What is Aesthetic Dentistry?

Aesthetic dentistry refers to dental treatments that focus on improving the appearance of your gums, teeth, and smile. While traditional dentistry is primarily concerned with the health and function of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Our dentist has the experience to offer a variety of cosmetic dental services, including:

  • Teeth Whitening
  • Veneers
  • SureSmile®
  • Aesthetic Restorations

Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Smile

Our dentist offers a professional, take-home teeth whitening solution using KöR® whitening as part of our cosmetic dentistry options. This custom treatment allows you to achieve a brighter, whiter smile at your convenience. During your visit, we'll take impressions of your teeth to create personalized whitening trays that fit comfortably and provide even, consistent results. The KöR Whitening gel, which is stronger and more effective than over-the-counter options, is easy to apply and designed to minimize sensitivity. With just a few applications over a period of time, you can enjoy a noticeably whiter smile that lasts.

Veneers to Enhance Your Smile

Veneers are custom-made, thin shells placed over the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are a versatile and highly effective solution for enhancing the aesthetic appearance of your smile with minimal invasiveness. Our dentist tailors your veneers treatment to you, offering a natural look that enhances your overall appearance. Our experienced dentist offers various types of veneers to fit your goals and preferences, including:

  • Porcelain Veneers: Known for their durability and natural appearance, our custom-crafted porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and provide a lifelike, long-lasting finish.
  • IPS e.max® Veneers: Made from advanced all-ceramic material, IPS e.max veneers offer exceptional strength and a natural translucent look and are an excellent choice for patients seeking both beauty and durability.

Align Your Smile with SureSmile

One of our most popular aesthetic dentistry options is SureSmile, a state-of-the-art clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth comfortably and discreetly. SureSmile is a highly effective alternative to traditional braces, using advanced 3D imaging technology to craft a treatment plan to meet your dental needs. Whether you're looking to correct minor misalignments or achieve a more even, confident smile, SureSmile offers a clear and convenient solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

With our clear aligners, you'll receive a series of clear, removable aligners that shift your teeth into their ideal position gradually. The aligners are comfortable, easy to wear, and nearly invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without the noticeable brackets and wires of traditional braces.

Our Aesthetic Restorations

As part of our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services, we offer aesthetic restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures, all designed to restore and enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Whether it's a single tooth or a full mouth restoration, each aesthetic treatment is customized to meet your unique needs, allowing your smile to look and feel completely natural. Our experienced dental team is committed to delivering long-lasting, beautiful results that enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

We understand that choosing cosmetic treatments is an investment, and you may have questions. Our dentist is ready to answer your questions and guide you throughout your treatment. Common cosmetic dentistry questions include:

Will cosmetic dentistry affect the function of my teeth?

Cosmetic dental treatments are designed not only to enhance the appearance of your smile but also to preserve or even improve the function of your teeth. For example, crowns and bridges restore both the appearance and functionality of damaged teeth, allowing you to chew and speak naturally.

The longevity of cosmetic treatments depends on the procedure and how well you care for your teeth. For example, porcelain veneers and crowns can last 10-15 years with proper maintenance, while teeth whitening results typically last 6-12 months. Our team will guide you in maintaining your results, allowing them to last as long as possible.

Maintaining your cosmetic dental work involves the same care as your natural teeth. We recommend brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and visiting our dentist regularly for checkups. Additionally, avoid grinding your teeth, which can damage restorations, and be mindful of foods and drinks that may stain teeth, especially after whitening or veneer treatments.
