Cosmetic Dentistry Services
We offer many cosmetic dental services to ensure that we can meet our patient’s unique needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear aligners to slowly straighten your beautiful smile. They’re a more subtle choice for straightening your teeth versus traditional metal braces.
You change aligners about every two weeks to shift your teeth into place. You can remove the aligners to eat or brush your teeth. This will allow you to keep your full diet and oral healthcare routine intact.
Lumineers
Lumineers are “no-prep” or “ultra-thin” veneers. They are similar to traditional porcelain veneers, but they’re thinner and require less dental preparation. They are very thin laminate material rather than porcelain.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of dental ceramic that go over the front and sides of your teeth. They’re a permanent restoration that is a strong, stain-resistant ceramic porcelain material.
Porcelain veneers are a versatile choice because they can take care of many cosmetic dental problems. You can get a smile makeover with just veneers.
Orthodontics
Invisalign isn’t the only orthodontic service we offer. There are many options to protect or straighten your teeth. Custom mouthguards, night guards, retainers, and traditional metal braces are all options on hand at both of our dental office locations.
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a non-permanent solution that can treat many cosmetic dental problems. The dental bonding material is soft before it sets. Your dentist can shape it to cover a stained tooth or to fill in a minor chip. Your dentist can also color-match it to the shade you desire.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is the go-to solution for stained teeth. Professional tooth whitening offers safer, better results than you can get with over-the-counter options. We offer both in-office and take-home options for getting a whiter smile.
FAQs
Do you have more questions about your cosmetic options? Read the answers to frequent questions many patients have about cosmetic dental treatment:
How long do professional teeth whitening results last?
Professional whitening treatment typically lasts at least six months. There are several ways that patients can maintain their whitening results.
Keeping up with a good oral hygiene routine can help remove superficial staining. Staying away from tobacco products as well as drinks like coffee, tea, and wine also keeps the teeth bright.
Which is better: dental veneers or tooth bonding?
Although dental veneers and tooth bonding are both similar cosmetic options, they provide different benefits for our patients. Porcelain ceramic dental veneers offer long-lasting treatment and can cover a large area of tooth damage. Dental bonding is a more economical alternative to veneers.
However, dental veneers are best for repairing smaller chips and cracks. Patients who are unsure about which cosmetic treatment to choose can request a consultation with our dentists.
Who are the best candidates for Invisalign treatment?
We recommend Invisalign treatment for patients who have mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Traditional options such as metal braces or even oral surgery are best for patients with severe bite problems or misalignment.
Patients who undergo Invisalign treatment should also be in good dental health. We do not recommend Invisalign for patients with severe bruxism, or teeth grinding. This condition can damage the appliance.
How long do Lumineers last?
Lumineers last up to 20 years or more with proper care. Factors such as good oral hygiene and avoiding certain foods and drinks that can damage or stain teeth can help extend their lifespan.
However, the exact lifespan of Lumineers can vary depending on individual circumstances. It is important to consult with a dental professional to determine the best care plan for your specific needs.
Is Invisalign painful?
The only time patients experience discomfort during Invisalign is typical during their clear aligner tray switch-out every two weeks. The teeth often feel sore, though this is mild and often well-tolerated by patients.
Over-the-counter pain medication alleviates this discomfort for patients bothered by this soreness.
What is the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?
While dentists and orthodontists are both dental health professionals specializing in oral health and wellness, there is a difference between the two.
Dentists focus on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental diseases and conditions. Orthodontists, on the other hand, focus on the misalignment of teeth and irregularities of the jaws.
