What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is the area of dentistry that improves the overall aesthetic or appearance of one’s teeth, gums, or bite.

Common cosmetic dentistry treatment options include professional whitening, bonding, veneers, contouring, composite fillings, and orthodontics (braces and Invisalign). Typically, these procedures don’t just affect the appearance of your smile; they also positively affect your dental health.

Cosmetic dental procedures can help you feel more confident and look your best.

Simply put: A great smile can have a considerable effect on your lifestyle.

Our cosmetic dentists have specialized knowledge and experience providing dental aesthetic treatments to patients. We have enhanced thousands of smiles, which have given patients a newfound sense of confidence and joy.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Fixes

Cosmetic dentistry enhances your teeth and gums, leading to a more perfect smile.

A cosmetic dentist can achieve amazing smile results by addressing teeth color, shape, and alignment, and contour gums. There are several issues that affect your smile and appearance which cosmetic dental treatments can fix.

The most common issues cosmetic dental services address include:

Discolored Teeth – Treatments like teeth whitening and veneers can add brilliance to your smile; they can create consistency, whether addressing one tooth or several at a time.

Crooked or Misaligned Teeth – Crooked teeth can affect your bite and prevent a smile from looking its best; cosmetic treatments like Invisalign and braces can realign teeth to improve their appearance and function.

Missing Teeth – A missing tooth can make you feel self-conscious and not wanting to smile; we can fix this through treatments like implants, bridges, and dentures.

Tooth Gaps – If a gap in your smile is stopping you from looking and feeling your best then you’ll be delighted with dental bonding; this treatment fills in large gaps, making your smile more filled out.

Fractured Teeth – Combining dentistry techniques that save the tooth and restores its beauty, we can transform your smile and oral health during one visit; veneers are a wonderful, transformative cosmetic option.

Receding Gums – Gums may pull back from the teeth and cause a ‘toothy’ smile; gum grafting and contouring can bring them back down to look more even and aesthetically pleasing.

Cosmetic dentistry delivers the best outcomes when a good smile becomes great. We’ll discuss options and see if you’re an ideal candidate during your consultation.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Options

We provide many ways to achieve a perfect smile through the cosmetic dental treatments that we offer patients:

Invisalign

Invisalign is the easiest and most convenient way to straighten your teeth.

What is Invisalign?

Using a series of removable custom aligners, your teeth slowly move into their desired position. Invisalign can be used to treat a wide variety of cases, and can even cut orthodontic treatment times in half for some patients!

Benefits of Invisalign

One of the most popular reasons that many of our patients choose Invisalign over traditional braces is that it’s a treatment option that fits easily into anyone’s lifestyle. Whether you are a teacher, a business professional, or a professional athlete, Invisalign is a great way for you to get the smile you have always desired.

Invisalign Timeline

Our practice offers complimentary Invisalign consultations. At your Invisalign consultation, you will actually see your predicted results so that you know just what Invisalign can do for you.

A River Run Dental Diamond+ Invisalign provider will take digital impressions with our iTero digital scanner. These impressions are sent off to the lab to be specially crafted to your smile and teeth straightening goals. You’ll receive your Invisalign clear aligners within a few days to begin.

Throughout the Invisalign journey, you will visit our office a few times, where we will assess your progress and make micro adjustments as needed.

Invisalign Cost

We offer flexible payment options to fund your teeth straightening with Invisalign. Consult with our team to learn about these options or explore pay-as-you-go service options like Sunbit.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening adds brilliance to your teeth, usually through bleach agents or a light/laser. Results are faster than at-home kits because of the strength of the solution and the cutting-edge tools. It’s an affordable way to get a pearly-white, eye-catching smile!

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Teeth can become stained for various reasons, including smoking, eating certain foods, drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, or having poor oral hygiene. Teeth bleaching can instantly enhance the appearance of a stained smile.

The Teeth Whitening Process

At River Run Dental, we utilize the GLO Professional Whitening System.

We love this system because it’s customized to reduce the sensitivity frequently associated with professional whitening.

A gel is applied to the teeth along with lip balm to protect soft tissue. We then use a closed-mouthpiece and gentle blue LED to accelerate the whitening process. The LED light and heat activate the peroxide to create lasting results.

A single in-office procedure can whiten your teeth up to 8 shades!

In addition to the in-office procedure, you will also receive a series of professional whitening vials that you can take with you to use for future touch-ups. If you don’t need something quite as dramatic, or if you just want to touch up your smile, our practice does offer several other teeth whitening options.

Make sure to ask about these at your next dental appointment!

Veneers

Veneers offer an affordable way to get a smile that dazzles.

What are Veneers?

A veneer is simply a layer of material that is adhered over the tooth to improve the appearance of the tooth or to protect it from damage. A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth in which the veneer is placed over; these create a more uniform look but can also be customized to your specifics for shape, color, and fit.

Benefits of Veneers

Veneers can remedy discolored, cracked, crooked, or broken teeth.

They are an effective solution to improve a smile by addressing imperfections. If maintained, they can last many years (often 10 to 15 years or more). Veneers are natural-looking and feel just like a regular tooth; your oral hygiene routine can remain the same, too!

The Veneers Process

After performing a thorough dental exam, our cosmetic dentists may recommend veneers as a treatment option to help you achieve your desired results.

The process of getting veneers typically requires several dental appointments. The first appointment involves a consultation and exam. The second appointment is when the tooth is prepped for the veneer. The final appointment is when the veneer is bonded to the existing tooth structure. And like that – you will have a fantastic, pearly-white smile!

Cosmetic Teeth Bonding

Chipped, broken, discolored, or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance improved with dental bonding.

What is Dental Bonding

Tooth bonding involves the placement of a natural-looking material onto the surface of a tooth, where it is then sculpted into shape, contoured, and hardened with high-intensity light. The result is a restoration that blends invisibly with the remainder of the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of your natural teeth to create a healthy, bright smile.

Without even realizing it, many patients have received a dental treatment involving dental bonding: either direct composite bonding or adhesive bonding of a restoration that was created in a laboratory or in-office.

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is relatively quick and simple procedure that blends composite resin on teeth and shaped to improve cosmetic appeal.

Bonding is an effective way to fix tooth gaps, uneven teeth, chipped teeth, and more. It’s a bit like a filling, except a more detailed solution that’s used to fix a tooth’s appearance.

The Dental Bonding Process

Your dentist will gently roughen the surface of a tooth, which provides grip for the bonding material. The composite resin is applied and molded to give it the desired look. A light is then used to harden and cure the material. Finally, the surface is polished and touched up to ensure it matches the natural look and feel of your teeth.

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is more than a single treatment.

It’s a personalized plan that helps you achieve your dream smile!

We get to know you and what you’d like to achieve with your smile during a consultation. This is your chance to ask questions, share your thoughts, and cover any concerns. Your dentist will then get a complete snapshot of your mouth to outline a comprehensive dental plan.

Your smile makeover may involve several treatments and visits to our office.

We address whatever you’re unhappy about with your smile. The end result is a transformative experience that delivers you a smile that you can’t stop smiling about!
