Cosmetic Dentistry

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry uses cosmetic dentistry services, including resin fillings, veneers, cosmetic crowns, implant crowns, oral restorations, and medical-grade teeth whitening treatments to improve the appearance of your smile. 

Many people consider cosmetic dentistry treatments for aesthetic purposes, but they can also benefit from their medical purposes as well — such as improved oral health.

What are the types of cosmetic dentistry?

At Miracle Smile Dental, Dr. Modi offers several types of cosmetic dentistry, including:

Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over the visible part of your tooth, called the crown. A dental crown rebuilds the shape and size of a damaged or decayed tooth, while also improving its color and overall appearance. 

Bridges

A bridge is an appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. The most common type — a traditional bridge — consists of two crowns with an artificial tooth in the center. The two crowns fit over your surrounding teeth to hold the artificial replacement securely in place. 

A dental bridge can restore a fractured or misshapen tooth.

Braces and Invisalign 

Orthodontics like braces or Invisalign® are special appliances that place mild pressure on your teeth and jaw. Over time, that pressure gradually moves your teeth into the optimal position, improving the look of your teeth and overall smile. 

Veneers

Veneers consist of a thin shell that covers the front portion of your teeth. If you have severely discolored or uneven teeth, veneers can be used to cover imperfections. At Miracle Smile Dental, Dr. Modi offers porcelain and composite resin veneers. 

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is the process of removing stains from your teeth to brighten their color. If your teeth appear yellow, brown, or dull, teeth whitening is a safe, effective solution to restore their natural shade. 

At Miracle Smile Dental, Dr. Modi uses Zoom!® teeth whitening to target extrinsic and intrinsic stains. Zoom! can brighten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single treatment.

Tooth-colored fillings

Tooth-colored fillings, or composite resin, can blend seamlessly with the color and shade of your natural teeth.

Tooth bonding and contouring

Tooth bonding uses composite resin to restore teeth that have become broken, cracked, or chipped, and hide deeply stained or discolored teeth. The bonding material can be tinted and contoured (shaped) to match your surrounding teeth for a completely natural-looking restoration. 

Smile makeover

A smile makeover involves combining cosmetic dentistry procedures to enhance your smile and facial features. Dr. Modi can perform a full mouth reconstruction, restoring the shape, size, color, and alignment of your teeth.
