Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry in Fairfax, VA, prioritizes improving the physical aesthetics of your teeth. It is an excellent option for those with chipped teeth or cracks. It involves closing or reducing the appearance of gaps between the teeth, removing discoloration or stains, and improving misaligned or misshapen teeth.
Everybody with healthy teeth and gums is eligible for any cosmetic treatment for their teeth. However, those with dental health issues may need to address dental problems before undergoing any cosmetic treatments.
Your average insurance plan does not often cover these cosmetic dentistry procedures because they are more expensive and not deemed “necessary” for your health. They also require commitment, as some procedures are irreversible and may need to be redone every few years.
The recovery period of all cosmetic surgeries depends on the type of procedure you choose to go with. Procedures like dental bonding can allow you to resume your normal activities as soon as you’re done. However, surgeries like gum contouring may require you to take a few days off from work.
People who consume soft drinks and foods that are dark in color for a prolonged time may find stains on their teeth. Getting your teeth whitened professionally can significantly impact and change your smile.
At Smile Design of Northern Virginia, we offer in-office and at-home teeth whitening in Fairfax VA. Your comfort is our priority.
Dental bonding in Fairfax, VA, is carried out using a tooth-colored resin, usually for the concealment of cracks, stained teeth, and any other imperfection in your teeth. It can even change the shape of your teeth and give them a more natural or uniform look, making your smile look perfect.
The process can be reversed later because it does not require the removal of your teeth’s natural enamel, and the resin must be replaced about every five years.
Porcelain veneers are thin, sturdy shells attached to the external surfaces of your teeth. Much like dental bonding, veneers can hide the imperfections in your smile, such as chipped teeth, cracks, or stains.
Depending on the kind of porcelain veneers in Fairfax, VA, they may be reversible, but in some cases, enamel removal is required. In that case, you won’t be able to reverse the procedure. Most of the time, veneers can last about ten years before they need to be replaced.
Tooth contouring is a procedure that calls for removing small amounts of enamel to reshape your teeth. Because the teeth only have so much enamel, there’s a limit to how much can be taken off. Our top-rated restorative dentistry in Fairfax, VA, can complete this procedure within a single visit.
Some people may have extra tissue in their gums. This can cause your smile to seem gummier and appear more unbalanced. But gum contouring can solve that.
Gum contouring happens when a dentist removes any excess tissue around your gums to give your gums a new shape. This makes your smile more in line and symmetrical.
