If you want the best dentist for transforming and improving your smile, give us a call at (301) 248-8080. We use a variety of procedures to complete a full smile makeover so whether you have a crooked tooth or you do not like your teeth, we can help. Even though you can see an orthodontist for things like straightening teeth, you may find that a cosmetic dentist can provide you with the transformation you are looking for through a much faster process.
When you come in with complaints about your teeth and gums, we will start by examining you to determine if you have any infections or cavities. If you do, we will want to treat these first to ensure that you are in good enough health to proceed. Otherwise, your recovery time will be delayed and these issues will need to be addressed in the future. Next, we will discuss what you do not like and create a plan for correcting it.
Here are some of the procedures we can perform to give you a perfect smile
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is often the best place to start because it will immediately improve the smile. Teeth whitening is the fastest, least invasive and least expensive way to start a transformation. We are the best dentist for whitening teeth because we can make sure that the procedure produces dramatic results in a way that is safe and comfortable.
Dental veneers
If the teeth are damaged in any way, then the individual may want to consider dental veneers. A veneer is a thin shell that we place onto the surface of the teeth to improve their function and appearance. A veneer can close gaps between the teeth, straighten a crooked tooth, change the shape of it and address other cosmetic issues that one may have with teeth.
Dental crowns
If a tooth is more severely damaged or a lot of the enamel is missing, a dental crown can restore and protect the tooth. Nothing will touch the natural tooth when a crown is placed around it. This way, a patient can bite down with confidence and without fear of discomfort. A crown can also achieve the same goals as a veneer, except that it surrounds the teeth like a cap instead of sitting on the front of the tooth.
Dental bridge
If an individual loses a tooth, we can use a dental bridge to replace it. An individual needs to have some existing teeth for the bridge to be affixed to and if so, this is a non-surgical way to correct tooth loss.
Dental implants
We are the best dentist for placing dental implants and permanently replacing lost teeth. In order to place an implant, a titanium post is implanted under the gums and secured to the jawbone. It will essentially replace the lost root system and tooth so that the patient can eat all of his or her favorite foods without worrying about the tooth becoming loose.
