The Amazing Results of Cosmetic Dental Treatments

Crowns, veneers, braces, whitening, bridges—these are the tools of cosmetic dentistry. While teeth may grow in crooked (or suffer damage from an accident), a professional cosmetic dentist can mend them into a perfect smile. Dentists’ treatments close gaps, correct teeth’s appearance, and allow everyone to enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile. Best of all, these services are available to folks in and around Crozet, VA, through Hillcrest Dental.

Below, we describe the wonderful outcomes of effective cosmetic dental treatments:

Correct Teeth Gaps and Chips with Dental Bonding

Without years of study and daily practice, you must consult a professional to determine which cosmetic dental treatments you need. One option we may suggest is dental bonding, also known as teeth bonding. During this procedure, a dentist applies a tooth-colored resin material to the affected area that, when dry, bonds to the tooth. Cosmetic dentists use dental bonding to repair cracked and chipped teeth as well as close the gaps between teeth.

Adjust Teeth Color and Shape with Veneers

A more substantial, but still conservative, approach to broken teeth is to apply veneers. Thin, tooth-colored shells made of porcelain or resin, veneers attach to the front of teeth to improve their shape and/or color. Although considered less invasive than crowns, veneers are still a semi-permanent solution that remain in place for years.

Correct Appearance with Crowns

A more aggressive approach to correcting decayed teeth, dental crowns are “caps” applied on top of the affected tooth. Crowns are made from metal, porcelain, resin, or ceramic. They last between 5 and 15 years and require no special treatment beyond ordinary dental hygiene. To make space for one, a dentist must file down to the original tooth. But once in place, a tooth-colored crown cannot be distinguished from its natural counterparts.

Align Crooked Teeth with Invisible Braces/Orthodontics

Hillcrest’s cosmetic dentists can adjust misaligned teeth and bites with our invisible braces partner, Six Month Smiles. Whereas traditional metal braces are conspicuous and awkward, invisible braces cannot be seen on teeth. These transparent molds gradually adjust the position of teeth over time, each new set moving teeth closer to their optimal position. Even if you grew up with misaligned teeth, you can get a straight smile with invisible braces!

Refresh Teeth with Whitening Treatment

Even if you brush and floss daily, you may still worry that your teeth aren’t quite as bright and shining as they once were. Nevertheless, professional teeth whitening—or bleaching—can restore your teeth’s luster. Many over-the-counter products claim to whiten teeth, but only professionals can deliver excellent results.

Replace Teeth with Implants, Dentures, or Bridges

Several factors—including dental trauma, decay, gum disease, and more—cause people to lose teeth every year. Once gone, those teeth cannot grow back. But cosmetic dentists can replace lost teeth with implants, dentures, or bridges. 

Implants replace the lost tooth roots with titanium, the foundation for an artificial one. Complete and partial dentures replace teeth and the tissue that surrounds them. Finally, bridges replace teeth using crowns on either side of the gap.
