If you have ever looked in the mirror and been dismayed to see discolored, crooked, cracked, chipped, or mispositioned teeth that negatively affect your confidence, Dorothy Paul DDS’ cosmetic dentistry services are designed with you in mind. Our goal is to provide high-quality oral healthcare while equipping our patients with beautiful smiles that exude self-confidence.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services
In addition to providing general dentistry services such as regular teeth cleanings, x-rays, and fillings, our practice also offers a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services to help our patients achieve optimal oral health and an aesthetically pleasing smile they can be proud of.
At Dorothy Paul DDS, we have found that the most successful cosmetic dentistry procedures are the result of expertly trained staff and top of the line dental technology. With this in mind, we are proud to partner with a dental lab that meticulously produces strong, high-quality, natural looking components for our cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Some of the cosmetic dentistry services we provide include:
Crowns/Bridges:
Patients with cracked, weak, misshaped, or discolored teeth often benefit from getting a crown. We will take an impression of the area where the crown will go before sending it to the lab. Our lab provides strong, customized porcelain crowns with shade matching that are then bonded into place over the patient’s tooth. These crowns are designed to last and be indiscernible.
Full Mouth Reconstruction:
This procedure is generally only offered to individuals with an abnormal tooth and gum structure. A full mouth reconstruction typically involves the use of dental implements such as fillings, veneers, crowns, dental implants, or even dental bridges and usually requires multiple visits. The benefits of a full mouth reconstruction may provide pain relief associated with the patient’s previous oral cavity structure and a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Veneers:
A veneer may help to mask a discolored or slightly abnormal physical appearance of a tooth. We offer both composite and porcelain veneers. Our composite veneers are made from a composite resin, a material often used in creating natural looking tooth fillings. The porcelain veneers made by our dental lab are beautiful and high-strength, and with custom shade matching they are almost undetectable.
Implants:
For a patient that is missing a tooth, a dental implant may be recommended to restore their smile. A dental implant has three main components: an implant, an abutment, and a crown. The implant is typically a screw that attaches to the jawbone and becomes an artificial root for the tooth. The abutment holds the new tooth in place. The crown is a natural looking faux tooth that matches a patient’s other teeth in color, which creates uniformity in the smile.
Whitening/Bleaching:
Stained, dull, or discolored teeth are a common complaint among patients, especially those that indulge in caffeine and tobacco frequently. Our practice is pleased to offer teeth whitening services. This procedure is done by applying chemically activated whitening gel directly to the teeth. The process takes approximately an hour, and most patients see a visible change before leaving our office.
Dentures:
Individuals that are missing several teeth may look to dentures to make their smile more complete. Our office can customize partial or full dentures for a patient’s exact needs. Our dentures are flexible and do not contain metal for an added measure of wearable comfort.
