Cosmetic Dental Treatments

If you want to redesign, correct, or enhance the aesthetic of your smile, talk to Dr. Butts about cosmetic dentistry treatments. Cosmetic dentistry improves the visual appearance of your smile and focuses on the aesthetic rather than the therapeutic value of treatment.

A cosmetic procedure intends to improve the visual appeal of a healthy smile. Dr. Butts will recommend therapeutic treatment before cosmetics if you have dental health issues. Discuss your dental health and cosmetic goals during your initial consultation with Dr. Butts. Together you will determine the best treatment plan to achieve the smile of your dreams. The options for cosmetic dental treatments include:

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a restorative and cosmetic treatment to fix cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. The dental bonding treatment is an alternative to dental veneers in mending damage and correcting discoloration on the surface of your teeth.

How it Works

A tooth bond is a composite dental resin that Dr. Butts uses to repair and fill in cracks, gaps, chips, and other damage to teeth. It also serves to correct visual dental asymmetry in your smile by lengthening teeth that are shorter than surrounding teeth. After the resin solidifies, it features the same color as your natural teeth. Even though the primary purpose of dental bonding is cosmetic, it also helps correct malocclusion and safeguards the health of your neighboring teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are a versatile and straightforward cosmetic treatment to improve your smile’s color, shape, and aesthetic. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that protect and cover the surfaces of your teeth. And veneers feature restorative and preventative dental benefits for patients with weak tooth enamel.

How it Works

Veneers are one of the cosmetic treatments Dr. Butts uses to change and enhance your teeth’s color, shape, size, and length. A dental veneer is as thin as a strand of hair and the same color as your natural teeth. Dr. Butts bonds the veneer to the visible surface of your tooth to cover cracks, correct discoloration, improve the length, and close gaps between teeth.

Inlays and Onlays

When teeth form cavities, the biting surface of the tooth creates a depression that has an unattractive appearance and poses an immediate dental health risk. Inlays and Onlays are restorative and cosmetic treatments to fill and repair damaged areas of teeth. An inlay or onlay is necessary to restore and protect the biting surface of teeth. 

How it Works

Onlays are a more substantial dental restoration that extends over a tooth’s cusp and the surface. Inlays fill the area inside a tooth but do not extend over the tooth’s cusp. Onlay restorations extend only to above the gumline, unlike an artificial crown, which extends below the gumline.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment to enhance the brilliance and brightness of your smile. The fastest, simplest, and most popular way to improve the aesthetic of your smile is a professional teeth whitening treatment. Professional teeth whitening is safe and effective in as little as one treatment. And you can whiten your teeth without disrupting your lifestyle and daily routine.

How it Works

The teeth whitening treatment begins with an initial consultation to take dental impressions of your mouth. You will wear the clear splints for a few hours a day while the bleaching agent goes to work, removing surface stains and discoloration. You can come back in as little as one day to pick up your custom teeth splints and bleaching agent. Many patients prefer undergoing professional teeth whitening before pursuing further cosmetic dental treatments.
