Why Choose Cosmetic Dentistry in Raleigh, NC

Cosmetic dentistry is a popular elective consideration for patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth and gums. Whether you have a slight concern or multiple issues, cosmetic dentistry can help. Below, we've included a few reasons to choose cosmetic dentistry.

Improved Self-Esteem

You feel better about yourself when you love your smile because you're more confident. Confidence helps you socialize and focus on your goals.

Improved Oral Health

Some cosmetic dentistry options also improve oral health. For example, tooth-colored restorations conceal flaws and support at-risk teeth.

Improved Alignment

Dental crowns, veneers, and clear aligners can level your bite, making it easier to chew and digest food. A level bite also reduces tooth wear.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry in Raleigh, NC

Our cosmetic dentists are skilled in providing a wide range of cosmetic dentistry treatments, including:

Composite Bonding

Bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves applying tooth-colored composite resin to teeth to improve or enhance their appearance. Our dentists commonly use bonding to repair chips, cracks, or discoloration, resulting in a natural-looking appearance that blends seamlessly with the shape and shade of surrounding teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain custom-crafted to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. Because they cover the tooth, we use veneers to conceal cosmetic issues such as broken teeth, wide gaps, discoloration, and slight tooth misalignment.

We use the highest-grade porcelain for veneers—E.max—the same material used by master ceramists because of its superior aesthetics and strength. Most veneer placements can be completed in just two visits. 

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. This orthodontic treatment uses custom-made, clear aligner trays to gently nudge your teeth into their desired positions, resulting in a beautifully aligned smile.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments that can significantly brighten your smile for a fresher,  more youthful appearance. With our at-home option, you can expect safe treatment and effective results that leave your teeth several shades whiter.

ICON White Spot Removal

Icon is a minimally invasive dental procedure that removes white spots on teeth. Icon can treat white spots caused by demineralization and remineralization of tooth enamel, which can indicate enamel weakness and potential tooth decay. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, Icon doesn't require drilling, cutting, or anesthetic. It works when a dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to the surface, which soaks into the enamel and fills in the white spots. The resin hardens with a light, and the tooth is polished. Results can last a lifetime, depending on how you take care of your teeth. 

Full Smile Makeovers

If your vision for your smile involves a more comprehensive approach, we offer full smile makeovers. By combining multiple cosmetic dentistry treatments, we can address various dental concerns and create a stunning, harmonious smile that suits your facial features and personality.

Cosmetic Dentistry Technology

Laser Dentistry for Enhanced Patient Comfort

Dental lasers work by emitting a focused beam of light energy controlled by our dentists and used to remove, shape, or modify soft tissues in your mouth. The precision offered allows us to perform treatments with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, promoting faster healing and minimizing discomfort.

How We Use Laser Dentistry

We use dental lasers in a wide variety of applications, including: 

  • Treating gum disease by removing inflamed gum tissue and promoting healthy tissue regrowth
  • Reshaping the gum line for cosmetic purposes or to improve the fit of dental restorations
  • Performing biopsies or removing oral lesions, such as canker sores or fibromas
  • Whitening teeth by activating the bleaching agents in professional teeth whitening treatments
  • Decreasing the severity of snoring with fast, non-invasive treatment that requires no anesthesia.

Patient Benefits: Comfort and Efficiency

Laser dentistry helps reduce pain and swelling, minimize bleeding, and promote faster recovery. Dental lasers are also less invasive than traditional dental tools and often reduce the need for sutures or anesthesia. Laser dental treatments are also generally more efficient, so we can provide a more streamlined experience and reduce your time in the dental chair.
