Cosmetic Dentistry Specialist

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a dental practice that primarily focuses on the aesthetics of your smile. The dentists at Fairfax Corner Dental provide both purely cosmetic procedures, such as veneers, and also consider your appearance during routine dental procedures, like using tooth-colored fillings to maintain your smile’s natural appearance.

The dental experts can make small tweaks to your teeth or provide complete overhauls. They take the following factors about your smile into consideration:

• Teeth alignment
• Consistent coloring
• Symmetry
• Gum line shape

Above all, they consider your dental and overall health before recommending any cosmetic procedures.

What cosmetic procedures can I have done?

The experienced dentists at Fairfax Corner Dental offer the following cosmetic services:

• Teeth Whitening: Remove stains and brighten teeth
• Porcelain Veneers: Cover up imperfections like chipped, crooked, or misshapen teeth
• Crowns: Cover broken teeth, secure bridges, or cover implants
• Composite Fillings: Tooth-colored cavity fillings
• Invisalign® Aligners: Adjust teeth position into proper alignment
• Implants: Replace missing teeth

The team also attends to the appearance of any dental work they do for you. They hone in on everything from the color of your crowns to the naturalness of your dentures. They also provide temporary fixes for dental work whenever you’re in between appointments, so you don’t have to go out in public with gaps or other issues.

What are the advantages of cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry can help restore your sense of pride in your smile. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry reports an association between a good smile and a boost in mood, confidence, and attractiveness.

Even though your appearance is the primary focus of cosmetic dentistry, the practice also restores some of your dental functionality in the process. For example, a veneer to fix a few crooked teeth may prevent debris from continually getting lodged in between them. Similarly, clear aligners like Invisalign improve not only your appearance but your bite and chewing function too.
