What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?  

Cosmetic dentistry concentrates on enhancing the impression of your teeth and gums. While traditional dentistry prioritizes oral health and treating diseases, cosmetic procedures help create a bright, balanced smile. From teeth whitening to porcelain veneers, these treatments are tailored to meet your individual needs.

Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures  

Explore these common cosmetic treatments to see how they can transform your smile:

Teeth Whitening  

Over time, factors like coffee, wine, and smoking can cause teeth discoloration. Expert teeth whitening provides just and effective results to restore the brightness of your smile.

Porcelain Veneers  

Porcelain veneers are tiny, custom-made covers that cover the front of your teeth. They can correct discoloration, chips, or gaps, creating a flawless smile. This versatile solution is ideal for smile design enthusiasts seeking a dramatic transformation.

Composite Bonding  

If chipped or cracked teeth are affecting your confidence, composite bonding offers an affordable fix. It uses tooth-colored resin to repair imperfections and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings  

Unlike traditional "silver" fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from composite materials that match the natural shade of your teeth. They offer a stable and sensitive solution for cavities or minor restorations.

Invisalign  

Tidy your teeth without the need for conventional braces. Invisalign offers a nearly invisible alternative, correcting alignment issues for a comfortable and confident smile.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cosmetic Dentistry  

Which type of toothbrush should I use?  

We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush, as it’s gentle on your gums and enamel. Pair it with fluoride toothpaste to enhance oral health. Electric toothbrushes can also be an excellent option for consistent and thorough cleaning.

How do I know if I have gum disease?  

Early signs of gum disease include swollen, red, or bleeding gums, bad breath, and sensitivity. Regular cleanings at Somerset Family Dentistry can help prevent and detect gum issues before they progress.

What are porcelain veneers, and how can they enhance my smile?  

Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells crafted to cover imperfections like discoloration, chips, or gaps. They’re one of the most effective ways to enhance the visibility of your teeth, offering a long-lasting solution for a smile design.

Do you offer sedation dentistry?  

Yes, Somerset Dental offers sedation dentistry to ensure every patient feels comfortable during their visit. If dental anxiety has kept you from seeking treatment, we can provide relaxing options to make your experience stress-free.

What is the distinction between silver fillings and white fillings?  

“Silver” fillings are made from amalgam, a durable metal mixture. While effective, they’re more noticeable due to their dark color. On the other hand, “white” fillings are made from composite resin, which blends naturally with your teeth for a discreet and functional solution.
