Whether you want to change the appearance of a tooth, strengthen a weak tooth or replace a missing tooth, there's a cosmetic dentistry service or treatment that will help you improve your smile. Your Asheville, NC, dentists, Dr. Jackson Teague, Dr. Pamela Van Praag, and Dr. Rachael Marino of Teague Dentistry, can help you decide which cosmetic dentistry service is right for you.
One-Visit Services
All of these services can be completed in just one visit to the Asheville dental office:
- Teeth Whitening: Are you unhappy with your dull or stained smile? Teeth whitening removes dark pigments that settle deep into your tooth enamel, leaving your teeth three to eight shades whiter. In-office whitening only takes about an hour, or you can opt for a take-home whitening kit.
- Bonding: Bonding involves adding a flexible, tooth-colored material to your tooth to cover discolorations or cracks, fill in chips, close gaps, or change the shape or length of a tooth. The material is hardened with a curing light that bonds it to your tooth enamel.
- Reshaping: Removing tiny amounts of tooth enamel can improve the shape of your tooth. Reshaping is often combined with bonding.
- Same-Day Crowns: Technology makes everything better, including the crown process. Two visits are no longer required for crowns. We create your new crown in our in-office milling machine while you wait. Crowns strengthen weak teeth, restore damaged teeth, cover discolorations and imperfections, and change the shape or length of teeth.
Services That Require Two or More Visits
You'll need to pay at least two visits to the dental office for these services:
- Dental Implants: Implants make it possible to restore both the roots and crown (top) of your missing tooth. Implants are tiny titanium posts that replace your roots and bond to your jawbone. They're connected to dental crowns to complete the restoration of your tooth. Implants feel just like natural teeth and are a long-lasting restoration option.
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers offer an excellent way to conceal tooth flaws and imperfections. The porcelain shells are about as thick as a contact lens, yet hide chips, cracks, discolorations, and uneven surfaces. They can also change the shape or length of your tooth, whiten your teeth, and close gaps. Veneers are made from an impression of your mouth and cemented to the fronts of your teeth.
