Lewisburg Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are one of cosmetic dentistry’s best tools for creating that stunning, youthful smile you’ve always dreamed of having. After your cosmetic dentist in Lewisburg discusses your concerns and goals, we get started with the porcelain veneers process. Our dentists love these cases because it creatively allows them to blend the art and science of cosmetic dentistry to craft your ideal smile. We really love helping patients like you feel good about your smile, and porcelain veneers are designed to do just that. What we put into the design process for your porcelain veneers is unparalleled and the results are spectacular.

During your treatment, we bond the thin porcelain facings to the front of your teeth for a complete smile transformation that you’re going to love. Durable and incredibly natural-looking, veneers can be shaped to correct a multitude of problems and make your smile look better than you ever dreamed it could.

Porcelain veneers can:

• Whiten stained teeth
• Restore teeth to their most attractive shape (longer, wider, shorter, or narrower)
• Repair chipped or broken teeth
• Straighten the appearance of crooked or overlapped teeth

Our office works with one of the finest dental labs in the world. These master technicians handcraft each individual veneer for optimal shading and translucency. Most importantly, these craftsmen share our exceedingly high standards for exceptional quality. The results are simply amazing leaving smiles radiant, beautiful, and healthy.

Minimal Prep Veneers 

Before your cosmetic dentist in Lewisburg can expertly place porcelain veneers on your teeth, there is a little bit of preparatory work that must be completed first. That step is what makes minimal prep veneers different from regular porcelain veneers. Your dentist doesn’t have to do anything to your tooth enamel prior to placing minimal-prep veneers, just like their name suggests.

Minimal prep veneers are similar in function and the results they can deliver compared to porcelain veneers. Minimal prep veneers can:

• Lengthen teeth that are wearing down
• Even out your smile
• Straighten any unevenness or crooked teeth
• Repair chips, cracks, and broken teeth
• Close gapped teeth
• Cover stained or discolored teeth

Minimal prep veneers are easy to apply and completed in just one visit to our Lewisburg dental office. They’re a great choice for patients who aren’t ready to commit to regular porcelain veneers. If you’ve been considering cosmetic dentistry, especially any kind of dental veneers, we hope you talk to the team at Union Dental Health. We’re happy to walk you through the process and answer any questions. We have the expertise and techniques to transform your smile.

Full-Mouth Restorations

Have you ever dreamed of having a movie-star smile? Straight, even, gorgeous white teeth that look and feel perfectly natural? You can stop dreaming.

A full mouth restoration is the total transformation of your smile. Any problem with your smile can be fixed; any smile can evolve from ordinary to extraordinary. We can show you how cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile, fixing everything such as:

• Missing teeth 
• Uneven tooth size, shape, color, length, and width
• Chipped, worn, broken teeth
• Unsightly and unhealthy metal fillings
• Gapped or overlapped teeth
• Yellow, stained teeth
• A gummy smile 

Often, a combination of veneers, crowns, onlays, and bridges helps to create the masterpiece. Your cosmetic dentist in Lewisburg will work directly with you to design a smile in perfect proportion to your bone and facial structure, using a series of sophisticated facial measurements to ensure a natural appearance. To help you visualize the results, digital imaging and a custom wax model of your new smile are created. You can even help choose the best color for your smile. Even the most dramatic change can be made in only two to three comfortable visits. You can have the smile of your dreams in no time at all.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening may not be as popular as some of the other cosmetic dentistry treatments, but we do use it for a variety of reasons. Is crown lengthening right for you? Consider your answers to these questions:

1. Do you have a gum line that’s too high and uneven?
2. Do you need a dental procedure such as a crown or extraction where crown lengthening would help?
3. Do you have too much gum tissue and frequent tooth decay?
4. Do your teeth look too wide or too thin?

Chances are if you answered yes to one of these questions, there’s a good chance that crown lengthening could be a viable cosmetic dentistry option for your smile. Crown lengthening gives your cosmetic dentist in Lewisburg more enamel to work with by literally lengthening the crown of your tooth. Some of the other benefits of crown lengthening include:

• Saving a tooth that’s broken so your dentist can place a dental crown
• Improving the appearance of your smile for a fuller grin
• Reducing your risk for future tooth decay
• Making it easier for your dentist to perform an extraction

If you’re unhappy with the way your smile looks because of excess gum tissue or an uneven gum line, please talk to your dentist about crown lengthening or other cosmetic dentistry options that are a good fit for you and your smile.

Gum Recontouring 

When you look in the mirror and smile, do you like what you see? Are there imperfections staring back at you that you want to fix? It’s time you talked to your cosmetic dentist in Lewisburg about all of the treatments and techniques we have to make your smile marvelous. 

One of the ways we can fix your smile is by using something known as gum recontouring. This is especially helpful for patients who feel like they show too much of their gums when they smile (also known as a “gummy smile).  Your teeth may actually be the proper length, but they’re covered with too much gum tissue. Gum recontouring returns your teeth to the appropriate proportions and your gums to an aesthetically pleasing shape. Excess gum and bone tissue can also be reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth, several teeth, or all teeth to expose a natural, broad smile. To contour gums, your dentist will place a topical anesthetic on your gums to numb the area. A soft tissue laser is used to quickly reshape the gum line. The laser seals the tissue, promoting quick healing, and creating an even more beautiful smile.

Composite Bonding 

Cosmetic dentistry’s alternative to porcelain veneers is composite bonding. It’s helpful for fixing dental dilemmas like that little chip in your molar that you can feel with your tongue. Composite bonding can also eliminate:

• Unwanted discolorations and stains on your teeth
• Chips or cracked teeth
• Crooked or uneven teeth 

If you’ve been interested in cosmetic dentistry and composite bonding, but always thought it wasn’t for you, we can change all that. Are you nervous that there will be pain? Don’t be, you won’t feel a thing during treatment. Did you think that composite bonding would mean you need to make multiple trips to see your cosmetic dentist in Lewisburg? Nope! Composite bonding can often be completed in a single visit and can significantly change the appearance of your smile. You won’t have to worry about having messy impressions taken or wait on items from the lab. The process is quite simple:

1. Schedule your consultation
2. Come see us and share your smile goals
3. Together we choose your composite bonding custom shading
4. Your composite bonding is applied directly to your teeth
5. Your dentist artfully sculpts the bonding material

Composite bonding is affordable and will give you the results you’ve always wanted and the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Ask us to learn more about composite bonding today.

Smile Whitening 

Do you feel embarrassed because of a stained, discolored smile? We offer two effective whitening options to give your smile the gleam it has been missing. Many people achieve a whiter, brighter smile with our simple whitening procedures. And unlike over-the-counter products, our prescription-level products are designed to treat your teeth and gums gently, while achieving the whitest results possible.

Philips ZOOM! In-Office Whitening

Are your teeth stained or discolored? It’s normal. Over time, teeth naturally become discolored. But you don’t have to live with a dingy smile. For the ultimate in effectiveness, convenience, and comfort, we use Philips ZOOM!, a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. A state-of-the-art, in-office whitening system, ZOOM!, dramatically whitens your teeth in one short visit, making it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

The procedure begins with a short preparation to isolate and protect your lips and gums. Then we’ll apply the ZOOM! whitening gel and turn on a specially designed light to activate the gel. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You’ll be amazed by the results. 

Glo™ Take-Home Whitening

To keep your teeth gleaming, we provide all our smile whitening guests a take-home option called Glo™. It’s the only teeth whitening system that relies on using accelerating warming heat and LED light technology for quick results you can see without unwanted sensitivity.
