Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
Our Boynton Beach, FL dental office offers cosmetic dentistry services for those looking to improve their smile. Some of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer include:
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed directly into the jawbone. On top of this screw, a crown is placed to replace the missing tooth. It also restores function and appearance instantly.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses tooth movement to straighten teeth and create a beautiful-looking smile you love.
When your teeth are discolored or stained, our cosmetic dentist can use teeth whitening products to help you achieve your desired whiteness.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
This dental bonding is used to help the natural teeth naturally blend with these fillings. They can be used on short or small teeth or for older amalgam silver fillings.
Veneers
These extremely thin porcelain pieces are bonded to the front of the teeth. They are custom-made for each patient according to dimensions, contour, shape, and color. They can be used to treat small teeth, spaces between teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, gaps, discoloration, or rotated teeth, to name a few instances. We also offer lumineers, an even thinner veneer type, which allows more of the existing tooth structure to remain intact.
Ultimately, a cosmetic dentist will use a combination of different procedures to create each patient’s ideal smile. Before the process begins, a Smile Design will be created to help you achieve your dream smile.
