What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on aesthetics. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance of the smile. Dr. Caves believes that form follows function. Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation as the foundation for any treatment.

During this examination, Dr. Caves will:

  • Check the teeth for signs of wear and decay
  • Screen for oral cancer
  • Evaluate the jaw joints and muscles

For cosmetic dentistry to be successful, he must identify and treat the underlying causes of your cosmetic problems. This will ensure long-lasting results without repeat problems.

New advances in cosmetic dentistry make having a beautiful smile easier than ever. Dr. Caves provides a complete range of cosmetic dental procedures, including:

  • Porcelain Veneers: Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth. We use veneers made of porcelain because it’s strong and natural-looking.
  • Teeth Whitening: We offer professional teeth whitening treatments for patients with deep tooth stains.
  • Dental Implants: Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. We recommend implants to secure single crowns, bridges, or dentures.
  • Dental Crowns: We provide same-day dental crowns with CEREC. With CEREC and CAD/CAM technology, Dr. Caves can take impressions, mill crowns, and place crowns in his office.
  • Dental Bridges: A dental bridge helps close the gap left by one or more consecutive missing teeth. While traditional bridges use natural teeth for support, we prefer dental implants.
  • Cosmetic Dental Fillings: We offer alternatives to metal fillings for patients. White fillings use composite resin to fill teeth with natural-looking materials.
  • Composite Bonding: Dental bonding uses tooth-colored materials to cover discolored and damaged teeth.This quick and affordable treatment benefits patients with minor cosmetic problems.

Do I Need Cosmetic Dentistry As I Age?

Many patients will find that they need cosmetic dental care over time. Multiple factors can contribute to increased cosmetic treatment:

  • Medications: Many medications have side effects that affect the appearance and health of the smile. Dry mouth, tooth stains, and other symptoms may require dental treatment.
  • Medical Conditions: Similarly to medications, conditions like diabetes, affect your oral health and the look of teeth.
  • Injury: Life can be unexpected. If you suddenly injure one or more teeth, you will need treatment to repair your teeth.
  • Dental infection: Sustaining an infection can lead to cavities that damage teeth.
  • Natural wear: Tooth wear is a natural concern patients face over time.

You can experience problems like chipped, cracked, and discolored teeth. Older restorations may also need replacement as they discolor or wear down. We will recommend whitening if you experience

However, if you only have one discolored tooth, we may recommend dental bonding treatment. Bonding uses tooth-colored material to cover one or more teeth. If you have deep tooth stains that do not react to whitening treatment, veneers may be right for you. Veneers can cover all of the teeth that show when smiling.
