What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth. The most common cosmetic dentistry procedures are teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers. Dr. Hadjian and her team will take the time to get to know you and help you identify and understand the specific concerns you have with the appearance of your smile so that we can find solutions that work for you.

Differences Between Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

A family dentist is a general dentist who can treat all members of the family. They serve as your primary dental care provider and offer dental exams, preventive dental care, professional teeth cleaning services, treatment of dental cavities and tooth decay, periodontal disease treatment, tooth extractions, and more. A cosmetic dentist offers specialized procedures that enhance the beauty of your smile. Dr. Hadjian is a general and family dentist who can also perform cosmetic dentistry.

When & Why Should You Consider Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

You should consider cosmetic dentistry procedures if concerns about your smile or the appearance of your teeth and/or gums are affecting your confidence or self-esteem. Dr. Hadjian may recommend cosmetic dentistry procedures if you have:

Discolored, stained, or yellow teeth
Gaps between your teeth
Teeth that are pointed, worn down, or misshapen
Chipped, cracked, or damaged teeth
Misaligned teeth

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

It is not always obvious what causes teeth grinding and jaw and teeth clenching. The condition typically develops as a result of many different issues or contributing factors. If you have certain risk factors of bruxism, you might be more likely to develop the condition:

Dental Bonding – If you have small gaps between your teeth or minor cracks or discoloration on your teeth, dental bonding can help. We will use a tooth-colored resin to cover up any cosmetic imperfections and make your teeth look brighter, more uniform, and more even.
Dentures – Dentures can replace a few missing teeth or an entire arch or mouth of missing teeth. They may also be used if we have to remove your teeth due to illness, injury, decay, or disease. Dentures can be removable or fixed. Fixed dentures use dental implants and/or crowns to anchor the dentures to surrounding natural teeth. Fixed dentures are permanent and aren’t removable, and you care for them the way you care for your natural teeth. Non-fixed dentures are removed when you sleep or to clean them.
Dental Implants – Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of a titanium rod surgically implanted into the bone supporting your natural teeth. An abutment is screwed onto the rod, and a custom-created dental prosthetic is attached to the abutment. This prosthetic is crafted to look like your surrounding natural teeth. Dental implants are not removable and should be cared for in the same way you care for your natural teeth.
Cosmetic Dental Surgery – Cosmetic dental surgery procedures can enhance the beauty of your smile and help you reach your beauty goals. Dr. Hadjian and her team of cosmetic dentists offer teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry veneers, dental crowns, dental implants, dental bonding, inlays and onlays, and treatment for a gummy smile.
Invisalign – The Invisalign system uses clear, flexible plastic aligners to straighten teeth gradually. Invisalign can address crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, malocclusion and misalignment, and overcrowding. Treatment can take one to two years and involves switching out your custom aligners every two to four weeks to advance your treatment plan.
Porcelain Fixed Bridges – Porcelain fixed bridges are used to replace multiple missing teeth. We use prosthetic teeth anchored to a metal bridge structure that is connected to your existing natural teeth.
Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening uses a specialized bleaching solution to whiten your teeth in multiple shades. If your teeth are discolored or stained due to age, illness, side effects from medication, or dark-colored food and drink, we can restore them to a bright shade of white.

Combining Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry

In some cases, we may recommend combining restorative dentistry procedures and cosmetic dentistry procedures. Restorative dentistry procedures address oral and dental health issues that go beyond just cosmetic imperfections. For instance, a missing tooth or teeth, severely misaligned teeth, tooth loss, gum disease, receding gums, extensive dental cavities or tooth decay, or other problems that could affect your overall health. We may recommend a combination of dental implants, implant-supported dentures, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, or fixed bridges.
