While general dentistry encompasses the health of teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the aesthetics of a person’s smile. Whether it is teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, or dental implants, cosmetic dentistry offers solutions to various dental imperfections. 

By correcting misaligned teeth, repairing chipped or cracked teeth, and reshaping uneven teeth, cosmetic dentistry plays a crucial role in boosting self-confidence and improving overall oral health. But which cosmetic procedures are most popular? 

The Most Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures at Brookside Dental Arts in Pennington, NJ

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that focuses on brightening and enhancing the natural color of teeth by removing stains and discoloration, improving tooth enamel, and reshaping smiles.

One of the most common methods for teeth whitening is professional bleaching, where a dentist applies a whitening agent to the teeth and activates it with a special light or laser. This process can effectively lighten the shade of teeth by several levels, providing noticeable results in just one session.

In-office teeth whitening procedures are performed by skilled professionals at Brookside Dental Arts in Pennington, NJ, ensuring effective results while addressing any concerns such as tooth sensitivity.

One of the key advantages of opting for in-office teeth whitening sessions is the expert care provided by experienced dental professionals who specialize in enhancing your smile. Our specialists use advanced techniques and high-quality tools to deliver consistent and impressive results that surpass over-the-counter options.

During these sessions, the treatments are customized to suit your specific needs and desired outcome, ensuring that you achieve the level of whitening that complements your natural teeth color and overall aesthetics.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite materials that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth, transforming smiles by enhancing aesthetics, correcting imperfections, and reshaping tooth contours.

The application process involves initial consultation, tooth preparation, impression-taking, and bonding, all tailored to each individual’s needs and desired outcome.

Once in place, veneers can improve the appearance of chipped, stained, misaligned, or unevenly spaced teeth, providing a long-lasting solution to various cosmetic dental concerns.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a popular choice in restorative dentistry, providing natural-looking and durable solutions for patients looking to enhance their smiles and restore damaged or discolored teeth.

These veneers are custom-made thin shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance and strength. One of the key benefits of porcelain veneers is their longevity, as they can last for 10-15 years with proper care. They offer excellent aesthetic appeal by mimicking the natural translucency and color of teeth, giving patients a beautiful and seamless smile. Functionally, porcelain veneers can also strengthen weak teeth and protect against further damage.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative for smile makeovers, delivering aesthetic improvements and dental corrections at the same time. One of the key advantages of choosing composite veneers is their affordability compared to other cosmetic treatments, making them more broadly accessible. 

The versatility of composite veneers allows for customizable solutions that can address various dental concerns, from discoloration and chipped teeth to gaps and misalignments. The treatment efficacy of composite veneers is noteworthy, providing long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with natural teeth for a beautiful smile. 

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, restoring tooth structure, function, and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth.

One of the main benefits of dental implants is their capability to work together with the jawbone, offering stability and durability unmatched by other tooth replacement options.

• Implants can improve chewing and speech, promoting better oral health by preventing bone loss and preserving surrounding teeth.
• The procedure involves surgically placing the implant in the jawbone, allowing it to fuse over time with the bone.
• Over the long term, dental implants can enhance confidence and self-esteem due to their natural look and feel.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses tooth-colored resin materials to enhance the appearance of teeth, repair cracks, and improve alignment, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for smile enhancement.

One of the key benefits of dental bonding is its versatility in addressing various dental issues. Not only does it help in restoring damaged teeth, but it can also be used for filling cavities, closing gaps between teeth, and even reshaping teeth to create a more uniform smile. This procedure is particularly popular for its ability to provide quick results, often completed in just one visit to the dentist. Additionally, dental bonding is a more affordable alternative to other cosmetic treatments such as veneers or crowns. 

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their appearance, function, and strength, and providing durable solutions for tooth sensitivity and structural issues.

These dental crowns are versatile and can be made from various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. They are expertly crafted to match the color and shape of the natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with the rest of the smile.

The procedure for placing dental crowns involves shaping the tooth, taking impressions, and then fitting the custom-made crown over the prepared tooth. This process not only strengthens the tooth but also enhances its aesthetic appeal.

One of the key benefits of dental crowns is that they protect weak teeth, restore fractured teeth, and support teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. They can improve bite function, prevent decay, and enhance oral health.
