Cosmetic dentistry is a wide-ranging field of dentistry that includes all dental procedures designed to improve the smile. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, but many procedures also boost the usefulness and quality of the teeth, and can even help guard against future tooth decay and gum disease. For October 2018, Savannah Dental Solutions is offering complimentary cosmetic dentistry consultations.

Teeth Whitening

Although over the counter teeth whitening products are readily available, they are not nearly as effective as professional bleaching. Teeth whitening can be performed in the dental office or at home, and it is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures of all. To extend the time between teeth whitening appointments, patients are encouraged to receive two professional cleanings per year and use an at-home touchup kit once or twice per year.

Composite Bonding

A single-appointment, less expensive alternative to porcelain veneers, composite bonding can fix many cosmetic issues with the teeth such as chipping and gapping. The composite resin bonding material is carefully color-matched to the teeth and shaped by hand before being hardened under a specialized curing light.

Porcelain Veneers

Teeth that are healthy but are badly stained, broken, pitted, or worn down can benefit dramatically from porcelain veneers. Strong and durable, these thin shells of color-matched dental porcelain slip over the teeth to create a highly aesthetic smile.

Dental Implants

The gold standard to replace missing or failing teeth, dental implants are firmly attached to the jawbone. They restore virtually all of the original bite strength, allowing patients to eat normally. They also reverse jawbone loss and protect the neighboring teeth. One dental implant can replace one missing tooth, while a handful of implants can support a full arch of strong, functional, highly aesthetic replacement teeth.
