Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on enhancing and improving the way your smile looks. Maintaining the appearance of your smile can boost your confidence and self-esteem. Many cosmetic treatments may also restore the function of your teeth if you struggle with chips, cracks, and other common concerns.
Cosmetic dentistry may have the right treatment for you if you have:
Cosmetic treatments can even relieve pressure from your teeth or jaw if you have a malocclusion (a bad bite).
Dr. Chang and his team perform an array of cosmetic treatments at their office, including:
Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over the visible portion of your teeth. They can change the shape, size, or color of your teeth. The team typically recommends porcelain crowns if you have cracked, weakened, or severely stained teeth. Porcelain crowns are stain-resistant and color-matched to your teeth for natural-looking results.
Composite fillings use a tooth-colored material to repair damage from tooth decay. They’re especially well suited for teeth that are visible when you smile.
Dr. Chang and his team offer BriteSmile® teeth whitening. Unlike other professional whitening solutions, BriteSmile doesn’t use lasers, heat, or scraping to whiten your teeth. Instead, it brightens your smile with a combination of a safe, gentle whitening gel and blue light.
Veneers are wafer-thin pieces of porcelain that bond to the surface of your teeth. These thin shells can change the shape, size, or color of your teeth. They’re durable and stain-resistant, so you never have to worry about discoloration.
A bridge is a restorative treatment for missing teeth. Bridges use the teeth surrounding your missing tooth for support. Dr. Chang and his team offer porcelain fixed bridges because they’re discreet and look natural.
Inlays and onlays are porcelain filling materials. They’re strong and durable, similar to fillings and partial crowns.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces your tooth roots if you have a missing tooth. It bonds to your jawbone, so your results are permanent.
A full mouth restoration is a treatment that uses two or more cosmetic treatments to restore your smile.
