridge

A dental bridge is a custom dental restoration made up of one or more replacement teeth. The bridge spans the gap between teeth, filling the empty space to prevent movement of your surrounding teeth.

Dental bridges can be crafted from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Typically, your dental bridge will be crafted from porcelain for a natural, life-like appearance to match your smile.

Implants

A dental implant is a small post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone. This post mimics the root of a tooth and is topped with a dental crown. The implant post bonds to the bone in the jaw, providing a stable anchor for the restoration.

Dental implants can be used to support dental bridges, partial dentures, and full dentures.
