The Art of Aesthetic Dentistry: Common Procedures for a Beautiful Smile

When you're not happy with your smile, it can affect your overall confidence. Thankfully, with the help of experienced specialty dentists, you can address your aesthetic concerns and improve the appearance of your teeth. Consider these common cosmetic dentistry procedures to secure the smile of your dreams.  

Bonding 

Dental bonding adjusts your smile’s appearance by adhering tooth-colored composite resin to badly stained, broken, or chipped teeth. Our aesthetic dentists color-match, shape, smooth, and polish your veneers for an improved smile. Bonding is a cost-effective, non-invasive, convenient procedure. 

Veneers 

Veneers, thin porcelain shells, are a popular, straightforward procedure that covers the front of teeth for a natural, bright smile. Our dentists customize your veneer’s color, shape, size, and length to reshape discolored, chipped, cracked, gapped, or misaligned teeth. Veneers are inexpensive, stain- and chip-resistant, and can last up to 15 years. 

Implants 

If you’re suffering from tooth injury, disease, or missing teeth, a versatile dental implant can provide a complete smile makeover. Our dental implants replace the tooth's root with a titanium screw, which attaches to a new, artificial tooth. With twice-a-day brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings, implants can last a lifetime. 

Dental Fillings  

Dental fillings can wear down, chip, or crack. When this happens, dental fillings will need a replacement to restore the tooth’s natural function and appearance. Our dental clinic performs direct and indirect fillings, depending on how damaged the tooth structure is and where it’s located. During your consultation, we'll help you decide which filling material is best for you and your smile. 

  • Composite Resin: Natural enamel appearance, durable, preserves tooth structure 

  • Dental Amalgam: Durable, cost-effective 

  • Glass Lonomer: Seals quickly, contains fluoride for cavity prevention 

  • Gold: Extremely durable, visible, high-quality 

  • Porcelain: Natural appearance, durable, stain- and crack-resistant 

Teeth Whitening 

Food and beverage, smoking, or thinning enamel can leave you with a stained or discolored smile over time. Our in-office teeth whitening treatments consist of highly concentrated peroxide gels for more effective, long-lasting white teeth in just 30-90 minutes.  

Before your appointment, we'll ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough to withstand treatment. We also protect your gum tissue and mouth during and after the procedure.  

Invisalign 

Invisalign braces are a wireless, bracket-free alternative that can improve your tooth alignment. They’re designed to correct open bites, crossbites, underbites, and overbites, as well as adjust overcrowded teeth. Our dentists use impressions and photographs to design clear plastic Invisalign aligner trays for a subtle, comfortable appearance.  

Crowns & Bridgework 

Crowns, or custom “caps”, cover the whole tooth to repair decayed, broken, or chipped teeth, replace large fillings, and adjust gaps in your teeth. Our durable crowns can boost your confidence by restoring your tooth’s function and natural appearance with your choice of metal, porcelain, or composite resin material.
