Popular Cosmetic Dental Services & Procedures
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a variety of techniques and procedures. Some are strictly aesthetic in nature, while the others are routine treatments simply adapted to meet cosmetic specifications. At Fabulous Dentistry in Houston, Dr. Fabiola Garcia tends to lean towards a combined approach, where the best cosmetic and restorative treatments are used together to achieve an optimal overall appearance.
Depending on your smile’s shape, current health, your timeline, and budget, some of the different cosmetic procedures we generally recommend for your smile makeover include:
Teeth Whitening — Professional teeth whitening takes years off your smile’s appearance and can remove deep set stains from your favorite foods. Dr. Garcia recommends whitening prior to other cosmetic treatments, so that you have a bright canvas to start with.
Dental Veneers — For the most dramatic smile results, cosmetic veneers are your go-to solution. Veneers are bonded over the front of your natural smile, instantly giving you white, straight teeth without braces.
Tooth Bonding — When you have one or two teeth that are detracting from your smile’s overall appearance, you may not need a new set of veneers. Rather, tooth colored composite bonding is a great alternative. Dr. Garcia will match the material to your tooth, then hand shape it so that the gap or chipped edge looks completely whole again. Once he’s finished applying the composite, we cure it in place, and you have an entirely new looking smile! It’s amazing what covering a couple of tiny flaws can do for your overall look.
Enamel Recontouring — Rough edges or small chips can make minor imperfections in your teeth stand out like a sore thumb. Gently smoothing them out only takes a couple of minutes and the results are priceless!
Gum Contouring — “Gummy” smiles and uneven gum lines can make your teeth look short, uneven, and unattractive. Fortunately gum recontouring is a straightforward procedure that offers fast results. By adjusting the margin of your gums, Dr. Garcia can expose more tooth structure so that your smile looks fuller and appropriately sized.
White Fillings — Do you have dark metal fillings that show when you laugh or smile for photographs? Composite fillings are mercury free and less invasive to your tooth structure. Plus, they come in a variety of different shades so that no one will be able to see the restoration on your tooth; we can place them anywhere in your mouth!
Ceramic Crowns — Durable porcelain crowns help protect the compromised teeth underneath, while enhancing their outer appearance. We closely match the shade of your cosmetic restoration with neighboring tooth enamel so that it blends in as best as possible.
Dental Implants — Yes, implants are a therapeutic and restorative solution to return your smile back to optimal function. But they also play a crucial role when it comes to managing the cosmetic challenges of missing teeth. Since implants can support ceramic crowns, dentures, and bridges without being invasive to the rest of your smile, they’re an excellent way to achieve the best outcome for your overall appearance.
Teeth Straightening — Invisalign or traditional braces may be all you need to get the smile of your dreams.
