While cosmetic dentistry treatments are primarily geared towards enhancing or revitalizing the look of your smile, they can frequently improve oral health as well – including better chewing ability and a lower risk for gum disease.
We offer a variety of cosmetic options at Fairfax Dentist. Some of the hottest treatments include:
Professional Teeth Whitening
Officing Bleaching: Powerful bleach gels that are applied to your teeth in a controlled environment. As agents activate, they release oxygen ions that penetrate the teeth to lift stains and make your smile shine by several shades in no time without damaging tooth structure.
Dental Veneers
Commonly referred to as, dental veneers these ultra-thin tailor-made coverings are designed from either premium porcelain or composite. They are adhered onto the front surface of teeth to hide defects such as intrinsic discoloration, small fractures, or uneven borderlines providing you with a perfect smile.
Composite Bonding
This method involves use of a shade-matching resin composite to close interproximal gaps, restore carious lesions or change tooth color. It's a particularly effective way to repair chipped or broken teeth and provides a conservative, same-day result.
Porcelain Crowns
Another term for dental crowns, these restorations cover compromised teeth to restore strength, shape and color in situations involving heavy wear, cracking, or de-saturation. One by one, the crowns are specially made to match all your teeth.
Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontic attention may be at crookedness, crowding or occlusal anomaly. At Fairfax Dentist, we offer traditional metal or ceramic braces as well as Invisalign® invisible braces—a state-of-the-art system with clear, removable trays that are an ideal option for discreet tooth straightening and bite realignment.
Many smile defects are correctable in different ways. For example, a chipped front tooth can be repaired through composite bonding, full-coverage porcelain crown or ultra-thin veneers, depending on the severity of damage and your needs.
Once the best course is established, the dentist at Fairfax Dentist will perform a comprehensive oral exam with digital X-rays and impressions to help assess tooth health and appearance, along teeth, gum tissue and underlying bone.
Based on this analysis, we’ll present you with a few viable options, and talk about the possible results; reassure any concern for either discomfort or longevity; and suggest the best option: be it a quick veneer placement, an extensive orthodontic treatment plan or a combination smile makeover plan.
