At Maplewood Dental Associates, we offer a wide range of services, from general dentistry to dental implants. Cosmetic dentistry can make a big difference if you’re unhappy with your smile.
Before starting any cosmetic treatment, our team conducts a thorough dental examination to ensure no underlying issues. Once we confirm your oral health, we can begin enhancing your smile!
Cosmetic dentistry includes various procedures aimed at improving the appearance of your smile. While many view these treatments as optional, they can also provide restorative benefits. At Maplewood Dental Associates, we offer several cosmetic treatments:
Cosmetic bonding is an excellent alternative to metal fillings and can fill gaps between teeth. Our dentists apply a tooth-colored resin to your teeth, then harden it with ultraviolet light. Finally, they trim and polish it to improve your smile.
Dental crowns, or ” caps,” cover damaged or decayed teeth above the gum line. They restore the tooth’s shape and strength and can improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. We also offer CEREC Same-Day Crowns so you can get your crown in one visit.
Bridges are perfect for replacing missing teeth. They consist of two crowns on healthy teeth anchoring artificial teeth in the gap, enhancing your smile.
Implants replace lost or damaged teeth with an artificial root and tooth system. We insert a titanium screw into your jaw as a support, then attach a crown to it. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, making them a popular choice.
Inlays and onlays, known as “indirect fillings,” protect traditional fillings and crowns. We use inlays for small cavities and onlays when there is significant decay, including the cusps of the tooth.
Veneers are a popular option for fixing crooked teeth or noticeable gaps. We create custom porcelain caps that match your existing teeth and apply them to the front of each tooth for a natural look.
Removable dentures can replace an entire arch of missing teeth or just a few. They help fill gaps, giving you a complete smile and boosting your confidence.
Teeth can stain over time due to aging, coffee, wine, or certain foods. Our in-office teeth whitening produces excellent results. First, we clean your teeth, then apply a bleaching agent to achieve a lighter shade.
Tooth-colored fillings not only protect against cavities but also improve the appearance of teeth. These fillings blend with the surrounding teeth, providing an even, healthy smile.
