When you have issues with the shape or color of your teeth, then you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Instead of simply hiding your smile from the world, why not seek cosmetic dentistry? With our treatments, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about how our cosmetic dental treatments can offer a healthier and more attractive smile.

Your Initial Cosmetic Consultation

To begin, we want to schedule a consultation with you. During this visit, we will talk to you about your cosmetic concerns. Next, we will examine your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, so we can assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic issues. We then create a treatment plan to address these cosmetic concerns and improve the overall beauty of your smile. Every smile is unique, and with cosmetic dentistry we can offer personalized treatment.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Obviously, teeth whitening is a major part of our approach to cosmetic dentistry. With our in-office treatment, we can brighten smiles by several shades, so you can enjoy results that make you feel confident. The process involves our team applying a protective covering to your lips and gums. We then add a special bleaching gel to the teeth. We then activate the gel with a light, which begins breaking up the stains to offer a much brighter appearance in only one visit. This is great if you need quick results before a wedding, graduation, job interview, or even a first date.

Botox and Dermal Fillers

Did you know we also offer treatments that can provide a more youthful appearance? With Botox, we will inject a special medication to different portions of your face to interrupt signals between your facial muscles. The result is a smoother appearance and reduced visibility for fine lines and wrinkles. The effects last a few months and we can re-administer during your next appointment. Along with improving facial beauty, these can also help ease the tension caused by TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding).

Dermal fillers can also be injected to help fill deep lines around your nose and mouth to offer a more youthful appearance, again with results lasting several months to come.

Porcelain Veneers

What if we had a single treatment option that could offer a smile makeover? With porcelain veneers, we will create a thin restoration that we attach to the front of the teeth. Once in place, they instantly change the appearance of your teeth, masking discoloration, filling gaps between teeth, addressing misshapen teeth, lengthening worn down teeth, and even correcting the appearance of minor misalignment. The porcelain we use is very durable and can handle daily bite forces, but we can also shade it to blend with the rest of your smile. In fact, we could whiten your smile beforehand so the veneers will match your brightest possible smile! The placement process takes only two visits, one to prepare the tooth and design the restoration, and the second to place them with a powerful bonding agent.

Fillings and Crowns

What if you have tooth decay or damaged teeth? Even for restorative issues, we can offer treatment with a cosmetic approach. If you need a filling to treat your cavity, we can use a metal-free one made from composite resin, which can be shaded to blend with your smile. The placement process only takes one visit, so we can stop decay and provide repair that blends with your smile. If you have severe decay or infection, or if a tooth is damaged, we could place a crown. Using materials like ceramic and zirconia, we can ensure your completed crown looks natural and matches the rest of your smile! We want you to enjoy good oral health and better bite function, but also enjoy a lifelike appearance that makes you feel confident.
