Learn About Our Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Traditional dentistry is focused on ensuring oral health. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, is focused on how your smile, mouth, and teeth look. Breakthroughs in cosmetic dentistry now enable dentists to give patients everything from enhanced professional whitening to virtually invisible veneers and smile makeovers.

It doesn’t matter if your smile needs a complete overhaul or just some minor adjustments—there’s a wide array of cosmetic treatments that can effectively treat missing, chipped, misshapen, or stained teeth. Here at Kevin S. Midkiff, D.D.S. Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Lynchburg, VA, your dentist offers a multitude of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Here’s a primer of the cosmetic dentistry options we offer:

• Dental Veneers: These are super-slim, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or resin composite. They are specifically made to cover the fronts of your teeth for concealing various cosmetic flaws, including discoloration, minor chips and cracks, slightly crooked teeth, and misshapen teeth.
• Professional Teeth Whitening: Utilized to brighten stained or discolored teeth. You could opt for dentist-administered in-office bleaching in your dentist’s office or a bleaching kit dispensed and supervised by your dentist.
• Dental Bonding and Reshaping: Used to enhance the look of teeth that are slightly gapped, cracked, chipped, fractured, or discolored by applying tooth-colored materials on the surface of the teeth. Bonding is also usually combined with tooth reshaping, likewise called dental contouring. This entails improving the teeth’s appearance by removing or altering tooth enamel.
• Dental Filling: This aids in restoring decayed teeth and preventing further damage to the teeth by sealing off cavities where bacteria could enter. For deeper cavities, your cosmetic dentistry professional in Lynchburg, VA, may recommend inlays. Onlays, on the other hand, are used for restoring the tooth’s cusp.
• Dental Implants: These are basically titanium screws that will replace lost tooth roots and are placed surgically into your jawbone. Once implanted, dental crowns that feel, appear, and work like your real teeth will be mounted on top.
• Smile Makeovers: These are cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments that can address your teeth and smile’s overall appearance. You and your dentist will discuss the most suitable procedures to give your smile a complete overhaul.
