We Want To Be Your Independence Cosmetic Dentist

What is cosmetic dentistry? Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry that improves your smile. The intention is to always give you that “Hollywood Smile” no matter what your starting point is. The nice thing is that you won’t have to travel to Hollywood to get a red carpet smile, because we can be your Independence cosmetic dentist!

There are many different materials and techniques used to create these beautiful new smiles such as:

Whitening/Bleaching – Cosmetic Teeth Whitening is usually the beginning of any cosmetic treatment because any material that will be added to the tooth as part of the cosmetic process will not change color and thus it is important to establish a new whiter shade before adding anything.

Composite Bonding – Bonding is also known as a “filling” however in cosmetic dentistry, bonding is typically initiated to correct a cosmetic issue as opposed to a decay issue. The bonding process involves micro-roughening the tooth surface and bonding a tooth-colored plastic like material that is custom fitted to shape, color, surface texture and contour to create an ideal smile.

Veneers – Veneers are porcelain restorations that fit over the front portion of your tooth. They can change the shape, size, color, texture, and even visually change the position of a tooth while being very conservative in tooth structure removal. These types of restorations are constructed in our high-end dental laboratory.

Bridges – Bridges can close a space caused by a missing tooth, thus restoring and improving the smile’s appearance. These types of restorations are also constructed in our dental lab. Bridges are permanently bonded to your teeth. 

Crowns – Crowns also called “caps” completely change the entire shape of the visible part of a tooth. In cosmetic dentistry they can be used in place of veneers when a patient is not an ideal candidate for veneers.

Dentures – When teeth are unsalvageable, dentures are an affordable and highly cosmetic option. Dentures are acrylic “plates” (that are removable) with fixed porcelain or acrylic teeth.  Each night dentures are removed to clean them and give the underlying oral tissues a chance to “air out” which helps prevent microbial growth and sore spots.
