Cosmetic Dental Treatment Choices

  1. Cosmetic Bonding—This process involves applying a synthetic, tooth-colored material to your teeth to rebuild or cosmetically sculpt them into a new, desired shape.
  2. Crowns—This procedure involves reshaping the tooth so a permanent custom-designed replacement tooth can be placed over it to protect a weak tooth structure or improve tooth appearance. The crown, sometimes called a cap, is cemented or bonded to the tooth surface and is often made of porcelain to look as natural as possible.
  3. Fixed Bridge—This dental appliance is non-removable and serves to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
  4. Full or Partial Dentures—These removable appliances serve to replace missing teeth.
  5. Orthodontics—This process straightens or realigns crooked or poorly positioned teeth.
  6. Porcelain Veneers—These tooth-colored laminates are custom fitted to cover the front surface of your natural teeth to provide a better color, texture or shape.
  7. Teeth Whitening—This process involves applying a whitening solution or gel to lighten the teeth. It is a safe, effective procedure for some types of tooth discoloration.
