Are you unhappy with your smile? Do you feel self-conscious about smiling around other people? Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. Common cosmetic dental treatments include teeth whitening, dental bonding, Invisalign, and veneers. Cosmetic dentistry services in our Garland, TX, dental office can improve tooth size, shape, and shade.
Receiving cosmetic treatment can also boost your self-confidence in your smile. Cosmetic dental care is a part of the dental services we provide to new and existing patients in Garland, Texas.
Choosing Cornerstone Family Dentistry for Cosmetic Dental Care
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 treatment to your needs. 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 cosmetic 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.
Maintaining Cosmetic Treatment
After you complete cosmetic care, you want to ensure your smile stays healthy and beautiful. Following treatment, we recommend:
- Brushing and Flossing: 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 staining 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.
- Touch-Up Treatment: If you receive treatments like teeth whitening, we welcome you to get touch-ups. We will often recommend touch-ups each year to keep your teeth bright.
- 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.
What is a Smile Makeover?
If you are unhappy with your smile and have several cosmetic concerns, we will recommend a smile makeover. A smile makeover uses multiple cosmetic 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. We will also review your medical conditions and current medications to ensure which cosmetic 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 a smile makeover can take months to complete, this time is worth it for lasting, beautiful results.
Financing Cosmetic Dental Treatment
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 treatment within your budget with payment plans.
