Book a consultation for cosmetic dentistry in Denver before it’s too late.
Teeth Whitening
Do you want to be perceived as more attractive, confident, or trustworthy? Then, try whitening your teeth. Surprisingly, some studies suggest that whiter teeth could lead to remarkable success in your career or love life.
Sadly, at-home whitening methods can be time-consuming. Sometimes, the results are underwhelming. Instead of gambling with do-it-yourself methods, consider chairside teeth whitening to:
- Intensely brighten your smile
- Lift mild to moderate topical stains
How does it work?
At our Denver office, we offer two kinds of professional, in-office whitening treatments that can improve your smile in one session:
- Traditional: We combine the power of hydrogen-peroxide-based bleaching agents and special lights to whiten teeth instantly.
- Laser: After carefully placing concentrated bleaching gel on the teeth’s surface, your dentist will then heat the surface with laser light. Theoretically, whitening the teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
When you admire your favorite movie star’s smile, do you turn green with envy? Often, Hollywood’s secret to a bright, straight smile is porcelain veneers. When cosmetic dentists place veneers on the front of the teeth, they instantly can hide insecurities, including:
- Asymmetric or small teeth
- Deep staining that cannot be addressed with teeth whitening
- Interdental spacing
How does it work?
Thankfully, cosmetic dentists can place porcelain veneers in just two visits:
- 1st Visit: At the first visit, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and jaw. If you are healthy enough to support veneers, he or she will:
- Prepare your teeth
- Take an impression
- Place temporaries on your freshly etched teeth.
Afterward, the dentist will send your impressions to a dental lab for fabrication.
- 2nd Visit: When your tailor-made veneers come back from the lab, you will receive a call from the dentist. Next, the dentist fits your veneers over your teeth and will check to see if they match your natural teeth and alignment. When your veneers look perfect, he or she bonds them to the teeth.
Cosmetic Bonding
Are porcelain veneers out of your budget? If so, consider dental bonding as a more conservative, quick, and affordable alternative. Cosmetic dentists apply cosmetic bonding to:
- Fill in gaps between teeth
- Correct minor enamel cracks, chips, or cavities
- Even out intrinsic stains
How does cosmetic bonding work?
In a single visit, cosmetic dentists:
- Gently roughen the enamel
- Apply conditioning fluid and color-matched composite resin to the teeth
- Bond and harden the resin with a special ultraviolet (UV) light
Laser Gum Contouring
Although bright, symmetrical teeth are an essential component of a good-looking smile, one feature is often overlooked: the gums. Unfortunately, excessive gum (gingival) tissue can lead to a “gummy smile.”
Sometimes, gums can appear too low or simply uneven. Thankfully, laser gum contouring is a simple way to correct these imperfections. Dentists reshape and resculpt the gumline with powerful yet minimally invasive laser light.
How does laser gum contouring work?
After consulting with your cosmetic dentist, you could have a new gumline in one to two hours. He or she will:
- Apply local anesthesia to numb the area
- Gently blast away unwanted soft tissue with a laser
