Cosmetic Dental Concerns We Treat
Your smile is an extension of your personality, and cosmetic issues with your teeth or gums can hold you back from sharing it — whether that's on a date, in social situations, or in a job interview where first impressions matter. Whatever concern you're facing, Dr. Adler can put together a personalized plan to address it.
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth are some of the most noticeable dental issues when you smile, often the result of an injury or biting down on something hard. Two treatments commonly address this: dental bonding, a low-cost, single-visit repair using a natural-looking composite resin that preserves most of the healthy tooth; and porcelain veneers, a natural-looking, stain-resistant, and long-lasting shell bonded to the front of the tooth. Within veneers, Lumineers® are a thinner, no-prep or low-prep option that preserves more of the natural tooth enamel — Dr. Adler can help determine which type is the better fit for your situation. Our post on what porcelain veneers can and can't fix walks through the trade-offs in more detail.
Crooked Teeth
Nearly everyone has some degree of crooked teeth, and today there are options beyond traditional wire braces. Invisalign® clear aligners have become one of the most popular choices for older teens and adults, using a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into place. Invisalign treatment is available at our practice and is currently offered at a competitive flat rate. If you'd prefer the appearance of straight teeth without the time commitment of orthodontic treatment, porcelain veneers can create that look, though they don't actually move the teeth themselves. Not every case of crooked teeth needs full orthodontic treatment — our post on smile makeovers for crooked teeth covers when a lighter-touch option might be enough.
Missing Teeth
A missing tooth affects more than your smile's appearance — over time it can also affect the health of your jaw and neighboring teeth. Depending on your situation, Dr. Adler may evaluate you for a dental implant and refer you to a trusted specialist for placement, or recommend a dental bridge or dentures as an alternative. He'll walk you through which option best fits your needs during a consultation.
Gaps in Teeth
Gaps between teeth are common and aren't a health concern on their own, though they can leave some people self-conscious about smiling. They can form for a few reasons: teeth that are naturally smaller than the space available, gum tissue that grows between the front teeth, prolonged thumb-sucking or pacifier use past around age four, or a habit of pushing the tongue against the teeth over time. Depending on the size and cause of the gap, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or Invisalign can each be effective solutions — Dr. Adler can help determine which fits your specific gap best.
Stained or Discolored Teeth
Staining and discoloration can come from diet, aging, or other factors. Dr. Adler offers the Zoom!® teeth whitening system, which typically brightens teeth by an average of eight shades with minimal sensitivity — a professional treatment like this tends to outperform over-the-counter options, is applied in about an hour, and produces long-lasting results. Our post on when you'll see whitening results and how long they last covers what to expect from the process.
Gummy Smile
A gummy smile — where the gums are more prominent relative to the teeth — is a common source of self-consciousness. Using advanced laser gum recontouring, Dr. Adler can reshape the gumline with a minimally-invasive technique that requires no incisions or sutures, causes minimal bleeding since the laser cauterizes as it works, and heals quickly. If you're nervous about the procedure, our post on whether gum recontouring is painful addresses some common misconceptions.
Financing Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is more affordable today than it once was, and more involved treatment plans can be financed through a variety of lending companies that work specifically with dental practices — ask us about financing options if you're interested.
