Popular cosmetic dental procedures include:
Cosmetic dentistry can improve oral health by helping you take better care of your teeth and giving you a smile you are proud of. Let’s look in more detail at each of the most popular services in cosmetic dentistry.
Also known as “tooth bleaching,” teeth whitening is one of the most often requested cosmetic dentistry procedures.
The service can be performed at your general dentist’s office, often in a single dental visit. The dental hygienist will first remove plaque, tartar, and other debris from each tooth’s surface, restoring its natural appearance. Then, your professional teeth whitening service can help you get naturally white teeth.
People find that whitening their teeth is the safest, easiest, and least expensive way to obtain a great smile.
Top benefit: Professional Teeth Whitening gives you a brighter, happier smile that boosts your confidence and appearance.
Teeth bonding, also known as “dental bonding,” or “enamel bonding” is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to fix damaged or aging teeth.
Common ways tooth bonding is used:
The resin’s color is matched to your teeth, so the bonding will look like a natural part of the tooth. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging provides quick and accurate guidance for many dental procedures. Enamel bonding is completed by “hardening” with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the resin to the tooth.
Top benefit: Tooth bonding improves tooth function while hiding imperfections.
Dental implants are growing in popularity to resolve issues with one or more missing teeth.
A dental implant is a prosthesis that joins with the bone of your jaw to support a dental crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis. It functions as an orthodontic anchor. A high-quality titanium screw functions to mimic the tooth’s root and offer stability.
Dental implants may be considered a cosmetic procedure when seeking a better aesthetic for your smile. It overlaps with restorative dentistry as it replaces a dying tooth and helps avoid further loss of jawbone.
Top benefit: Dental implants restore full chewing power while supporting good jaw bone health.
Porcelain veneers are a great option for patients with cracked, chipped, or irregularly shaped teeth. This form of cosmetic dentistry is also a great option for people who want to close a gap in their teeth or have discoloration that can’t be removed by whitening.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin porcelain coverings custom-designed to overlay on the front surface of a tooth. It requires precision only to remove a thin enamel layer, just enough to sufficiently bond to a patient’s tooth. A skilled cosmetic dentist ensures the veneer fits comfortably in your mouth.
The shell will then be bonded to your original tooth. The bond must be strong to ensure the porcelain veneer will withstand daily use and complement the original portion of your tooth. A well-placed porcelain veneer will help improve natural tooth function while creating a beautiful appearance. When you find a skilled dentist, you needn’t worry that they will crack or come loose.
In many situations, these veneers are considered an excellent alternative to dental crowns as they offer a more conservative approach to repairing tooth damage. Generally, it may last several years, especially when executed and cared for properly.
Top benefit: Porcelain veneers are an easy way to treat a wide variety of flaws with your smile.
Porcelain tooth crowns can be placed over almost any tooth that needs to be restored.
This may include teeth that are broken or fractured or have recently had a root canal. Crowns can also be used to repair teeth damaged by decay or oral injuries or simply to improve the appearance of your smile. They can also lessen the visual results of teeth grinding, protect damaged teeth, and strengthen teeth after root canal surgery.
Montgomery Dental Care’s crown procedure involves removing and cleaning a temporary crown, testing the bite and appearance, and then cementing the permanent crown. This is done with a special adhesive. You can view our gallery of single veneer crowns, to see how they improve appearances.
While similar, the main difference between veneers and crowns is how they fit your tooth and the reason for using them. A porcelain veneer is placed on the front surface of your tooth, while a dental crown covers your entire tooth.
Top benefit: Tooth crowns are durable and help you feel more confident about smiling and socializing.
Invisalign is an orthodontic dental specialty that aligns your bite and straightens your teeth.
Invisalign is a popular cosmetic dental service to fix crooked, overlapped, twisted, or gapped teeth. It is easier than traditional braces and is often preferred over removable retainers. Generally, they are easier to use, more comfortable, and less irritating to the lips, cheeks, and tongue. It may only take 6–18 months to complete the process of straightening your teeth. Most often, Invisalign treatment requires fewer appointments with a dentist.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly against your teeth. Since Invisalign treatment requires compliance, you must partner with your dentist. Your aligners must be worn for at least 22 hours daily to be effective. The advantage is that they are nearly invisible and more comfortable to wear. It’s truly an easy way to improve your smile.
Top benefit: Invisalign offers a virtually invisible way to beautify your smile so you can speak confidently and look great.
This type of cosmetic dentistry may be recommended if periodontal disease sets in.
If an effective daily oral hygiene routine is lacking, bacteria buildup commonly develops between teeth and under gums. Over time, this can trigger periodontal disease which slowly deteriorates jaw bone and causes teeth to decay. A full mouth reconstruction may be the best alternative to stop teeth from shifting and even falling out. An attractive smile may include full mouth reconstruction to restore a smile damaged by disease or facial injury fully.
This cosmetic service is about more than damaged or missing teeth. It requires a customized solution that will repair multiple problems in your mouth with one treatment plan. This is when you want a cutting-edge dental clinic that specializes in complex cosmetic dentistry.
Top benefit: A full mouth reconstruction not only makes all of your teeth healthier but also makes smiles look better.
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes excess gum tissue.
It is often used to reshape the gum line to create a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile. It is a common cosmetic procedure to treat uneven or “gummy smiles” where extra gum tissue covers parts of the teeth. Gum contouring can also be recommended for people with excessive gum disease, receding gums, or a lot of plaque on their teeth.
Many individuals select this cosmetic procedure because it can deliver dramatic results.
Gummy smile treatment is useful for:
Top benefit: Gum contouring creates a more uniform and symmetrical smile, while fixing exposed tooth roots.
The growing popularity of cosmetic dentistry is due to its affordability, the desire for a “Hollywood smile,” and the many benefits it offers over traditional treatments.
