Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

There are many cosmetic dental procedures available, each with its benefits. Some of the most popular procedures include:

• Veneers
• Teeth Whitening 
• Dental implants
• Bonding
• Dental bridges
• Dental Crowns
• Inlays and onlays
• Invisalign and ClearCorrect
• Tooth Contouring 

Veneers are among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. They are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front part of your teeth. Veneers correct various cosmetic concerns, including gaps, chips, and cracks. The two most common types of veneers are porcelain veneers or veneers made of composite materials.

Teeth Whitening is a popular, non-invasive way to brighten your smile. We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening options. In-office teeth whitening is a quick and effective way to achieve dramatic results. Our at-home teeth whitening kit is a great option for those who want to whiten their teeth at their own pace.

Dental Implants are a popular way to replace missing or damaged teeth. A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, then topped with a porcelain crown. Dental implants are strong, stable, and look and feel just like your natural teeth.

Bonding is a popular, non-invasive way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Bonding involves the placement of a tooth-colored resin on the teeth to cover up imperfections. Bonding can be used to correct a wide variety of cosmetic concerns, including gaps, chips, and cracks.

Dental Bridges replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is made up of two crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth in between. Dental bridges are a great way to restore your smile. 

Dental Crowns are used to cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap placed over the damaged tooth. Crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and composite resin. 

Inlays and Onlays are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth. Inlays and onlays are custom-made, tooth-shaped fillings that are usually used on the cuspid or biting surface of the tooth. Inlays and onlays are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and composite resin. 

Invisalign and ClearCorrect (clear aligners) are popular alternatives to traditional braces. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your misaligned teeth. Invisalign is a great option for those who want to straighten their teeth without the hassle or bulky look of metal braces.

Tooth Contouring is a popular, non-invasive way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Tooth contouring involves the removal of small amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape, size, or length of your teeth. Tooth contouring can be used to correct a wide variety of cosmetic concerns, including gaps, chips, and cracks.

Cosmetic Procedure Consultation

At your cosmetic procedure consultation, we will discuss your goals and concerns. We will examine your teeth and mouth to determine which procedure is right for you. It is important to be realistic about the results that can be achieved with cosmetic dental procedures. We will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs and smile goals. 

Most procedures can be completed in one or two visits. Some procedures, such as dental implants and veneers, may require more than one visit. We will discuss the timeline for your treatment at your consultation. 

What Are the Risks of Cosmetic Procedures?

As with any dental procedure, there are some risks with cosmetic dental procedures. These risks will be discussed with you at your consultation. We will work with you to minimize these risks and ensure you are comfortable with the procedures. 

What Is the Recovery Time for Cosmetic Procedures?

Most cosmetic procedures are outpatient procedures, which means that you will be able to go home the same day. However, it is important to follow all post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing. Procedures like implants will require a longer recovery time.

We will discuss the recovery time for your specific procedure at your consultation.
