Cosmetic Dentistry

What problems does cosmetic dentistry correct?

Many cosmetic concerns are repaired at Smiles in Springfield. Patients often ask the dentists to fix:

• Discolored or stained teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Missing teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Chipped, cracked, or uneven teeth
• Tooth length and proportion

When you schedule a consultation, your dentist talks with you about the problems you’d like to fix, then recommends one or more procedures to reach your goals.

What services do cosmetic dentists offer?

The dentists at Smiles in Springfield offer cosmetic services such as:

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, strong shells that your dentist attaches to the front of your teeth. They can improve many cosmetic problems, including chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and shorter-than-average teeth.

Crowns

Dental crowns go over your existing tooth, where they strengthen damaged teeth and do a great job of covering discolored, misshapen, or chipped teeth. At Smiles in Springfield, CEREC® crowns are done in one office visit.

Bridges

A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It’s made from natural-looking materials that match the rest of your teeth.

Teeth whitening

You’ll get dramatic results in just one hour with Zoom! teeth whitening done in the office. The team at Smiles in Springfield also gives you the option of whitening your teeth at home by providing professional grade whitening agents and customized application trays.

Tooth bonding

Bonding improves your smile in one visit, using composite resin that’s molded over your tooth, then hardened under a light. Bonding can improve the shape of your tooth, while also covering stains, cracks, and chips.

Dental implants

Implants can replace missing teeth or anchor a bridge or dentures.

Gum recontouring

If your smile looks gummy, your dentist at Smiles in Springfield can reshape your gumline by reducing the amount of soft tissue.

Can I get a preview of my new smile?

The dentists at Smiles in Springfield take a digital image of your current smile, then use specialized software to show how different cosmetic treatments will transform your smile. You can take a printed copy of the changes, share it with your family and friends, and get their advice before committing to a cosmetic procedure.
