Cosmetic Dentistry

When you smile, you reflect an inner state of joy and gladness. Have your sparkling white teeth become dull or yellow over the years? Or is there something keeping you from smiling confidently? At Luxe Dental, we provide you with several services that bring back the bright smile you once had.

Some of the restorative procedures we offer at Luxe Dental are:

• Dental Veneers
  Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain or resin that cover the front surface of the teeth. After removing about a half-millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface, these thin shells are bonded (cemented) to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers are often called “Hollywood teeth."
• Dental Bonding and reshaping
  In dental bonding, a tooth-colored, putty-like resin, which is a durable plastic material, is applied to the tooth and hardened with an ultraviolet or laser light. This bonds the material to the tooth. We then trim, shape, and polish it. Bonding can repair decayed, chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth; it is also a good cosmetic alternative to, or replacement for, amalgam or silver fillings.
• Teeth whitening
  Teeth whitening can be one of the simplest and least expensive ways to improve your smile. Teeth can be bleached with in-office products in our office, or you can buy a mold and gels from your dentist to bleach your teeth at home.
• Inlays and Onlays
  Inlays and onlays, also called indirect fillings, are made from gold, porcelain, or composite materials and fill decayed or damaged teeth. Dental fillings are molded into place during a visit to our office and bonded into place. The filling is called an “inlay” when the material is bonded within the center of a tooth; it is called an “onlay” when the filling includes one or more points of the tooth or covers the biting surface. Inlays and onlays preserve as much healthy tooth as possible and are an alternative to crowns.
• Dental Crown
  A dental crown, also known as a cap, fits over and replaces the entire decayed or damaged tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns keep a weak tooth from breaking or hold a cracked tooth together; we use them cosmetically to cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth. Crowns can be made from metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, resin, or ceramic.
