What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

What Can Cosmetic Dentistry Correct?

Cosmetic dentistry can address numerous concerns that affect the appearance of your teeth. It is commonly used to fix discoloration or staining, whether caused by age, diet or lifestyle habits. Chips, cracks and worn edges can be repaired with bonding or veneers, restoring a natural and polished look. Gaps between teeth, misalignment or uneven spacing can be corrected with orthodontic solutions or cosmetic contouring.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

FAQ

What is the difference between cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your teeth, gums and overall smile, while general dentistry addresses oral health, such as cavities, gum disease and cleanings. While some procedures overlap, cosmetic treatments aim to improve aesthetics, often using specialized techniques like whitening, veneers or bonding to create a more attractive smile.

Are cosmetic dentistry procedures painful?

Most cosmetic dentistry procedures are minimally invasive and designed with patient comfort in mind. Treatments like teeth whitening, bonding and veneers typically cause little to no discomfort. For more extensive work, our dentists may use numbing agents or sedation to ensure a pain-free experience. Discuss concerns with us beforehand so our team can help ensure the most comfortable experience possible for you.

How long do cosmetic dentistry results last?

The longevity of results depends on the procedure and your oral care habits. Teeth whitening can last several months, while veneers and crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care. Regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene and avoiding habits like teeth grinding can help extend results.

Is cosmetic dentistry suitable for everyone?

Cosmetic dentistry is generally suitable for most individuals looking to improve their smile. However, a healthy foundation is crucial. Our dentists may address underlying issues, such as cavities or gum disease, before cosmetic treatments. A consultation will determine your eligibility and the best options to meet your goals and needs.

Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?

Most insurance plans do not cover purely cosmetic procedures like whitening or veneers. However, some treatments with functional benefits, such as crowns or bonding for damaged teeth, may be partially covered. It is best to review your policy or consult our team to understand your specific coverage.

Dental Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

Dental bonding uses composite resin to fix chips or build up a tooth that is slightly shorter or thinner than its surrounding teeth. Bonding can also be done to close a gap between a patient's teeth. Once the desired tooth shape is achieved, the material is light-cured, just like a composite filling.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are made of different materials like resin and porcelain. They have many benefits, including covering imperfections like discolorations that do not lighten, changing the shape of a tooth and more. Very little tooth structure needs to be removed to create a beautiful, natural-looking restoration.

Smile Design & Smile Makeovers

Smile Design uses an intraoral scanner to take detailed pictures and impressions of your mouth. With these images, we can create a 3D model of your mouth and show you exactly what your new smile will look like. It lets us get your feedback to make any changes before you ever sit in the treatment chair.

A cosmetic makeover might be right for you if you are not happy with the size, shape or color of your teeth. Using a variety of procedures, we can make a few changes or completely redesign your smile to boost your confidence and give you the smile of your dreams.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners can straighten mild to moderate misalignments discreetly and without the discomfort of traditional metal braces. Clear aligner therapy like Invisalign® clear aligners or SureSmile® aligners is also often faster than traditional braces, and because they can be removed to eat and drink, many patients find them easier to take care of too!

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening removes stains from smoking, foods and drinks, as well as stains from over exposure to certain medicines or trauma while the teeth were developing below the gums. Methods of teeth whitening include in-office treatments and take-home trays for follow-up whitening between professional sessions.
