How it Works

If you are considering cosmetic dentistry, the best approach is to book a full consultation with our team. After this examination, it can be determined if you need veneers, bridges, a crown, implants, or other treatment.

Any other issues you are having with your teeth will be addressed during your visit, such as injuries to your teeth, decay, cavities, wear, chips, cracks, and root canals. Your gums will be checked for gum disease also. Gum disease can affect a  number of procedures, such as implants. Preparation for any restorative or cosmetic process will require X-rays, pictures, and impressions.

Depending on how much restorative or cosmetic work you need will depend on the timeline and stages of your visits. A full mouth reconstruction or something similar could take up to a year to complete depending on the patient’s particular needs.

Common Cosmetic Procedures

Dental Implants

Implants are a wonderful cosmetic procedure that can really make your mouth and smile feel new. Dental implants are a restorative method of replacing missing, broken, chipped, or damaged teeth. They work through the placement of a titanium prosthetic root that replaces your former natural tooth root. The new root will bond and adjust to the gum tissue. Once ready, an abutment will be placed on top of the root and connected to a crown (your new fake tooth). This new tooth will function just like a natural tooth.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a treatment that literally “bridges” the area left by missing teeth and replaces them. A bridge basically consists of two crowns with a complete, prosthetic tooth attached between them. The crowns are placed over the teeth surrounding the empty space so that the prosthetic tooth fills the space left by the missing tooth.

Crowns

Crowns and bridges can be made to match your teeth perfectly. A crown fits securely over a damaged tooth, covering it on all sides to strengthen the natural tooth and improve its appearance. In some cases, your natural teeth will also be adjusted to match the crowns.

Inlays/Onlays/Veneers

Inlays and Onlays and veneers are thin layers of tooth-like structure that improve a tooth’s appearance. Veneers are similar to inlays/onlays. Both procedures place thin layers of resin over the front or the top of teeth to give a full and clean cosmetic effect that requires no downtime and can really improve your smile.
