Cosmetic Dentistry For Aesthetic Smiles
Imperfections in your smile can hurt your confidence and hold you back from freely laughing, talking and smiling. Many flaws can be concealed with one or more of our safe cosmetic dental procedures. Our treatments in cosmetic dentistry, approved by the American Dental Association, (ADA) & the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) can address:
- Chips
- Fractures or cracks
- Dull or discolored teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing between the teeth
- Asymmetrical teeth and gumlines
Candidates For Cosmetic Dentistry
The best candidates for cosmetic procedures have healthy teeth and gums free from decay or periodontal disease. It is advisable to have any needed restorative treatment, such as fillings or root canal therapy, completed before cosmetic procedures are considered.
Common Procedures
At Masterpiece Smiles, we offer the following treatments in cosmetic dentistry:
- Smile Design: A brand-new smile is possible – and can be fully customized by you. This allows you to be involved in the process, if you wish, with smile design, color, tooth shape. Our cosmetic imaging photography helps you visualize your new smile before treatment begins.
- Veneers: These thin, medical-grade ceramic covers can camouflage an array of flaws. Veneers can combine the powerful effects of orthodontics, professional whitening, and dental bonding all in one. Treatment requires just a couple of appointments, and the results can last for up to 20 years. Porcelain veneers are considered a permanent treatment, and are maintained the same as your natural teeth. Due to the minor amount of enamel that must be removed for treatment, veneers cannot be reversed or removed permanently.
- Power Bleach: Experience a faster way to visibly whiter teeth. This procedure can be carried out in office or with take home trays for additional whitening power.
- In Office Tooth Whitening: This process allows quicker, more powerful, whitening results than at Home Whitening. In Office Whitening is often combined wtih at home whitening for the best results
- In Office Ozone Tooth Whitening: Is an in- office tooth whitening option that decreases tooth sensitivity. The ozone (activated oxygen) reacts quickly with the whitening agent, allowing the process to speed up, & decreases the time of the whitening agent, potentially making the teeth sensitive.
- At Home Whitening: Custom tooth whitening trays to whiten your teeth. We have many different tooth gels options depending on your whitening goal. Some that are for maintaining & others designed to whiten your teeth more.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Restorative work shouldn’t take away from your smile. Tooth-colored composite fillings maintain a white, un-blemished smile while protecting and strengthening teeth.
- Porcelain Inlays and Onlays: These restorative treatments are a great alternative to fillings or dental crowns for certain patients. Our team can match your tooth’s natural color and finish, improving not only the strength of the tooth, but its appearance.
- Dental Crowns: Acting as a protective cap around a tooth, dental crowns can also improve the appearance of a damaged, deteriorated or discolored tooth. Our beautiful porcelain crowns mimic the color, shape and glossy finish of a natural tooth.
- Dental Bonding: A tooth colored filling material that can be a cost-effective solution for chips, cracks and discoloration that looks natural and will last for up to five to 10 years.
- Laser Gum Recontouring: Gummy smiles or uneven gum lines can detract from your smile and make your teeth appear smaller than they are. Recontouring creates even, aesthetic gum lines that support your teeth in creating a more beautiful smile.
- Cosmetic Dentures & Bridges: We can help you fill in gaps in your smile through custom tooth replacement solutions that seamlessly match natural teeth and gums.
- Smile Makeovers: Combining two or more cosmetic procedures, Drs. Mike and Jeremy Frith can help you achieve a dramatically different smile.
- Implants: Implants after tooth loss have so many benefits, including maintaining teeth alignment and keeping your facial structure around your smile from changing over time.
