Bridges

Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, providing functional and aesthetic benefits by restoring proper bite alignment and improving the appearance of the smile. As a less-invasive dental restoration, bridges are a great option for patients missing teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the color of natural teeth. It involves the use of bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration caused by factors such as aging, tobacco use, and certain foods or beverages. Teeth whitening can significantly enhance the appearance of a smile, boosting self-confidence and creating a more youthful and vibrant look. We offer powerful in-house whitening options from Zoom and Opalescence, and Opalescence take-home treatment.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of teeth by altering their shape, size, color, or alignment. Porcelain veneers can provide a dramatic transformation, creating a flawless smile by addressing issues such as chips, gaps, stains, or misalignment.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are dental restorations that fully encase a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. Made of durable porcelain material, crowns offer natural-looking results and can be customized to match the color and shape of surrounding teeth. They are often recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or after root canal treatment.

Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to repair minor tooth imperfections, such as chips, cracks, or discoloration. The resin is carefully shaped and bonded to the tooth, resulting in an improved appearance and enhanced strength. Dental bonding offers a relatively quick and cost-effective solution for minor cosmetic issues.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays, also known as indirect fillings, are restorative dental treatments used to repair moderate tooth decay or damage. They are custom-made restorations created in a dental laboratory and then bonded to the affected tooth. Inlays and onlays provide a conservative approach, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible while restoring the tooth's functionality and strength.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction, also referred to as full mouth rehabilitation, is a comprehensive treatment plan that involves restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of the entire mouth. It is typically recommended for patients with extensive dental problems, such as multiple missing teeth, severe tooth decay, bite issues, or jaw disorders. Full mouth reconstruction may combine various restorative and cosmetic procedures, including dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, orthodontics, and periodontal treatments, to achieve optimal oral health and a complete smile makeover.

Common Cosmetic Dentistry Questions

  • Are cosmetic dental procedures only for aesthetic purposes?

    While cosmetic dentistry primarily focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, many procedures also offer functional benefits. For example, dental crowns can restore the strength and functionality of a damaged tooth, while orthodontic treatments can improve bite alignment and overall dental health.

  • How long does a cosmetic dental procedure take?

    The duration of a cosmetic dental procedure depends on the specific treatment being performed. Simple procedures like teeth whitening can often be completed in a single visit, while more extensive treatments like orthodontic procedures or full smile makeovers may take several months or longer.

  • Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?

    Most cosmetic dental procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that patients do not experience pain during the treatment. However, some procedures may cause mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  • Are cosmetic dental procedures covered by insurance?

    Cosmetic dental procedures are typically elective and primarily aimed at improving aesthetics rather than addressing medical concerns. As a result, they may not be covered by insurance. However, certain procedures that offer functional benefits may be partially covered if deemed necessary by a dental professional.

  • How long do the results of cosmetic dental procedures last?

    The longevity of cosmetic dental results depends on various factors, including the specific procedure, oral hygiene practices, and lifestyle habits. For example, teeth whitening results may last for several months to a few years, while porcelain veneers and dental implants can last for many years with proper care.
