WHAT IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY?

Enhancing a patient's teeth, gums, or bite in general is the main goal of cosmetic dentistry. Common cosmetic dentistry treatment options include professional teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, contouring, composite fillings, and orthodontics (braces and Invisalign). These procedures typically improve not only the beauty of your smile but also your oral health.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY TREATMENT OPTIONS

Learn more about the cosmetic dentistry treatments that we offer by exploring the four procedures below.

Straighten Your Teeth with Invisalign

The simplest and most practical method of getting your teeth straightened is with Invisalign. Your teeth gradually reposition themselves into the ideal alignment with the help of a series of removable custom aligners. Many different cases can be treated with Invisalign, and for some patients, the length of their orthodontic treatment can be halved! The fact that this treatment option is easily incorporated into any person's lifestyle is one of the main reasons why so many of our patients prefer it over traditional braces. If you're a professional athlete, teacher, or businessperson, Invisalign is a terrific way to get the smile you've always wanted.

Flexible payment options and free Invisalign consultations are provided by our office. You will see your expected results during your Invisalign consultation so you can see exactly what Invisalign can do for you! Get in touch with us to schedule your Invisalign consultation right now.

Teeth Whitening that Works with Just One Treatment

One of the most requested cosmetic dentistry procedures is professional whitening. There are several reasons why teeth might stain, including smoking, some foods, drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, and not maintaining good dental hygiene. The appearance of a strained smile can be instantly brightened by bleaching teeth.

We use the Phillips Zoom Professional Whitening System at Milestone. It's the system we like because it has been specially designed for sensitivity reduction, which can often be a result of professional bleaching. You can whiten your teeth up to eight shades with a single in-office treatment! It normally takes about 2 hours to make this visit.

You'll also receive a series of professional whitening vials that you can take with you to use for future touch-ups in addition to the office procedure. Our clinic offers several other teeth brightening options if you don't need anything dramatic or want to have your smile fixed. Next time you go to the dentist, make sure to ask about it!

Veneers, a Cosmetic Option to Improve or Protect Your Teeth

To improve the appearance of your teeth or protect them from damage, a veneer is simply a layer of material that's placed on top of each tooth. Veneers can be used to treat discoloration, cracks, crookedness, and fractures of teeth. Our cosmetic dentists may recommend veneers as a treatment option to help you get the results you want, after examining your teeth thoroughly and carrying out an oral examination.

The process of getting veneers typically requires several dental appointments. The first appointment involves a consultation and exam. The second appointment is when the tooth is prepped for the veneer. The final appointment is when the veneer is bonded to the existing tooth structure.

Bonding, Repair and Restore Damaged Teeth

Bonding may be used to repair or improve the appearance of cracked, broken, discolored or decayed teeth. Tooth bonding involves the placement of a natural-looking material, which is then sculpted into shape, contoured, and hardened with high-intensity light on the tooth's surface. The result is a restoration that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of your natural teeth to create a healthy, bright smile. Without even realizing it, many patients have received a dental treatment involving dental bonding: either direct composite bonding or adhesive bonding of a restoration that was created in a laboratory or in-office.
