Do you want to enjoy a smile that shines in 2024? Our team offers a host of cosmetic treatments to address the issues with the appearance of your smile. We even have Invisalign® if you find yourself abandoned by the bankruptcy of Smile Direct Club. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about cosmetic dentistry.
Starting with Your Cosmetic Consultation
To begin, we want to sit down with you and talk about your concerns with your smile. We can then choose the most appropriate treatment option to address these concerns, so you can obtain results that make you feel confident in your smile again. Every smile is unique, and our treatment options can be tailored to your smile, so the results look natural.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening treatments can remove stains and help brighten your smile, often by as much as eight shades! We have toe options to choose from. If you need results quickly, say, before this weekend, then you could undergo in-office treatment. With a special light and a powerful bleaching gel, we can brighten your smile in a little as one to two hours total. You leave with a brighter smile after one visit! For more severe discoloration, we have a take-home option that uses a set of custom trays and a powerful bleaching gel. You simply wear the gel-filled trays daily for about an hour, over the course of one to two weeks to see optimal results. When compared to store bought strips and toothpastes, these offer results that are dramatic and longer-lasting too!
The Bonding and Contouring Procedure
Our team can also handle issues with the shape of your teeth and even repair minor damage in one visit! With bonding, we use the same composite resin that comprises our tooth-colored fillings. The material is strong, biocompatible, and can be shaded to blend with the smile. With binding, we can mask teeth stains, repair minor damage, reshape teeth, and fill gaps between them in one sitting. We can also contour the teeth, sanding and buffing the outer structure to remove imperfections in the surfaces and with the shape of the tooth in one visit.
Gum Contouring
If you have a gummy smile, one that shows off too much gum and makes teeth appear short or uneven, then we can help with gum contouring. Employing advanced dental lasers, we gently term away excess tissues and reshape the gum line in one visit. Most people return to normal activities after 24 to 48 hours, and the lasers prevent damage to healthy tissues. Treatment usually requires little to no anesthesia, and the area heals quickly since we don’t use scalpels or sutures. There is also little risk of swelling, soreness, bleeding, or infection afterward, so you return to your usual routine quickly and instant results!
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of porcelain that we attach to the front facing side of each tooth. They instantly correct the shape and color of the teeth, which means they can makeover your smile in just two visits. The veneers are shaded to blend with your smile, and can correct damage, reshaping malformed teeth, close gaps between teeth, mask teeth stains, and correct an array of imperfections. We can even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you have straighter-looking teeth without the need for orthodontics at all! For many, this alone could completely transform the smile.
Invisalign®
What if you have dental misalignment? Poor misalignment not only alters the beauty of your smile, but it can impact the health of your smile too, leaving you vulnerable to issues like tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ disorder, and even bruxism (teeth grinding). Instead of using metal bares, we can employ a series of custom and clear plastic aligners, so you have prosaically invisible smile correction. The aligners gently shift and correct the positions of your teeth, with optimal results possible in as little as one year. They’re also removable! No need to change your diet, and brushing and flossing is much simpler too.
