Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Cosmetic dentistry includes a variety of treatments designed to improve the appearance, function, and overall health of your smile. Depending on your needs, procedures may help correct discoloration, damaged teeth, uneven spacing, or missing teeth while supporting long-term oral health and confidence.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells, often made of porcelain, that are placed over the front surface of your teeth. Veneers are commonly used to improve the appearance of your smile by correcting chips, discoloration, uneven shapes, and other aesthetic concerns.
Porcelain veneers are designed to resemble natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your smile. They are often used on front teeth, where appearance matters most. This treatment can create a more balanced, natural-looking smile while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments and can help brighten teeth affected by discoloration from foods, beverages, aging, and other factors.
At Embury Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use KöR Whitening, a professional whitening system known for its highly researched approach to treating tooth discoloration.
Professional whitening treatments can provide more predictable and effective results than many store-bought whitening products. Treatment is customized to your needs to help you achieve a brighter smile while protecting your oral health.
Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is used to repair small imperfections in your teeth. A tooth-colored material is applied to the tooth surface and carefully shaped to blend with your natural tooth.
Dental bonding may be used to improve chips, fractured teeth, small gaps, or uneven tooth shape. It is a conservative cosmetic option that can often be completed in a single visit.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a clear aligner system used to gradually straighten teeth. It is a popular option for adults who want to improve their smile without traditional braces.
The aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine. Invisalign can help correct spacing, crowding, and certain bite concerns while remaining discreet throughout treatment.
Orthodontics for Adults
Invisalign is a clear aligner system used to gradually straighten teeth. It is a popular option for adults who want to improve their smile without traditional braces.
The aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine. Invisalign can help correct spacing, crowding, and certain bite concerns while remaining discreet throughout treatment.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can provide benefits that extend beyond appearance.
Depending on the treatment, patients may experience improved confidence, better function, easier daily oral care, and a smile that feels more natural and balanced.
Cosmetic treatment may also be combined with restorative and preventive care to help improve the overall health and stability of your smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Dental Health
Cosmetic dentistry can often work hand in hand with restorative and preventive dental care.
Treatments that improve tooth alignment can make teeth easier to clean and help support good oral hygiene. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants can help restore chewing function, maintain proper spacing, and support the surrounding oral structures.
And it is never too late to make improvements to your smile, oral health, and confidence. Our team can help you explore treatment options based on your current dental health and personal goals.
Tooth-Colored Restorations and Ceramic or Porcelain Crowns
Tooth-colored restorations and ceramic or porcelain crowns can repair damaged teeth while creating a natural-looking result.
These treatments may improve the shape, strength, and appearance of teeth that are worn, fractured, weakened, or affected by decay.
Dental crowns cover the visible portion of the tooth to help protect and strengthen it while restoring normal function. Tooth-colored materials are carefully selected to complement the surrounding teeth and create a seamless appearance.
Additional Cosmetic and Restorative Options
In addition to dental bonding, veneers, whitening, and orthodontic treatment, we offer a range of restorative options that can complement your cosmetic treatment plan.
Depending on your needs, these may include:
- Dental crowns to restore damaged or weakened teeth
- Dental onlays to add strength while preserving healthy tooth structure
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth
- Dentures for more extensive tooth replacement needs
Each treatment is recommended based on your individual dental health, functional needs, and smile goals.
