Cosmetic Dentistry Specialist

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the aesthetics of your smile. Although, some cosmetic procedures may also help correct dental problems, like making your teeth straighter or less crowded, and help strengthen your teeth and protect them from decay. 

Common cosmetic dentistry treatments include:

• Professional teeth whitening
• Dental veneers
• Dental implants
• Invisalign® clear aligners
• Dental crowns and bridges
• Dental bonding
• Inlays and onlays

For unique situations, your dentist may also recommend a complete smile makeover to improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Typically, a smile makeover involves one or more cosmetic procedures, such as implants and teeth whitening, or veneers. 

The skilled team of dental professionals at Reston Dental Center customizes a cosmetic treatment plan based on your individual needs, your oral health, and your desired outcome. 

They address all your cosmetic concerns so you can have a healthier, more beautiful smile for years to come.

What dental issues can cosmetic treatments correct?

Cosmetic dental treatments correct a variety of common dental concerns, such as:

• Yellow or stained teeth
• Worn-down teeth
• Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth
• Oddly shaped teeth
• Teeth that are too small or too large
• Uneven teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Overlapping teeth
• Missing teeth

For example, you may benefit from Invisalign plus a professional teeth whitening for an overall straighter, brighter smile. 

Or, custom dental implants can fill in the spaces if you have missing teeth so you no longer feel self-conscious when you talk, smile, and laugh.

How does dental bonding work?

If you have a broken, decayed, or cracked tooth, dental bonding may be a good way to restore it to its original condition. 

Your dentist uses a tooth-colored resin to mold and reshape the tooth or fill in cracks, if needed, and a special light to bond the resin to your tooth. 

Your bonded tooth can be polished and shaped until it matches the surrounding teeth so the end result is a stronger individual tooth and a more uniform smile.
