What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. It’s not just about vanity; it’s about feeling good when you laugh, talk, or pose for photos.
Some of the most popular cosmetic treatments we offer include:
- Teeth Whitening – Brighten your smile several shades with professional-grade solutions.
- Porcelain Veneers – Thin, custom-made shells that cover chips, discoloration, or gaps.
- Tooth-Colored Bonding – A quick fix for small cracks or worn edges.
- Smile Makeovers – A personalized treatment plan combining multiple cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile’s look and balance.
- Invisalign – Invisalign are the clear, medical-grade plastic alternative to traditional metal braces for children, teenagers, and adults. Unlike metal braces, these inconspicuous dental aligners are removable when you need to eat and brush your teeth, and are virtually invisible when worn.a
Each cosmetic procedure is tailored to your goals because no two smiles (or people) are exactly alike.
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
To repair an especially damaged tooth, ordinary care and fillings may not be enough. We offer treatment that will improve both the appearance and function of a tooth. Restorative dentistry is all about bringing back function and structure when your teeth are damaged, decayed, or missing. It goes beyond looks—this type of care protects your oral health and helps you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Our restorative treatments include:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings – Durable and natural-looking solutions for cavities.
- Crowns & Bridges – Crowns and bridges are two effective procedure to help both the appearance and function of the teeth. A crown acts as a shield, effectively strengthening the tooth and its function; whereas, a bridge is often recommended to patients missing one or more teeth, and acts as a bridge, covering space between teeth. Crowns and bridges are permanently cemented to implant posts or existing teeth.
- Dental Implants – Dental implants are seen as the best comprehensive solution to one or several missing teeth. They are a great option for oral health as they offer a foundation for replacement teeth to be placed on. Dental implants offer a myriad of benefits and have been used successfully by over 3 million Americans for more than 30 years. At Gentle Family Dentistry, we offer traditional dental implants as well as All-on-Four implants which can replace all of the teeth on the top or bottom of your mouth using just 4 implants. If you are interested in learning more about dental implants or All-on-Four dental implants, do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
- Dentures – While brushing and flossing are the two most important factors to prevent cavities, we offer dental sealants which protects your teeth from the harmful bacteria that cause cavities. Sealants act as a raincoat, in which they coat your teeth acting as a shield from harmful bacteria. Sealant is a completely painless procedure that only takes a few minutes.
- Bone Augmentation – Also referred to as bone grafting, this procedure is performed when there is not enough bone mass or the bone mass is too soft in a patient’s jaw to allow for a dental implant. A bone augmentation provides a secure area of jaw bone for the dental implant to be installed, thus significantly decreasing the likelihood of the implant becoming dislodged.
We combine form and function, so your restoration feels comfortable, performs well, and looks great.
