Cosmetic Dentistry

Your smile represents you in every social interaction, big and small. Make sure that you’re confident in your grin so that you can share it freely and love the way smiling feels. Being comfortable with your smile could mean a professional advantage, or a new friend. Don’t discount the power of your teeth! Cosmetic dentistry has many forms – from the low-commitment process of home teeth whitening to a full-fledged smile makeover. If you’re not happy with your smile, we’ll help you determine which cosmetic treatment could be the solution.

Cosmetic Dental Procedures with Drake Dental

Teeth Whitening

In spite of our best efforts, our teeth naturally gain stains over time. Daily habits like drinking coffee or wine, smoking and enjoying highly pigmented foods have an impact on our smiles. Because enamel is porous, it takes on particles from these foods and drinks and our grins become dim. Whitening offers a concerted way to brighten your teeth and get back to a dazzling smile. We offer Zoom! Whitening to deliver superior, safe results. This procedure combines a whitening gel with a low intensity light that activates the gel’s bleaching properties. The end result is a smile that is up to 6-10 shades lighter, with just one hour-long treatment. Learn more about teeth whitening, or get in touch with any questions. We’re more than happy to walk you through the process before your appointment!

Dental Bonding

Looking for a same-day procedure to upgrade your smile? Dental bonding could deliver the changes you’re seeking. This simple treatment is completed chairside, with patients leaving the office with their aesthetic changes in place. Patients may be able to use dental bonding to change tooth color, change tooth shape, add symmetry to their smiles, fill gaps between front teeth, and more. Learn more on our dental bonding page, or contact our team to schedule a bonding consultation.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are v-shaped pieces of porcelain that fit over your natural teeth. These cosmetic restorations can transform your smile and change it in a wide variety of ways. Veneers are ideal for patients seeking a more dramatic smile makeover. The porcelain material looks and feels natural, and blends with your other teeth. The veneers process takes several appointments and is more involved than bonding, but less so than receiving crowns. Learn more on our porcelain veneers page, or get in touch to arrange a consultation and discuss your veneer options.

Porcelain Crowns

Crowns are also referred to as caps, and fit over natural teeth to add structure after significant decay or injury, or to transform a smile’s appearance while maintaining each tooth’s integrity. The porcelain material allows the crowns to look like a natural part of your smile. The crown will encompass your natural tooth to protect and preserve it. The natural teeth are prepared before crown placement so that the crown will fit and the bite will not be disrupted. Learn more on our porcelain crowns page, or contact our team to discuss whether crowns might be appropriate for your smile. If you’ve ever spent time hiding your smile, you owe it to yourself to explore your cosmetic options. Reach out today and we will be able to provide personalized guidance that takes your budget, goals, and oral health into account. We look forward to helping you smile with confidence!
