Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
There are a number of dental procedures that fall under the cosmetic dentistry umbrella. Let’s explore some of the most popular aesthetic treatments provided by our dentist.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted ceramic shells that are attached to the front of one or more teeth. Veneers can conceal a variety of imperfections, including chips, cracks, dental discoloration, and misshapen teeth. This dental treatment typically requires just two office visits – one to prepare the teeth and take impressions, and another to bond the veneers in place.
Dental Crowns
Used in both restorative and cosmetic dentistry, dental crowns can be fabricated using a variety of lifelike materials. Our dentist uses high-grade medical ceramics and zirconia to craft natural-looking restorations. Crowns can conceal dental discoloration and strengthen weakened teeth. They can also be used to restore dental implants.
Dental Implants
Dental experts worldwide agree that dental implants are the most reliable, long-lasting tooth replacement option available today. Placed in the jaw to restore missing teeth roots, dental implants are crafted from medical-grade titanium. Once healed, they can support a variety of restorations, including crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental Bridges
Today’s bridges are fabricated using high-quality materials for aesthetically pleasing results. A dental bridge is used to replace consecutively missing teeth. This type of restoration consists of two dental crowns with artificial teeth, or pontics, in between them. Once bonded in place, bridges are a trusted way to complete your smile and re-establish dental function.
Teeth Whitening
Stained or yellowed teeth can make even a healthy smile unattractive. Professional teeth whitening can transform your smile and deliver dazzling results. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening kits at our practice. Many patients combine teeth whitening with other cosmetic procedures for comprehensive results.

Composite Dentistry
Tooth-colored composite resin has many uses in dentistry. In addition to filling teeth damaged by decay, it can also be used to conceal minor flaws like chips and cracks. Small or misshapen teeth can also benefit from dental bonding because the resin can increase the length or width of a tooth, making your smile look more balanced.

Good Oral Hygiene
Brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush twice a day to help prevent cavities and gum disease. You should also floss at least once daily.
Minimize Food or Drinks That Stain
To keep your smile brilliant, cut down on food and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee and red wine.
