Veneers
If you’re looking for a great way to fix a number of aesthetic problems with your smile, consider veneers. They are a good choice for people who have multiple problems with their smile, including crooked teeth, chips, gaps, cracks, or stains. They can act as “instant orthodontics” to make mildly crooked teeth appear straight, erase the look of gaps, improve the color, and make chipped teeth appear whole again.
We will place these thin restorations over the front of your teeth to change the appearance of your smile. Our veneers are crafted for you at dental labs where talented professionals closely follow our specifications, which are based on your desires for your smile. In just two visits, you can have a whole new smile from Windermere Dentistry. Dr. McKissock has done thousands of veneers and has a vast library of before and after cases that he would love to show you.
Metal-Free Restorations
When you have a damaged, decayed, or missing tooth that’s in need of restorative care, you shouldn’t have to worry about your original dental structure being replaced with something that looks wholly unnatural. Thankfully, metal-free restorations can provide the best of both worlds –boosting your oral health and offering seamless aesthetics.
These crowns, inlays, and onlays are crafted from all-ceramic materials that are a precise match for tooth enamel, even reflecting light in a similar fashion. Their biocompatible nature is also an excellent fit for patients who dislike the poor cosmetics of the dark unslightly metals used by dentists in the past, and their structure is surprisingly durable. Our goal is to leave you with a strong, reinvigorated smile that looks just like the one you had before.
Direct Bonding
Using composite resin material, our cosmetic dentists can fix various types of damage to your teeth, including chips and cavities. Tooth-colored fillings provide a solution to dental decay without leaving behind dark spots on your teeth from the use of metal fillings, while cosmetic dental bonding uses the same composite resin material to fill in chips and gaps for a flawless smile.
In-Office & At-Home Teeth Whitening
In about an hour, you can enjoy whiter, brighter teeth for a more beautiful smile. When you come to us for Zoom! in-office teeth whitening treatment, you’ll also be fitted for custom bleaching trays so you can touch up your smile at home. This Ultradent professional-grade at-home solution will help maintain your beautiful smile.
At Windermere Dentistry, we believe in giving you great results that truly satisfy. That’s why we combine your in-office Zoom! whitening with Ultradent at-home whitening. You can use the trays we create just for you to touch up your whitening throughout the year, too. Since the first time we opened our practice doors, we’ve always offered these two teeth whitening services as a combo for one affordable price. We want you to have access to a great smile at a reasonable cost because attractive smiles are powerful tools for better personal and professional relationships and improved self-confidence.
Invisalign
If you suffer from crooked teeth, your smile probably doesn’t give you much joy. In fact, you might not smile much at all. With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth to feel better about your smile, and these clear braces allow you to feel more confident during treatment.
You could opt for traditional metal braces, but Invisalign offers a lot of advantages. For one thing, Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic, making them almost invisible. You won’t have to worry about the look of your smile while you’re straightening with Invisalign. Also, they’re smooth. Metal braces can irritate the insides of your mouth, but smooth clear braces feel comfortable and don’t cause irritation.
With Invisalign, you make fewer trips to our Windermere dental office during treatment. When you wear traditional metal braces, you have to visit the dentist every few weeks to have them tightened or adjusted. With Invisalign, you’re provided with a complete set of aligners, so when it’s time to adjust, you simply start wearing the next in the series!
Gummy Smile Reduction
If your smile appears imbalanced and overly gummy, then gum recontouring, better known as gummy smile reduction, is the perfect, permanent solution for you. Our cosmetic dentists in Windermere are able to artistically and skillfully reshape your smile to reveal more of your dental structure by removing excessively overgrown gum tissue. The best part is that once you get the treatment, you won’t need to come in for touch-ups because the results will be permanent!
Smile Makeovers
If there are several aesthetic imperfections that you would like to address but you’re unsure of where to start, our team can create a customized smile makeover treatment plan for you. This will include two or more of any of our cosmetic or restorative dentistry services and is specially designed to meet your specific goals. Our advanced technology and outstanding service will allow you to sit back and relax until our team has provided you with the smile of your dreams.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
What Exactly Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
At its core, cosmetic dentistry is the dental field that improves a smile’s appearance. It uses a wide range of procedures to make your teeth and gums look much nicer.
You can better grasp cosmetic dentistry through key comparisons. While a general dentist offers preventative care (i.e., dental checkups, teeth cleanings, etc.), a cosmetic dentist seeks to beautify your smile. They’ll perform various treatments – teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and more – that enhance your grin’s good looks. As such, cosmetic dentistry aims to address flaws like smile stains, chips, and cracks.
Given the facts above, cosmetic dentistry isn’t typically covered by insurance. Patients pursue it for the sake of higher confidence or easier socializing; they don’t get it out of medical necessity.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you don’t have full confidence in your grin, you’d likely benefit from cosmetic dentistry. This field’s treatments can address any smile flaw.
For example, say that you dislike your stained enamel. Procedures like teeth whitening, dental bonding, or even porcelain veneers could easily solve the problem. A dentist’s whitener would be especially helpful, as most tooth stains can’t be fixed with over-the-counter products.
Cosmetic dentistry could similarly handle your chipped or cracked teeth. After all, it’s possible to protect a tooth with a veneer, a dental crown, etc. Such restorations would also hide chipped or cracked spots from view.
How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Change Your Life?
In truth, cosmetic dentistry isn’t a frivolous use of funds. It can change your life – for the better – in many ways.
One example is how cosmetic work can improve oral health. As treatment makes your smile look nicer, you’ll feel more motivated to protect it. That motivation can then lead to more regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
Similarly, cosmetic dentistry also enhances mental health. The reason is that having a gorgeous grin prompts you to smile more often, because you’ll want to “show off” your nice teeth. This physical act lowers stress by causing your body to produce endorphins – special “feel-good” brain chemicals.
What Can I Do About My Gummy Smile?
While it may seem untreatable, you actually can fix a gummy smile. You just need to see a cosmetic dentist for one of several potential services.
The most obvious treatment option would be a gummy smile reduction. Through this procedure, a dentist removes excess gum tissue from your mouth. The result is that more of your grin’s enamel becomes visible, ensuring your smile looks balanced and beautiful.
Another idea is to see your cosmetic dentist for dental crowns. When these caps are correctly placed, they can make your teeth appear longer, larger, and more proportionate to your gums. An added perk is that the crowns’ placement is non-invasive; it won’t alter your tooth structure much.
