Why You Should Choose Our Cosmetic Dental Office
Cosmetic dental treatment is an art and science. As dentists, we understand human anatomy and facial structure. In dental school, we learned how to combine aesthetics and oral health. When we provide cosmetic treatment, we ensure that we balance the appearance of your teeth and gums with the rest of your face.
Our team helps personalize cosmetic care to your needs. Before starting cosmetic treatment, we’ll do a smile assessment to learn about your goals and what matters most to you. During this assessment, we’ll talk about what you like about your smile and what you’d like to change. This helps us create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, so you can feel confident and happy with your results.
We can straighten crooked teeth, brighten tooth stains, close tooth gaps, and cover damaged teeth with cosmetic care. If you have specific concerns but are unsure which treatment is right for you, we’re here to help.
Cosmetic Dentistry in Garland, TX
Our cosmetic dental treatments enhance smile aesthetics and oral health. If you do not need general or restorative care and are in good oral health, we will recommend care based on your specific goals. Common cosmetic treatments that we offer include:
Invisalign
Dr. Giang is your local Garland, TX, Invisalign provider. Using this convenient, discreet, clear aligner system, he can help you achieve a beautiful new smile. Invisalign uses clear, comfortable, and removable aligners that offer easy cleaning.
Treatment with Invisalign takes less time than braces treatment. Invisalign can also straighten teeth after previous treatment with traditional braces, a condition often called orthodontic relapse.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are shell-like treatments that cover one or more teeth in the smile line. Porcelain veneers are made of translucent, tooth-like porcelain customized to match the natural contour of your teeth. We will prepare teeth for veneers to ensure the treated teeth look as natural as possible. Tooth preparation will also ensure that the teeth will not look or feel bulky.
Dental Bonding
Like dental veneers, tooth bonding treatment can cover and protect teeth. However, dental bonding is best for patients with smaller areas of tooth damage. Bonding is also a quicker, more affordable option. We can cover tooth chips, cracks, and stains with bonding materials.
Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored material to cover tooth damage. We color-match this bonding material so treated teeth can blend in with the rest of the smile.
Teeth Whitening
Are you tired of tooth stains? Professional teeth whitening offers more effective care than over-the-counter treatments. When whitening is overseen by a professional, you can notice a marked difference in your smile.
Professional whitening treatment can brighten teeth by multiple shades. Teeth whitening is a great option for patients attending events, including weddings and graduations, because professional treatment provides immediate results.
Don’t worry if you have deep tooth stains. We can recommend bonding or veneers for single teeth or all of the teeth in the smile zone.
How to Maintain Your Smile
After you complete cosmetic care, you want to ensure your smile stays healthy and beautiful. We recommend that you:
Brush and Floss Daily
A good oral hygiene routine can help keep your teeth bright and healthy. Continue to brush and floss twice a day. Floss before brushing, and then brush using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid brushing your teeth too hard or using hard-bristled brushes.
Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks
Acidic and dark foods and beverages can stain your white teeth. Following veneers, bonding, or teeth whitening treatment, avoid foods and drinks that can dye or damage your teeth.
Get Touch-Up Treatment
If you get treatments like teeth whitening, we welcome you to get touch-ups. We will often recommend touch-ups every six months or each year to keep your teeth bright. Our office can also provide repairs if you accidentally chip or break treatments like bonding.
Make Regular Dental Visits
You should still visit the dentist twice a year, or every six months, for cleanings and exams. We can help you maintain the look of your bright, straight smile. If you have any questions about how to make your results last, we will be happy to answer them.
What is a Smile Makeover?
If you are unhappy with your smile and have several cosmetic concerns, we will recommend a smile makeover, which uses multiple treatments to renew your smile. A smile makeover can help fix these cosmetic issues:
- Small gaps between teeth
- Tooth stains
- Chipped and cracked teeth
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
- Worn teeth
Before a smile makeover, we will ensure you have good oral health. We recommend pretreatments if you have problems like tooth decay or gum disease. Our dentists will also review your medical conditions and current medications to ensure which treatments are right for you.
A smile makeover aims to improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. During your smile journey, we will find the best treatment combinations to match your goals.
At your initial consultation, we welcome you to discuss what you want to improve about your smile. Then, we will examine your smile and recommend treatments that fit your needs. After this meeting, we will create your personalized treatment plan.
Smile makeovers often use two or more cosmetic treatments to transform your smile completely. While treatment can take months to complete, this time is worth it for lasting, beautiful results.
The Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Because cosmetic treatments are elective, insurance may only cover part of the care. However, we are in-network with United Healthcare, Delta Dental, Cigna, and other major insurance companies. Our office also accepts CareCredit. CareCredit helps keep cosmetic dentistry within your budget with payment plans.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Discover more about cosmetic dentistry in our Garland, TX dental office with answers to these patient questions:
Am I a candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
You might be a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry if you want to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. This can include fixing things like stains, chips, gaps, or crooked teeth. A dentist will evaluate your oral health to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic treatments.
If you’re in good health and have realistic goals for your smile, cosmetic dentistry could be a great option for you. The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation with your dentist to discuss your options.
Should I get veneers or bonding?
Whether you should get veneers or bonding depends on your needs and what you’re looking to fix. Veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your teeth and are great for making big changes to the appearance of your smile, like fixing chips, stains, or gaps. They last longer but are more expensive.
Bonding is a quicker and less expensive option that can fix smaller issues, like minor chips or stains. We will help you decide which treatment best suits your smile based on your goals and budget.
Can cosmetic dental treatments change the appearance of my gums?
Yes, treatments like veneers or crowns can help create a more balanced and attractive smile. Covering excess gum tissue with these treatments can improve how your gums and teeth look together. If you’re concerned about your gums, talk to our dentist about the best options for you.
What treatments can fix gaps between teeth?
several treatments can fix gaps between teeth, depending on your needs and preferences. Bonding is a quick and affordable solution. The dentist applies tooth-colored resin to your teeth and shapes it to close the gap. Bonding looks natural and can be completed in one visit.
Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain that cover the front of your teeth. They can close gaps and improve the overall look of your smile. If you have gaps and other alignment issues, Invisalign can move your teeth into the right position.
