What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that improve the appearance of teeth, gums, and bites. While traditional dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and treating diseases or injuries, cosmetic dentistry is elective and aimed at enhancing aesthetics. Cosmetic dental treatments may involve reshaping, resizing, recoloring, or replacing teeth, and correcting bite issues or gum irregularities.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry offers numerous benefits beyond the obvious improvement in appearance. Here are some of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry in Houston, TX:

  • Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem
  • Enhances oral hygiene and overall health
  • Improves speech and chewing ability
  • Corrects bite issues and jaw pain
  • Prevents further dental damage or decay
  • Provides long-lasting and predictable results

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

Here are some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments at our Houston, TX, dental practice:

Smile Makeover

Our cosmetic dentists in Houston offer smile makeovers, which are combinations of cosmetic treatments chosen based on the needs of the individual. For patients who want to eliminate more than one type of flaw, a smile makeover offers an efficient, integrated treatment plan resulting in a completely rejuvenated smile. 

Depending on the patient’s goals, this may take a few or several visits. At a consultation with your prosthodontist in Houston, TX, you can learn more about our cosmetic treatments and the possibilities they offer.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is a simple and affordable way to brighten stained or discolored teeth. Houston dentists offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening options, depending on the patient’s needs and lifestyle. 

  • In-office teeth whitening typically involves applying a high-concentration bleaching gel to the teeth and activating it with a special light or laser. 
  • At-home teeth whitening involves using custom-made trays filled with a lower-concentration bleaching gel for several days or weeks.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the teeth’s front surface to improve their shape, size, color, or alignment. Dental veneers are a versatile and durable solution for many cosmetic dental issues, such as chipped, cracked, misshapen, or spaced teeth. Our Houston cosmetic dentists use digital imaging and 3D modeling to create custom veneers that blend seamlessly with natural teeth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. They’re made of a composite resin material that can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible. Dental fillings can be used to repair cavities, chipped or cracked teeth, and other minor dental issues. They’re also more conservative than metal fillings, as they require less removal of healthy tooth structure.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can not only affect the appearance of your smile but also cause functional problems such as difficulty chewing and speaking. Fortunately, there are several options for replacing missing teeth, including:

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible surface of a damaged or decayed tooth. They can also be used to support a dental bridge or cover a dental implant. Dental crowns can be made of various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, that are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges can improve the appearance of your smile, restore your ability to chew and speak properly and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking option for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that’s surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root and a custom-made dental crown that’s attached to the post. Dental implants provide a strong and stable foundation for a single tooth or a full arch of teeth, and can also help preserve the integrity of the jawbone and surrounding teeth.

How much is a Smile Makeover?

The cost of a smile makeover depends on the type of treatment you are interested in. Dentists offer different treatments for a smile makeover, such as a single tooth replacement or even a full mouth restoration with all-on-four implants. If you’re interested in a more permanent intervention, the best choice will be dental implants, which start at $3,600 and can go as high as $50,000 if you wish to do a full smile makeover. Dentists can also offer veneers for patients who have always wanted a Hollywood smile.

How much are dental veneers in Houston?

They are one of the nine ADA-recognized dental specialties.
