Making Your Smile Shine With Cosmetic Dentistry

celina cosmetic dentistryHave you ever considered an appointment with our team for cosmetic dentistry? With these treatment options, we can brighten smiles and even reshape teeth and gums! In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about making smiles shine with cosmetic dentistry!

Starting With Your Cosmetic Consultation

Do you want to see if cosmetic dentistry can help your smile shine? Then you should schedule a consultation with our team. We will talk to you about your hopes for your smile and then conduct a detailed examination with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. We can then diagnose the cause and severity of your esthetic imperfections, and create a treatment plan to boost your smile’s appearance. With cosmetic dentistry, we can use one or more treatments to help make your smile shine again!

Teeth Whitening Treatments

If you have stained teeth, we can help with professional teeth whitening. We have two different options available. For results in as little as one to two hours, we could provide an in-office treatment. We apply a protective covering for your lips and gums, and then place a powerful bleaching gel onto the teeth. We then activate the gel with a special light.

For more severe stains, we could discuss our at-home option. With this selection, we first create a set of custom plastic trays, which you take home with you. We also provide multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel, which you also take home with you. At home, you add gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time, usually a half hour to 45 minutes a day. You then repeat this for a week to ten days, and your smile could be multiple shades brighter!

Bonding and Contouring

What if you have issues with more than just teeth stains? Then with bonding and contouring, we can help transform the shape of the teeth too! With dental bonding, we use the same composite resin as our dental fillings to repair chipped and cracked teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, address misshapen teeth, and fill in gaps between them. We can also mask permanent teeth stains that could resist teeth whitening.

With contouring, we take a different approach. Our team will sand and buff the outer structure to remove pits, grooves, and rough patches in the surfaces. Our team can also dull sharp, jagged, or pointed tooth structures. The contouring procedure can also correct overly large or misshapen teeth, and correct the appearance of a chipped tooth, all in one visit.

Our Porcelain Veneers

For many, porcelain veneers provide a full smile makeover! Our team will custom-make these thin porcelain restorations, creating a cosmetic solution to the issues that plague your smile’s appearance. Once we attach these thin restorations to the front of your teeth, we can instantly mask stains, reshape malformed teeth, and lengthen worn down structures too. Placement can fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth too. We can use veneers to repair minor damage and even correct the appearance of minor misalignment, so you obtain a straighter smile without the need for braces or removable aligners.

Laser Gum Contouring

Do you have too much gum on display when you smile? A gummy smile can make teeth appear short and uneven. But with laser gum contouring, our team can correct this and bring symmetry and beauty to your smile. We gently mark the gums that need to be removed, then the laser can do so with precision and accuracy, reshaping your smile in the process. The procedure only takes one visit, and you can see results immediately. Healing is fast too, most people return to their normal routine in about 24 hours.

Removing White Spots

If you have unsightly white spots on your teeth, this could be a sign of weakening enamel. The risk of a cavity is high! But with Icon® infiltrant, we can add a special material to the tooth that removes white spots and strengthens these weakened portions of your smile. The treatment only takes one visit to complete!
