What is cosmetic dentistry? 

Cosmetic dentistry procedures alter your teeth’s shape, color, or alignment to enhance your smile’s appearance and boost your confidence. Some cosmetic procedures also improve teeth and gum health and function.

Shabani Dental offers affordable cosmetic dental options, giving you the best-looking smile. Your dentist explains all of your options and guides you through the process. They also provide photos of patients before and after cosmetic dentistry.

What cosmetic dentistry procedures might benefit me?

Cosmetic dentistry procedures available at Shabani Dental include:

Veneers 

Veneers are thin layers of materials like porcelain that cover damaged or discolored teeth at the front of your mouth. Veneers are perfect for hiding chips, cracks, and stains and improving a tooth’s shape or size.

Gingival contouring with laser

Gingival contouring reshapes your gumline using laser (light) energy. Your dentist can remove excess gum tissue if you have a gummy smile that makes you self-conscious. Or they can restore gum tissue if you have receding gums.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening removes stains from dental enamel. Your dentist fills customized trays with a whitening gel and fits the devices firmly over your teeth. The products they use are more powerful than those you can buy over-the-counter.

Replacement white fillings

Your dentist can replace old metallic fillings with color-matching ones that blend with your natural tooth color.

Dental bonding

Tiny chips can appear if your tooth edges wear away, or you might scratch a tooth’s surface. Your dentist fixes chips and scratches with a color-matching bonding material and polishes it to make your tooth look perfect.

Customized crowns

If you have a severely damaged tooth or undergo a root canal procedure, filling or bonding may not be sufficient. Instead, your dentist prepares a customized dental crown: a cap that fits permanently over the tooth and matches the surrounding teeth.

Invisalign®

You use Invisalign clear aligners instead of braces to straighten crooked teeth. 

Can cosmetic dentistry help if I lose teeth?

Shabani Dental’s experienced cosmetic dentists offer several options for missing teeth. Replacing a missing tooth improves the look and health of your smile. Your dentist can make a fixed bridge to hold one or more replacement teeth in place, or they can insert a dental implant and create a custom restoration to replace a missing tooth.

Dental implants are metal posts set into your jawbone. They offer a permanent replacement for a lost tooth root. Depending on how many teeth you are missing, you could have dentures to replace multiple teeth or a full-size dental crown that looks exactly like your natural teeth.

You can also have a smile makeover by combining several cosmetic dentistry treatments for optimal results.
