COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Cosmetic Dentistry

At Mechanicsville Family Dentistry, we love helping our patients achieve their best smiles. One of our superstar services is cosmetic dentistry, which can brighten, even, and make your smile sparkle. If you’ve been thinking about whitening your teeth or getting veneers, you’ve come to the right place.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance of your smile. Unlike general dentistry, which primarily focuses on oral health, cosmetic dentistry improves the aesthetic appeal of your teeth and gums.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments utilize safe and effective whitening agents to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth, leaving you with a brighter smile.

Bonding, Shaping, and Contouring dentistry

Bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. Shaping and contouring, on the other hand, involves reshaping the enamel to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite material that are custom-fitted and bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They effectively conceal imperfections such as chips, gaps, and stains, giving you a flawless smile.

Invisalign & Clear Aligners

Invisalign and clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional braces. These custom-made aligners gradually shift your teeth into alignment, providing you with a straighter smile.

Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically implanted into the bone to replace missing teeth. They provide a strong and stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring the appearance and function of your smile.

Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are tooth-shaped coverings that are placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns can also be used to cover dental implants or anchor bridges in place.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your appointment at Mechanicsville Family Dentistry, Dr. Allison Tran and our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health and discuss your smile goals and concerns. We will then recommend the most suitable treatment options based on your individual needs and preferences.

Once a treatment plan is established, we will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring that you are fully informed and comfortable throughout your journey to a confident smile.
