Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry includes various procedures that improve the look and feel of your smile. At Dentistry Downtown, the most common methods we perform are teeth whitening, veneers, and dental crowns. Some patients find cosmetic dentistry especially helpful if they have a cracked or chipped tooth. The patient’s smile aesthetics and function improve when we restore the tooth. 

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is one of the most requested procedures in cosmetic dentistry.  In-office treatment using professional-strength whitening gel can brighten your smile up to eight shades. 

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are one of the most significant advancements in cosmetic dentistry. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that can help conceal minor flaws like chips, fractures, gaps, or discoloration. Veneers offered by our dentist in Huntsville, AL can also conceal misalignment, teeth that are too small or too big, and teeth that appear too square or too round.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the tooth. This material is then cured using a special light. The bonding material can fill in small gaps, repair cracks, or disguise minor stains. The resin matches the patient’s existing tooth color, making it nearly indistinguishable from the natural tooth.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are dental restorations that fit into the tooth's grooves, like a filling. However, unlike fillings, they are fabricated in a lab based on impressions made during an initial appointment and then later placed during the second appointment. Inlays and onlays can cover large cavities and can also be used to repair fractured teeth. Call us to learn more.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

A beautiful smile is not only beautiful, but it is also healthy. Those with bad teeth are more likely to develop other health conditions, including teeth grinding, and gum disease.  

Also, a beautiful smile can be the key to improving your confidence. When you feel self-conscious about your smile, it can make social situations uncomfortable. Cosmetic dentistry treatments by our dentist in Huntsville, AL, such as teeth whitening, can give you the confidence to share your smile with the world.  

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of teeth, including color, shape, and overall appearance. Dental issues, such as missing teeth or dental damage, can cause embarrassment. Additionally, severe dental problems, such as abscesses, can make people self-conscious. Investing in cosmetic dental treatments can improve your oral health and self-esteem.
