Porcelain Veneers
In just a few appointments, you can have a beautiful, natural-looking smile with the help of porcelain veneers. Veneers are beneficial in fixing a variety of dental problems such as gaps, stained teeth, and chipped or crooked teeth. Porcelain veneers are created out of a ceramic material and designed to match your natural tooth color, or create a whiter, more stunning smile. Veneers are also quite popular because they are highly resistant to staining and are long-lasting.
Teeth are minimally reshaped for preparation of a veneer, and a mold is taken of the teeth. In a separate appointment, Dr. Moreau will affix the thin veneers to your front teeth with a strong bonding agent for a dramatically beautiful improvement.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
In the past, dental restorations like crowns and fillings were made out of a metal compound that was highly noticeable. Not only did these force patients to choose between maintaining good oral health and altering the look of their smile, but the metals found in the material also caused other issues, such as dental discoloration and tooth sensitivity. At MoreSMILES Dental, we craft our restorations from beautiful, natural-looking materials that are durable and can be custom-shaded to match the color of your natural enamel.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
If you’re struggling with relatively minor dental flaws, cosmetic bonding is a quick, painless, and cost-effective solution that could create the appealing change you’re looking for. During this procedure, one of our dentists at MoreSMILES Dental will apply the naturally shaded composite resin material and carefully sculpt it into a pleasing addition that repairs the tooth’s appearance – that’s all there is to it. Cosmetic bonding may be recommended in cases of minor tooth chips, small gaps between teeth, or severe stains that can’t be corrected with regular teeth whitening methods.
ZOOM!® Teeth Whitening
Statistics show that many people are self-conscious about the color of their teeth. Aging and environmental factors can change the color of your enamel over time, no matter how much you brush and floss. Even drinking coffee, tea, or wine can have a dulling effect on your once-pearly whites. Many patients come to us with a desire to whiten their teeth after discovering that popular over-the-counter methods don't provide the results they desire.
Depending on your unique discoloration and previous dental work, we can recommend a personalized tooth whitening treatment plan sure to give you dramatically brighter teeth. Some of the options we offer are ZOOM! whitening, Sheer White strips, and Opalescence whitening gel and custom trays.
With ZOOM!, it’s possible, in just an hour, to improve your smile by several shades with the proven, safe bleaching gel and light combination. At MoreSMILES Dental, we have performed thousands of in-office tooth whitening procedures and offer take-home treatments as well.
Gum Recontouring
If your teeth appear overly short or uneven, it could be the fault of your gum line. Thankfully, excessive gum tissue can be precisely removed and contoured by our Covington area dentists with the help of the state-of-the-art WaterLase soft tissue laser. It can expose healthy tooth structure to create a much more pleasing overall appearance. In addition to cosmetic benefits, gum contouring/crown lengthening may also be recommended in certain restorative situations, such as when a tooth needs to be covered with a custom dental crown.
BOTOX/ Juvéderm
Dermal Fillers
To enhance your smile and create a full-face improvement, we offer adjunctive services to erase the signs of aging and provide fuller lips. Our team is experienced at administering injections in isolated facial tissues and muscles, and no one is more adept at facial anatomy than a well-trained dentist.
BOTOX is both convenient and efficient at our dental office. Juvéderm fillers are also available to help plump your lips for better definition and fullness surrounding your smile. Fine lines and deep creases can be improved considerably, and the results last for months.
Smile Assessment
Maybe there’s just something about your smile that bothers you, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Here are a few questions to get you thinking. After answering them, call and reserve a Personal Smile Analysis Consult. A small deposit may apply but will be credited to your Comprehensive Exam if you proceed with treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
A beautiful, confident smile is possible with the help of your cosmetic dentist in Covington at MoreSMILES Dental Spa. However, cosmetic dentistry is a big investment. It’s normal to have a few concerns before you’re ready to move forward. Your dentist will explain everything during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect on the road ahead. You can also contact our office to speak with a member of our dental team or take a look below for the answers to the most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
You don’t have to be rich to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry. There are more treatment options than ever before, so there’s a solution to fit your budget. We also offer various financial solutions to keep a picture-perfect smile affordable, like a monthly payment plan with CareCredit.
Which Cosmetic Procedure is Right for Me?
There are multiple options to address common aesthetic concerns. After examining your mouth and learning more about your goals, your dentist will discuss which procedures are right for you, like:
- Porcelain Veneers: Bonding veneers to the teeth that show when you smile can correct many imperfections at once, like stains, chips, and gaps.
- Metal-Free Dental Crowns: All-ceramic materials are used to create natural-looking restorations that blend in with your real teeth.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: A composite resin is shaded to the color of enamel to fix minor imperfections, like decay and chips.
- Teeth Whitening: Age-related and surface stains can be treated with a professional whitening system.
- Gum Recontouring: A soft tissue laser sculpts the gum line to make your teeth look shapely and proportionate.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
You don’t have to spend a painful day in the dentist’s chair to turn the smile of your dreams into reality. Depending on your treatment plan, your dentist can administer a local numbing agent. You may feel some pressure or unusual sensations, but you will not experience any outright pain. Some procedures can cause temporary tenderness after the effects of any numbing medications wear off. You can manage it with an OTC pain reliever and eat soft foods. Your dentist will review any additional aftercare instructions before you go home.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
Every procedure has a different lifespan and many factors will affect the duration of your results. You can get the most from your investment by committing to good oral hygiene. Besides brushing and flossing, visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. Avoid anything that may damage your teeth, like chewing on your fingernails. Limit your consumption of sugars and starches and moderate hard and chewy foods.
