Cosmetic Dentistry Before and After Photos

tooth bonding

Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding is similar to sculpting individual teeth with a special tooth-like material that looks, acts and feels like the real thing.

Bonding is an affordable, quick and painless way to repair many cosmetic flaws or injuries.

Dental bonding can quickly fill in ugly gaps between teeth and repair chips and cracks.

Tooth bonding materials are very durable, but they can still chip and may need to be replaced periodically. However, they are not as costly as porcelain veneers.


amalgam

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Many people have silver fillings in their teeth called amalgams. Over time, however, amalgam can corrode and blacken.

Your cosmetic dentist can now provide an alternative with tooth-colored composite fillings. These are made of a porcelain-like material that actually bonds to the tooth for a tight seal.

Tooth-colored fillings are stain resistant and color-matched to your teeth, making them nearly invisible.

As you can see, tooth-colored fillings can substantially improve the beauty of your teeth.


veneers

Porcelain Dental Veneers

Today we have exciting new biomaterials that can give your smile a lift without invasive treatments.

Ultra-thin porcelain veneers can correct chipped, weakened, or discolored teeth. No more yellow. No more gaps or embarrassing chips. And veneers can return real structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as good (or possibly better) than the originals.

Veneers are custom made to fit over your natural teeth, with a finish more translucent to blend in with surrounding teeth.

So people won't notice your tooth, they'll simply see your beautiful, natural smile.


implants

Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more teeth, you'll want replacements that are as natural as possible.

If dentures don't work for you, your cosmetic dentist may consider dental implants. Unlike dentures, which can be removed, implants are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.

Generally, if your dentist feels you are a good candidate for implants if you have jawbone ridges that are in good shape and healthy oral tissues. When the implant device is inserted into the jaw, a chemical and mechanical bond is formed. The jawbone actually grows into the implant.

With implants, you get a perfect fit, and they will look and feel as good as (or better than!) your original teeth.


crowns

Porcelain Dental Crowns

When the size of a filling exceeds a certain proportion of the damaged tooth, it must be replaced with a "cap," also called a "crown."

Porcelain crowns look very natural and don't have a dark metal line.

Porcelain crowns reflect light with a natural healthy glow.
