If you’re considering cosmetic dentistry, my team and I are pleased to offer a full range of treatments and services to bring you to your smile goals.
Continue reading to learn more about the cosmetic dentistry process, the available options, what they can currently do, and how to care for your smile afterward.
I’ve designed this complete guide to cosmetic dentistry to answer your questions, but if you would like additional information or have other questions, never hesitate to contact my dental team.
Getting Started with Cosmetic Dentistry
You may have a few discolored teeth, missing teeth, or other smile flaws that make it difficult to smile confidently. You should call my office to book a cosmetic dentistry consultation to learn which options might work to correct these issues and whether you’re a candidate.
This lets me review the various options and let you know whether they’ll correct your smile imperfections. Sometimes, you’re an instant candidate for treatment. Other times, you’ll require pretreatments to help make your procedure a reality.
If you decide to pursue cosmetic dentistry, I will plan your treatment, discuss costs, and answer any questions.
So, the first step on your journey to a new smile is a comprehensive consultation in my dental office.
Issues that Cosmetic Dentistry Can Correct
Cosmetic dentistry can correct most cosmetic flaws, including:
- Stained and discolored teeth
- Gaps or unusual spacing between teeth
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Short or worn teeth
- Gummy appearing smiles
- Chips, cracks, and general imperfections
- Missing teeth
Remember, some cosmetic options fall under more than one category. For example, Invisalign® enhances your smile cosmetically and improves orthodontic issues for functionality, promoting improved oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options in Randolph, NJ
Based on your smile goals, my team and I can help you choose the options that bring the desired results. Of course, when it comes to enhancing your smile, you’re in charge! In other words, you may only want to address the cosmetic flaws that bother you most or opt for a full smile makeover. The choice is always yours.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells of quality porcelain cemented to the front sides of the teeth. They are customized to look natural and conceal most tooth flaws, including short teeth, gummy smiles, tooth stains, and general imperfections.
I remove a bit of tooth enamel or etch to cement veneers for a flush and natural-looking finish. This means you must treat your veneers as permanent restorations, always replacing lost or damaged ones.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is the only safe way to remove stubborn tooth stains and discoloration. Store-bought systems can be too harsh for your enamel or not deliver the results you were hoping for.
Tooth-Colored Restorations
Tooth-colored restorations are another example of a cosmetic enhancement that also improves your oral health. A dental supports a weak or treated tooth, preventing loss. A tooth-colored filling treats decay without silver amalgam.
Dental Bonding
Using tooth-colored filling material, I can easily hide tooth flaws and discoloration in my dental office. This treatment can sometimes be completed in one day.
Clear Orthodontics
We use Invisalign® clear aligners to straighten crooked teeth, close gaps in your smile, and reduce overcrowding. Straight teeth are typically healthier and easier to care for, and they look fabulous when you smile!
Tooth Replacement
Tooth replacement can mean anything from a dental bridge to a dental implant. Dental implants may be singles—one replacement crown for one artificial tooth root—or implant-supported prosthetics. Implant dentures rely on four or more dental implants for a fixed and stable solution to complete tooth loss.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction concentrates on the health and aesthetics of your smile, repairing broken teeth, treating old cavities, and so much more. It is any combination of dental treatments that restores your smile's health and beauty.
Caring for Your New Smile
Aftercare depends on the treatments you have in my dental office. Single dental implants require only regular brushing and flossing to remain viable and healthy. Invisalign requires following my instructions for wear and aligner changes.
No matter the treatment, we’ll always ensure you understand the aftercare. However, modern cosmetic dentistry in Randolph does not require many added oral hygiene steps or in-office visits! You continue seeing the dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings.
We’ll discuss aftercare in specifics based on your treatment or treatments.
