What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry includes aesthetic dental procedures that improve the look and function of an imperfect smile. The Family Dental Group uses the latest advances in dental technologies and treatments to achieve the beautiful smile you deserve.

Who benefits from cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of permanent teeth that are:

  • Chipped
  • Cracked
  • Broken
  • Discolored
  • Gapped
  • Crowded
  • Decaying
  • Too small
  • Misshapen
  • Missing
  • Crooked
  • Misaligned

If your teeth are damaged, or in an advanced state of decay, your dentist will first suggest tooth extraction before replacing the affected tooth with a crown or bridge.

Which cosmetic dentistry choices are best for me?

The Family Dental Group team determines which cosmetic dentistry choices are best after discussing your symptoms, dental history, desired results, and treatment preferences. They examine your mouth and take dental X-rays before developing a personalized treatment plan.

Which cosmetic dentistry treatments are available?

Family Dental Group offers many cosmetic dentistry treatments, including:

Invisalign®

Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to improve the look of crooked or misaligned teeth.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening uses a whitening gel, tooth trays, and sometimes a special light to dramatically whiten your teeth after just one treatment.

Crowns

Crowns are dental caps that look just like your natural teeth. They fit over the surface of an existing tooth or replace missing permanent teeth by connecting to an artificial tooth root.

Bridges

Bridges can replace one or several missing permanent teeth.

Veneers

Dental veneers fit over the front surface of your teeth to improve the way they look, feel, and function.

Dental bonding

Dental bonding uses toothlike materials to repair minor tooth damage and make an imperfect smile beautiful.

Dental implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that your dentist inserts into your jawbone to anchor crowns, bridges, and dentures.

Dentures

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace several missing permanent teeth, filling in the empty gaps and making your smile beautiful.

Laser dentistry

Laser dental treatments reduce decay, complete minor surgical procedures, and improve the contours of your gums.
