Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry includes dental procedures that improve a person's teeth and gums, resulting in a better, more noticeable smile. Although the term cosmetic dentistry is commonly referred to as redundant, since general dentistry is aimed at improving the look and feel of a patient's teeth; the term focuses more of an emphasis on improving the smile and overall appearance of the teeth.

Dentists who practice cosmetic dentistry have extensive experience in techniques that can greatly improve a person's confidence and give them a new look on life. A smile can be transformed from a no-tooth grin to a full, brilliant, white smile. It is for these reasons that cosmetic dentistry has become more and more popular throughout the United States.

Invisalign

the most popular alternative to orthodontic braces because, as the name suggests, they are invisible to the eye. This means that the teeth will be straightened in the same ways as braces work, but without the loss of a natural looking smile.

Teeth Whitening

tooth whitening is the most common cosmetic dentistry procedure performed because it can rapidly and significantly improve the appearance of a smile. There are several different teeth whitening techniques available on the market, from in-office treatments to take-home treatments.

Veneers

ultra-thin shells of tooth colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve the appearance of a smile. Veneers are custom designed to fit each patient, in order to ensure a perfect fit and a natural look. Veneers can be used on teeth that are chipped, discolored, misaligned, uneven, worn down, or abnormally spaced.

We offer the following cosmetic dentistry procedures in our Denver Colorado dental office:

• Dental Implants- a cosmetic dentistry procedure that is used to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are a long-term solution that results in a healthy, natural looking, and natural feeling smile. Dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone and can be a solution for anyone, with the exception of children, looking to fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and create a brilliant smile.
• Dental Bonding- the application of a tooth-colored resin material to improve the appearance of discolored or chipped teeth, to close the gaps between teeth, to change the shape of a tooth, or to make a tooth look longer. Tooth bonding is performed by using adhesives and a high intensity curing light. Another use for dental bonding is as a substitute for amalgam fillings and to protect a portion of a tooth that has exposed nerves or exposed root from receding gums.
