Veneers
With dental veneers, patients can fix many smile flaws at once. The shells are versatile enough to hide stains, chips, cracks, and more. At times, they’ll even serve as “instant orthodontics” and cover up crooked teeth! These effects are all due to the veneers’ quality material. Since they're made of porcelain, veneers match the color, size, and shape of your other teeth. They’ll thus ensure that your grin looks balanced and beautiful.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
If you don’t already know, metal restorations are going out of style. Thankfully, you can visit us to get natural-looking metal-free ones instead. Our office’s crowns and fillings use resin and ceramic, not gold or silver. That means they’ll blend perfectly with the rest of your smile. As a bonus, they can also last a decade or more with proper care.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If your smile’s flaws are minor, cosmetic bonding may be the ideal option. It covers up your grin’s problem areas with a tooth-colored resin. That way, treatment hides tooth stains, chips, cracks, and more. Such results also come quickly – the bonding process only takes an hour. As for the treatment lifespan, it can last for ten years or more. Plus, cosmetic bonding is one of the most cost-effective dental services you can get.
Teeth Whitening
Per its name, teeth whitening can brighten up a discolored grin. It uses a special gel to bleach your enamel, removing stains as a result. Our practice offers two types: in-office Zoom! whitening and take-home Ultradent kits. Dr. Spades performs the former through a one-hour dental visit. With the take-home Ultradent kit, you’ll wear custom gel-filed trays for two weeks. Whichever method you choose, expect your smile to look several shades whiter.
Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening
Aside from your teeth, your gums can also make your grin look less than ideal. An excess of the tissue can hide much of your pearly whites from view. Given that fact, our office has a way to treat “gummy smiles.” Gum recontouring can alter your gumline and remove the unneeded tissue. From there, everyone will get to see your nice, white enamel. The effect is also permanent, as gums don’t grow back.
Smile Makeovers
If you have several imperfections, a smile makeover may offer the most efficient way to get the result you desire. A makeover can include teeth whitening, veneers, cosmetic bonding, and more. We can give you a preview of your final look using digital smile design, and you’ll save time instead of getting each service separately.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive
Cosmetic dentistry is associated with a hefty price tag, but you don't have to be rich to invest in the smile of your dreams. You have more options than ever before, which means there's a solution to fit your budget. Your cosmetic dentist, Dr. Joseph S. Spades, will create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your goals without breaking the bank. You'll invest in a stunning smile to enhance your confidence and professional image. You can't put a price on the benefits you'll gain with a picture-perfect smile.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Take?
Cosmetic dentistry isn't a single procedure, and every situation differs. Everyone's timeline looks different, but you can expect to need your initial consultation. Some patients require a little prep work before getting started, like a dental cleaning, filling, or gum disease therapy. The type of cosmetic procedure will also influence your timeline. Some treatments can be performed in a single appointment, like teeth whitening or dental bonding. However, others may require multiple visits, like veneers.
Which Cosmetic Treatment is Right for Me?
There's no one-size-fits-all solution to create a beautiful smile because every mouth is as unique as fingerprints. After learning more about your goals and examining your mouth, your cosmetic dentist will explain which procedures might be right for you, like:
- Veneers: Bonding veneers to the teeth that show when you smile can fix many issues at once using a minimally invasive procedure.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: Ceramic materials can be used to create restorations that look and function like real teeth.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: A composite resin can quickly fix minor issues in a single appointment.
- Teeth Whitening: Your teeth can get up to 8 shades whiter using an in-office whitening treatment.
- Crown Lengthening: Recontouring your gum line can result in a gummy smile and make your teeth look proportionate.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
Many factors will affect the duration of your results, like the procedures used. No matter the method, you can get the most out of your new smile with good oral hygiene habits. Besides brushing and flossing, limit your consumption of sugary foods and drinks. Stop any bad habits that may damage your teeth, like chewing on your fingernails. If you tend to grind your teeth, ask your dentist for a nightguard to provide a barrier between your upper and lower arches. Don't forget to wear an athletic mouthguard if you play sports. Schedule a cleaning and checkup with your dentist every 6 months. They'll keep your teeth and gums healthy to ensure your new smile lasts for years.
