What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. For patients who need extra help to look their best, cosmetic dentistry can boost the appearance of your teeth by fixing a variety of issues including misshapen, discolored, or worn-out teeth. Unlike other forms of dentistry, cosmetic procedures are designed to help improve your smile’s appearance without the need for invasive surgery or long recovery periods.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

At Dr. Abbo Advanced Dentistry, our North Miami Beach, FL dentists can solve a variety of issues regarding the appearance of your teeth.

Some of these can include:

  • Stained enamel and dark dentin
  • Fractures along the edges of your teeth
  • Uneven gum tissue that covers your teeth
  • Small cracks on your teeth’s surface
  • Weirdly shaped teeth

Our Cosmetic Dental Procedures

Teeth Whitening

We provide professional teeth whitening to brighten our patients’ smiles in a single appointment. Our teeth naturally begin to discolor as we age and pick up stains from foods, drinks, medications, and habits. Unlike generic store-bought whitening kits, our dentists use a special peroxide gel and in-office laser to brighten your smile by 10 shades. The great thing about our teeth whitening treatment is it’s both simple and effective.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom shells bonded to your teeth’s front surface. Our veneers can be used to cover a variety of dental issues including severely discolored, worn out, chipped, broken, irregularly shaped, and uneven teeth. During this procedure, your dentist will remove a small portion of your enamel to make room for your veneers. While the procedure itself is irreversible, porcelain veneers are as sturdy and reliable as your natural teeth.

Porcelain Inlays

A porcelain inlay is a custom filling made of tooth-colored porcelain. This treatment is fairly popular since the fixtures can be crafted to resemble your natural tooth. Our dentists have porcelain inlays made at a professional dental laboratory and permanently cement them onto your treated tooth. Unlike larger fillings, porcelain inlays require the removal of less of your natural tooth, giving you a beautiful alternative that’ll last for many years.

Porcelain Onlays

Teeth that have been worn out or damaged over time can be restored with porcelain onlays without the need for fillings. Unlike porcelain inlays, onlays, which are referred to as partial dental crowns, cover a larger portion of your tooth’s cusp. A porcelain onlay is custom-made to match the natural shade of your smile, repairing your teeth as well as protecting them from further damage. While cosmetic, onlays can also boost your smile’s durability.

Crown Lengthening

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing — the same goes for your gums. Patients with excess gum tissue may struggle with small-looking teeth, which can be difficult to manage. That’s why our dentists offer crown lengthening to restore more of your tooth. This procedure can improve your oral health by exposing more of your natural tooth structure without risking sensitivity. A crown lengthening is even performed to clean your teeth easier.

Invisalign®

Our dentists offer Invisalign treatment as an alternative to traditional braces. These clear aligners work by gradually moving your teeth into a more proper position. The best part about Invisalign is on top of it being discreet, it can also improve the alignment of your smile in just half the time compared to braces. We often recommend clear aligners for adult patients who don’t want to undergo such an intrusive treatment, but teens can also get them too.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding improves the appearance of your smile by applying a composite resin to a particular tooth. For example, dental bonding is an excellent solution for filling in minor chips or cracks. During the procedure, your dentist will match the composite resin to the natural shade of your enamel to make it blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. This treatment is also a great alternative for patients who want a quick and non-invasive dental experience.

Candidacy for Cosmetic Dentistry

Patients with good oral health respond best to cosmetic dentistry. The main goal of these procedures is to improve the appearance of teeth and gums that are already healthy as well as functioning properly with little to no decay or infection. During your consultation with your North Miami Beach, FL dentist, they’ll evaluate your oral health to determine whether you’re a good candidate for your desired cosmetic procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most cosmetic procedures are painless since they’re non-invasive. Your dentist will also administer a local anesthetic if you request it to ensure you experience little discomfort and feel more at ease. While you may feel some sensitivity after your treatment, this usually subsides on its own and can be managed with an ice pack or pain medication.
The exact cost of cosmetic treatments depends on several factors. This includes which procedure you’ll be undergoing, what dental issues are being corrected, and the current state of your oral health. Our dental team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to help achieve the smile of your dreams while also giving you an accurate cost estimate.
The main goal of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance your smile’s appearance. However, some procedures come with the added benefit of improving the function of your teeth. An example of this is Invisalign aligners, which slowly straighten your teeth, but also improve your bite’s alignment. Repairing your smile with onlays and inlays can also be a great alternative to covering up any sensitive areas as a result of cavities.
Your treatment costs will vary depending on your individual dental needs. While a majority of insurance providers do not cover cosmetic procedures, we strongly recommend contacting your agency to create a particular plan. Dr. Abbo will develop a treatment plan to fit your budget and recommend financing options to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
