Veneers
The size, shape, and color of your teeth can easily be transformed with the help of customized dental veneers. Fabricated to hide imperfections, they conceal everything from chips and cracks to discoloration, small gaps, and misaligned teeth. Veneers take two appointments before final results are revealed, and they can last a decade or longer as long as you commit to taking proper care of your new smile. As a reliable and trusted form of cosmetic dentistry treatment, veneers can be the life-changing solution you need to embrace a more beautiful you.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Decayed and damaged teeth don’t have to stick out like a sore thumb, even when treated. Traditional amalgam will likely be visible to others, whereas metal-free restorations will blend in and be virtually undetectable. Designed and fabricated in-house using our E4D technology, we can secure your new crown, inlay, onlay, or another similar restoration in place in just one day. There’s no need for a temporary or multiple appointments, just a fully enhanced smile in less time.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Unlike other similar cosmetic dentistry solutions (i.e., veneers, metal-free restorations) that require the removal of tooth enamel, cosmetic bonding is a non-invasive solution that is also reversible. Using composite resin that is biocompatible and easy to shape and sculpt, your cosmetic dentist will apply it directly to the tooth enamel and mold it to cover your imperfection. In just one visit, you will no longer see the flawed smile you came in with but instead, one that appears more vibrant and beautiful and can last for years.
Teeth Whitening
Brighter smiles often grab the attention of others. If you want to say goodbye to your tooth stains for good, consider professional teeth whitening. Offering take-home trays, we find that most patients prefer to brighten their smiles on their own time, using customized trays and high-grade bleaching gel at home. Within two weeks, you can expect to see a dramatic change in the shade of your teeth, allowing for a whiter, brighter smile.
Smile Makeovers
Hiding behind others in pictures and refusing to smile are potential reasons why you might consider a smile makeover. Years of drinking coffee, dental accidents, and unhealthy habits can leave you with chipped, stained, cracked, and even broken teeth. But with a skilled team like ours at Flagship Dental Group, we can create a treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic dentistry services so that our approach is streamlined, and you walk away with a fully transformed smile you can be proud to show off.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
How Do I Choose a Cosmetic Dentist?
If you’re interested in enhancing the size, shape, or shade of your teeth, you might be wondering, “Where do I start?” The first step is finding a cosmetic dentist who is experienced, has an eye for detail, and genuinely cares about making your dream smile a reality. Of course, that’s easier said than done. You can always start by asking friends, neighbors, and family members for their recommendations. Or, you can type “cosmetic dentist near me” into Google. A list of nearby providers will be given to you, and you can start the research process from there! Fortunately, most websites have a doctor’s bio, which allows you to read over their background and training.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Hands down, one of the most-asked questions about any dental treatment is, “Will it hurt?” Don’t worry – our Longmeadow dental team will do everything we can to ensure the entire smile transformation process is as smooth, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. That starts with numbing your mouth during the procedure (if needed) and extends to providing you with detailed aftercare instructions to avoid things like bonding sensitivity. Simply put, you shouldn’t hesitate to move forward with the cosmetic dental care you desire. It will be well worth it!
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
Since teeth whitening typically lasts for several months and veneers can last for over a decade, the treatment you choose will play a significant role in the longevity of your results. Another factor is how well you care for your smile. For example, if you adopt unhealthy habits, like smoking, the risk of stains, chips, and other imperfections resurfacing is high. If, on the other hand, you brush consistently, get a dental checkup and cleaning semi-annually, and keep your consumption of added sugar to a minimum, your results should last significantly longer.
How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Change Your Life?
Did you know that cosmetic dentistry has the potential to positively impact your confidence, your professional success, and your love life? It’s true! In fact, studies have shown that job applicants who underwent a teeth whitening treatment prior to their interview were more likely to get an offer. Furthermore, research has found that your smile is one of the first features others notice about you, making it key to making a good first impression on a date or when meeting with a potential future employer!
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is rarely ever medically necessary, so “need” is a strong word. That said, you should strongly consider scheduling a consultation with us if you’re not happy with the smile you see in the mirror or in photos. That way, we can learn about your aesthetic goals, determine the state of your oral health, and see what your treatment options are!
