Cosmetic dentistry continues to be popular as it allows patients to change their smile drastically. Imperfections and damage can be disguised or addressed with cosmetic dentistry procedures by Philadelphia, PA area dentist Dr. A.
Some of the most common restorative services offered by Dental Arts Group:
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can be restored with dental implants. This titanium root replacement is used to replace one or more teeth, and can be used to retain full cosmetic dentures.
Bridges
For patients who are not good candidates for dental implants, dental bridges may be a viable solution. Bridges are porcelain restorations made from a false tooth and two crowns that are fused together and bonded over adjacent teeth.
Crowns
Crowns, also known as “caps,” are porcelain covers that are made to protect natural teeth. They are bonded over teeth or are made to work with dental implants with an abutment to replace missing teeth.
Teeth Whitening
One fast and dramatic way to improve the smile is with teeth whitening. Bleaching the teeth can whiten the smile up to eight shades!
Orthodontics
Straightening the teeth not only transforms the smile’s appearance but also assist in maintaining a healthier mouth. When teeth are straightened, fewer crevices are available for food and plaque to develop, making it easier for patients to avoid the progression of periodontal disease.
Veneers
These porcelain restorations are custom-made for patients to bond to natural teeth and disguise imperfections of the smile. They can cover teeth that are broken, discolored, or misaligned.
Dental Bonding
Composite bonding can be used to cover problem areas as an alternative to porcelain veneers. This material is like clay, which is applied to a tooth, shaped, solidified, and polished to blend in with the natural appearance of the teeth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When tooth decay develops, many patients may have received silver amalgam fillings in the past. However, they are unsightly and can negatively affect the smile. Using tooth-colored fillings, the team at Dental Arts Group can restore the health of the smile while maintaining its beauty!
