• Are ready to fix dental imperfections

The practice offers several cutting-edge techniques and advanced materials to meet your needs.

What can cosmetic dentistry address?

Cosmetic dentistry can correct the following:

• Stained and discolored teeth 
• Broken and chipped teeth
• Missing teeth
• Unwanted gum structures
• Crooked teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Teeth gaps

The Smile Dental Clinic team discusses your cosmetic goals, examines your teeth, gums, and the rest of your mouth, and then creates a personalized treatment plan.

Which cosmetic dentistry options are offered?

Smile Dental Clinic offers several expert cosmetic procedures. 

Whitening 

During in-office teeth whitening, your provider applies whitening gel to the surfaces of your teeth. This typically takes around 90 minutes, and you can expect to see immediate results.

Another option is at-home teeth whitening. You use custom-made trays and whitening gel from your provider. As the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxy radicals (OH) whiten stained teeth. This method generally takes 10-14 days to see results.

Your provider can consult with you on over-the-counter paint-on teeth whiteners and teeth-whitening strips. These options are generally less expensive but also less effective than professional treatments.

Gum reshaping 

You might benefit from gum reshaping if your teeth appear too short or your gumline is uneven.  Your provider removes a small amount of gum tissue or excess bone on one tooth (or several) to create a more even smile.

Veneers 

Porcelain veneers mask stains, discoloration, and chipped, cracked, and broken teeth. Your provider customizes the veneers to mirror your tooth’s structure and the look you desire.

Dental bonding

A bonding procedure repairs chipped, cracked, and misshapen teeth. Your provider applies tooth-colored resin to your teeth and uses a special light to harden it, bonding it to your teeth.
