Cosmetic dentistry can transform your smile and boost your confidence. From subtle enhancements to complete smile makeovers, modern cosmetic dentistry offers solutions for virtually any aesthetic concern.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening is the most popular cosmetic treatment. In-office treatments deliver dramatic results in one visit, whitening teeth 6-10 shades. Take-home professional kits offer convenience with nearly as good results. Whitening is ideal for stained or yellowed teeth but won't work on crowns or veneers.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct multiple issues at once: discoloration, chips, gaps, minor misalignment, and worn teeth. They provide dramatic, long-lasting results (10-15 years) and a natural appearance. Veneers require removing a small amount of enamel, making them a permanent commitment.
Dental Bonding
Bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close small gaps, or improve tooth shape. It's more affordable than veneers and completed in one visit. Bonding is less durable (5-7 years) and more prone to staining, making it better for minor corrections or temporary solutions.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign straightens teeth without metal braces using clear, removable aligners. Treatment takes 12-18 months for most cases. Invisalign is nearly invisible, more comfortable than braces, and allows normal eating and oral hygiene. It's effective for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and alignment issues.
Dental Crowns
Crowns cover damaged or severely discolored teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Modern crowns use tooth-colored materials (porcelain or zirconia) that look natural. Same-day crown technology allows completion in one visit. Crowns last 10-15 years with proper care.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring reshapes the gum line to correct a 'gummy smile' or uneven gums. Using lasers, dentists remove excess gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth. The procedure is quick with minimal discomfort and creates a more balanced, attractive smile.
Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover combines multiple procedures to completely transform your smile. Your dentist creates a customized plan addressing all your concerns: color, alignment, shape, and proportion. Makeovers might include whitening, veneers, crowns, and orthodontics for comprehensive results.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Consider these factors when selecting cosmetic treatments:
- Your specific aesthetic concerns and goals
- Budget and whether insurance covers any portion
- Time commitment and number of visits required
- Longevity of results and maintenance needs
- Whether changes are reversible or permanent
- Your dentist's experience with the procedure
Cosmetic dentistry offers solutions for virtually any smile concern. Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and learn which treatments can give you the confident, beautiful smile you deserve.
