What Cosmetic Services Are Available?
Cosmetic dentistry services at Texas Dental cover a full suite of treatments to repair stains, chips, gaps, and misalignment. Our goal is to correct imperfections while putting you at ease with compassionate care.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. This treatment effectively fixes uneven spacing, chips, and deep stains that do not respond to whitening.
Placing veneers is a straightforward procedure that dramatically transforms the smile line. Our doctors customize each veneer to match the natural translucency of your teeth.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that removes stains and discoloration to brighten your smile. Our office offers both in-office bleaching for immediate results and custom take-home trays for convenience.
A dazzling smile can often be achieved in just one appointment, followed by a few days of at-home maintenance. Custom trays ensure the bleaching gel stays in contact with your teeth for optimal results.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners. This method offers a discreet alternative to metal braces with quicker treatment times and easier cleaning.
State-of-the-art tools at our facility allow us to plan your tooth movements precisely. Straightening teeth with Invisalign improves both the look of your smile and your long-term gum health.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth that look and function like natural teeth. Our team uses 3D imaging to place premium titanium implants with precision.
Custom porcelain crowns top the implants to restore your smile seamlessly. Single-tooth replacement or full-mouth restoration options are available depending on your needs.
How Does Technology Improve Cosmetic Results?
Cosmetic dental technology ensures accurate planning and faster treatment times. Texas Dental utilizes advanced systems like CEREC and E4D to deliver high-quality restorations.
CEREC Same-Day Restorations
CEREC is a digital scanner and milling system that allows us to design and create crowns in a single visit. This technology captures detailed digital impressions without the need for messy molds.
Same-day crowns mean you leave our office with a permanent, perfectly fitted restoration. Efficiency is maximized as we design, mill, and place the crown while you wait.
E4D Dentist® System
The E4D system is a CAD/CAM technology that crafts restorations from strong, high-quality ceramic. Digital laser cameras capture extremely precise images of your tooth from multiple angles.
Customization of shape, size, and color is handled via software to ensure a perfect blend with your natural teeth. Single-visit dentistry is made possible by this ability to manufacture veneers and bridges on-site.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic procedures to restore aesthetics. Common issues addressed include:
-
Gaps between teeth.
-
Crooked or misaligned teeth.
-
Stained or discolored enamel.
-
Gummy smiles or uneven gum lines.
Your smile consultation involves discussing your budget, health, and goals. Advanced imaging helps us create a tailored plan that may include Invisalign, whitening, or veneers, depending on your unique needs.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Frequently asked questions about cosmetic care cover costs, providers, and procedures.
How much is cosmetic dental care?
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies widely based on the complexity of the case and the treatments chosen. Insurance typically does not cover elective procedures like veneers, meaning out-of-pocket costs depend on the specific plan developed for you.
What is the difference between a dentist and a cosmetic dentist?
A general dentist focuses on preventive care and oral health maintenance. A cosmetic dentist has additional training in aesthetic procedures to improve the smile’s appearance, though they often perform general dentistry as well.
Are veneers considered cosmetic dentistry?
Yes, veneers are a primary example of cosmetic dentistry. Their main purpose is to enhance the look of teeth by changing color, shape, or size, rather than treating disease.
Do cosmetic dentists fill cavities?
Cosmetic dentists do fill cavities, typically using tooth-colored composite resins instead of metal amalgam. Aesthetic fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth while restoring function.
