What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Understanding Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving your smile, teeth, and gums. It includes a wide range of procedures and treatments that can address discoloration and other issues, such as gaps, chips, and misalignment. Cosmetic dentistry is different from general dentistry, which focuses on oral health and function. It aims to improve the appearance of your smile as well as your overall dental health.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dental Treatment
Cosmetic dentistry has many benefits:
Improved Appearance
Cosmetic procedures can dramatically improve your smile, correcting imperfections and making it more attractive.
Confidence Boosted
An attractive smile can boost your confidence and make you feel more confident in professional or social settings.
Better Oral Health
Many cosmetic procedures can also improve oral health by addressing problems such as misalignment or decay.
Long-Lasting Effects
Modern cosmetic procedures provide long-lasting and durable results. You can enjoy your new smile for years to come.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
AJ Dental Center offers a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments tailored to your needs and goals. Our team of experienced professionals, led by Dr. Mohammed Jabbar, is committed to providing exceptional patient care and achieving the best outcomes possible.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening has become one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures, and with good reason. Teeth can become discolored or stained over time due to factors like aging, smoking, and certain foods and drinks. Our professional teeth-whitening treatments can lighten your smile by several shades.
Teeth Whitening in the Office
In-office teeth bleaching offers dramatic and quick results. During your appointment, our doctor applies a powerful teeth-whitening gel and activates it with a special lamp, breaking down discolorations and stains. The whole process will take about an hour, and you'll leave with a noticeably brighter smile.
Take-Home Kits for Teeth Whitening
We offer take-home kits for those who want to whiten their smiles at their convenience. These kits come with custom-made trays, professional-grade gel, and instructions. Our doctor provides detailed instructions for using the kit. This allows you to achieve gradual but impressive results at home.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your teeth. These veneers are a great option to address a wide range of cosmetic issues, such as chips, cracks, and gaps. Veneers are made of high-quality porcelain, closely resembling your teeth's natural enamel. They provide a durable solution that is also aesthetically pleasing.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can fix minor imperfections like chips, cracks, and gaps. During the procedure, our doctor applies a tooth-colored resin material, shapes it to achieve the desired appearance, and then hardens it with a specially designed light. The result is an attractive, durable, and natural-looking restoration.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a discreet, comfortable option for patients who want a straighter smile but don't want to deal with traditional braces. Invisalign® gradually moves your teeth to the desired position using a series of clear, removable aligners. The aligners can be custom-made for your teeth, and they are almost invisible when worn. This allows you to straighten your smile without drawing attention.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments that can achieve the desired result for patients looking for a complete transformation. Our doctor can help you create a customized treatment plan to address all of your aesthetic concerns. Smile makeovers may include veneers, bonding, Invisalign®, and other cosmetic procedures.
Veneers Process
Three steps are usually involved in the process of getting porcelain veneers:
- Consultation & Planning: During your initial consultation, our specialist examines your teeth and discusses your goals to determine whether veneers are right for you. He may also take impressions or X-rays to plan your treatment.
- Preparation: Our specialist prepares your teeth at the next appointment by removing some enamel. This will ensure that the veneers fit properly. Your teeth impressions will be sent to a dental laboratory where custom veneers are created.
- Bonding: After your veneers have been made, our specialist carefully bonds them to your teeth with a strong dental glue. He will make all necessary adjustments to achieve a natural fit and appearance.
The Invisalign Process
The Invisalign process is comprised of several steps:
- Consultation & Assessment: Our specialist evaluates your teeth during your initial consultation and discusses your goals to determine whether Invisalign® is the best option for you. To create a 3-D model of the teeth, digital impressions and X-rays can be taken.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Our specialist uses the 3D model to create a customized treatment plan that maps out your precise tooth movements. You will be given a set of aligners that you wear for two weeks each before moving on to the next.
- Wearing Aligners: Your aligners will be worn for 20-22 hours daily. You can only remove them to eat, brush, and floss. Your treatment will progress as planned if you have regular check-ups.
- Your New Smile: After your treatment, you'll have a beautiful smile. Our specialist can provide retainers that will help you maintain your results. They also prevent your teeth from shifting back.
