We’re proud to offer our patients cosmetic dentistry. With this full array of treatment options, we can improve the beauty of your smile so you can feel more confident again. In fact, for some we can even makeover your smile! In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry and how we can offer stunning results, so you can always feel confident in your smile.

Beginning with a Cosmetic Consultation

Ready for cosmetic dentistry? Then schedule a consultation. Even if you assume your smile is too far gone, we can offer treatments designed to reshape teeth, mask imperfections, and help you enjoy optimal results, often in as little as one to two visits. We will ask you about your smile and the results you hope to see. We then take a detailed examination of your smile, so we can accurately assess the cause and extent of your smile imperfections. With a plan and personalized treatments, we can help you obtain stunning results and smile with confidence again.

Teeth Whitening

If you have teeth stains, then you need to see our team about teeth whitening. With these treatments, we can remove stains and brighten your smile, by multiple shades, offering long-lasting and dramatic results. With our in-office procedure, we can brighten teeth in only one visit. With our take home kit, we can take on more stubborn stains and offer teeth up to eight shades brighter.

Bonding and Contouring

With cosmetic dentistry, our team can offer major esthetic improvement in only one visit. With bonding, we use a lifelike composite resin to repair damage, reshape teeth, and fill gaps between teeth. We can even mask teeth stains! With contouring, we sand and buff the teeth to improve issues with the shape and surface, so you enjoy results in only one sitting. We can even complete both in the same appointment!

Porcelain Veneers

What if a single treatment could offer a smile makeover? With porcelain veneers, we can attach a thin dental restoration to the front of a tooth, or several teeth, to instantly change the shape and color. These are custom-made to ensure they look natural and blend with your smile while also providing proper bite balance too. Veneers could mean a major improvement in just two visits, one to prepare teeth and the second to attach the custom restorations.

Gum Contouring

We don’t just use cosmetic dentistry to address concerns with your teeth. If you have a gummy smile, which shows off too much gum tissue when you smile, we can help. With gum contouring, we use an advanced dental laser to gently and comfortably trim away the excess tissues, and in the process, reshape the gum line to ensure proper symmetry. The procedure only takes one visit, and you can return to your normal routine in as little as 24 hours.

Invisalign®

Correcting your uneven smile can improve your oral health and also offer a more attractive smile. But that doesn’t mean that metal braces are your only option. With Invisalign®, our team can craft a series of custom clear aligners, which offer a comfortable way to address misalignment, and in a shorter time frame than braces too! Each set is worn for two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day. They are removable too, so you don’t have to change your diet and brushing and flossing is much simpler too. You can even take them out for special occasions too!

Botox and Dermal Fillers

Did you know that we offer facial treatments as part of our approach to cosmetic dentistry? With Botox and Dermal Fillers, we can inject special medications to help ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and to fill deep lines around your nose and mouth. The effects can last months and we can re-administer as part of your checkup and cleaning visit. In addition to the esthetic benefits, these treatments have been shown to ease the painful symptoms of TMJ disorder and bruxism, offering relief when used in conjunction with a custom oral appliance.
