Cosmetic Dentistry Does More Than Improve Teeth

September 28, 2015 – – Silver Spring, Maryland — Cosmetic dentistry is on the rise, but many wonder exactly it is and what it consists of. There are many procedures that fall under cosmetic dentistry, and they can sometimes help the function of teeth, but the majority of it improves the appearance. Almost anyone is a great candidate for cosmetic dentistry. No case is too severe or too unusual for Dana Keith, DDS at the Silver Spring dental office in Maryland. While cosmetic dentistry improves appearance, it also results in greater self-confidence.

A smile is one of the first features noticed when making a first impression. Whether it’s getting ready for an important event, finally ready to do something about a less than perfect smile, or just repairing teeth after an accident, Dr. Keith will make a custom designed plan for each case to ensure the best possible results. Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about fixing teeth; it is also a science and an art. His goal is to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance while maintaining functionality which is vital to fixing any kind of cosmetic dental issue.

The methods Dr. Keith uses to maintain, enhance, and restore a smile include:

Porcelain Veneers – These are custom made porcelain shells that cover the front and sides of teeth. This process improves teeth that have large gaps, permanently stained, misshaped, chipped, cracked, or worn down overtime.

Zoom! Whitening – An in office whitening system that uses hydrogen peroxide and a chair side lamp to reverse discoloration that happens over time from tobacco, medications, or foods and beverages that stain like soda and coffee. The process takes about an hour.

Invisalign – This is one of the types of cosmetic dentistry that improves functionality and health of teeth. It consists of invisible and comfortable clear removable teeth aligners that won’t restrict diet but still work like braces.

Bonding – A resin paste is used to fill in or reshape teeth. It is typically used to for small repairs to cracks, cavities, chips, broken teeth, or large gaps. It also protects teeth roots after gums recede. It typically takes less than an hour.

Implants – Dental implants are replacements for missing teeth that are fully functional and indistinguishable from real teeth. Implants are quickly becoming popular because of how reliable and convenient they are.

Smile Makeovers – This make over addresses any issues that are seen during a smile and the best option to increasing confidence.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation – This method of restoration can fix every single issue from a missing tooth and whitening to just about anything.

Cosmetic dentistry has become more and more affordable. Dr. Keith offers many financial options and the staff will work with insurance companies as well as provide payment plan options with no annual fees, and no upfront costs.

Many people put off dental care because of anxiety. Sedation dentistry relaxes patients to a sleep-like state that allows more procedures to be done without pain or a gag reflex. Dr. Keith is one of the few dentists that is trained and qualified to use sedation dentistry.
