Improve Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and overall smile. While traditional dentistry primarily addresses oral health issues like cavities and gum disease, cosmetic dentistry at Dental Center of Scottsdale enhances aesthetics by correcting discoloration, misalignment, chips, gaps, and other imperfections for patients in Mesa and Scottsdale, AZ.
Dental Bonding
This procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin to repair chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth. Bonding is a quick and cost-effective cosmetic solution. The resin is carefully shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, making it virtually undetectable. It is an excellent option for minor cosmetic concerns and can usually be completed in a single visit.
Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as caps, cover damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their shape, strength, and appearance. They are custom-made to blend seamlessly with natural teeth and provide long-lasting protection. Crowns are typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. They help reinforce weakened teeth and can be an essential solution for teeth that have undergone significant decay, fractures, or root canal treatment.
Teeth Whitening
Dr. Jonathan Kalika performs professional whitening to remove stains and brighten teeth by several shades, offering a more youthful and radiant smile. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional treatments use stronger bleaching agents that provide more effective and longer-lasting results. Teeth whitening can be performed in-office for immediate effects or through take-home kits that allow gradual whitening over time.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells placed over the front surface of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, and gaps. They provide a long-lasting and natural-looking enhancement. Veneers are custom-made to fit each patient’s smile, ensuring a flawless and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The procedure typically requires minimal tooth preparation, making it a less invasive alternative to crowns. Veneers are resistant to staining, which helps maintain a bright smile for years with proper care.
Gum Contouring
This procedure reshapes the gum line to create a more balanced smile. It is especially beneficial for individuals with excessive gum tissue or an uneven gum line. Gum contouring can be performed using laser technology or traditional surgical techniques, depending on the patient’s needs. The procedure enhances the proportions of the teeth and gums, providing a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile.
