Cosmetic Dentistry Q & A

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry uses special tools and treatment techniques to enhance the appearance of your smile. Though most cosmetic dental treatments are elective, some provide the added benefit of improved oral health. 

For example, by replacing missing teeth with dental implants, you can reduce the risk of bone loss, gum recession, and gum disease.

What are the types of cosmetic dentistry?

At Tysons Laser Center Dentistry, Dr. Popli and the team offer several types of cosmetic dentistry, including:

Dental bonding

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair minor tooth damage, like chips and cracks. The bonding material reflects light in the same way as your natural tooth enamel, ensuring it blends in with your smile.

Veneers

Veneers are paper-thin shells of porcelain that Dr. Popli bonds to your natural teeth. They cover cosmetic issues that won’t respond to other types of treatment, like severely stained, pointy, or smaller-than-average teeth.

Crowns

A dental crown is a synthetic cap bonded to a damaged or severely decaying tooth. It covers the entire portion of enamel above your gum line, restoring your tooth to its near-original strength, size, and shape.

Teeth whitening

If you use tobacco, drink coffee, or take medication with tetracycline, Dr. Popli might recommend teeth whitening. Teeth whitening uses medical-grade solutions to eliminate stains from the surface of your teeth. The team offers several types of teeth whitening, including Philips Zoom! and custom take-home whitening trays.

Dental implants

Dental implants replace your permanent teeth. These synthetic tooth roots made of titanium provide a base for dental restorations like crowns, a fixed bridge, or snap-on dentures. Dental implants integrate with your natural bone structure, so they often last a lifetime.

Invisalign®

Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses clear, plastic aligners to properly straighten your teeth and jaw. Invisalign provides stunning results and takes less time* than traditional metal braces. What’s more, the aligners are removable, so you can continue to eat your favorite snacks.

Do I qualify for cosmetic dentistry?

Anyone who is unhappy with the aesthetic appearance of their teeth or smile qualifies for cosmetic dentistry. 

The treatment that will benefit you most depends on your age, dental health history, and budget. Following an oral exam and a comprehensive discussion, Dr. Popli and the team can design a care plan that aligns with your needs.
