Who is Cosmetic Dentistry for?
Cosmetic dentistry can make a positive difference in the lives of anyone looking to improve the appearance of their smile. If you feel your teeth have become dull or yellowed over time due to age, lifestyle, or hereditary factors, you can consider cosmetic dentistry as a method to restore their brightness and brilliance. With so many options available like tooth whitening, veneers, and dental implants, it’s easy to tailor your treatment plan based on your individual needs. Cosmetic dentistry in Chandler is not limited to adults – children experiencing early signs of dental damage or decay can also benefit from these treatments and could see significant improvement in the overall look and health of their teeth. Whether you are looking to be proactive about maintaining your perfect smile over time or you’re an adult who seeks an easy fix for tricky stains – there is a cosmetic solution that can be tailored just for you.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options
Crowns and bridges
If you have missing teeth, damaged or decaying ones, or teeth that need restoration, a dental crown and bridge might be the perfect solution for you. Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that encases the entire tooth to strengthen it and give it a more natural-looking appearance. Bridges are a great way to fill in gaps between teeth, as they involve permanently anchoring a replacement tooth to nearby healthy teeth.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening can be a great way to brighten your smile and make you feel confident in your appearance. At our office, we offer professional teeth whitening services that use advanced products to safely and effectively lighten your tooth enamel, removing discolorations or dullness caused by food, drink or age.
Dental implants
Dental implants are a modern, revolutionary way to permanently replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, they are attached directly to your jawbone, providing you with outcomes that look and feel like natural teeth. Implants use the latest protective titanium technology to fuse with the bone of your jaw, creating a stable foundation for the prosthetic tooth - or teeth - to be placed atop.
Tooth-colored fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are a great solution if you're looking to restore and preserve the color and structure of your teeth. They provide an undetectable repair to teeth affected by decay, discoloration, chips or cracks and can be used to even out the patient's smile. As they are tooth colored, they blend in with your natural dentition, giving a seamless aesthetic appearance.
Dentures
Dentures provide an important dental service for those who do not have access to natural teeth. Whether it's due to decay, disease, or another medical issue, dentures can bring back a person's beautiful smile, restore their ability to chew normally and alleviate discomfort in the mouth. With modern techniques and materials, dentures look extremely realistic and can be designed to fit into any lifestyle.
Inlays and Onlays
For those looking for more than a traditional filling, inlays, and onlays are the ideal solution. An inlay is a custom-made, indirect filling made of porcelain, gold, or composite material that is cemented into the grooves between the cusps or bumps at the top of your tooth surface. Onlays are similar but offer more coverage and can be seen as semi-permanent crowns since they spread further onto the back surface of one or more teeth.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes uneven, disproportionate or gummy smile for an improved appearance. This simple and straightforward treatment can give you the confidence to show off your pearly whites without worrying about a gummy smile. It works by removing excess soft tissue from around the tooth, so your teeth become visible and balanced with the rest of your mouth.
