Cosmetic Dentistry - Aiken, SC

Porcelain veneers , a sought-after cosmetic dentistry solution, effectively address teeth gaps, length disparities, stains, and smile imbalances. In Aiken, SC, our restoration dentists can skillfully apply veneers if your teeth are structurally sound and decay-free.

The process involves gentle enamel removal, an impression-taking phase, and a temporary veneer application using a removable adhesive. Subsequently, a precisely fitted permanent veneer is securely bonded to your tooth using specialized cement.

Various factors, including age, genetics, and consumption of tobacco, coffee, tea, and red wine, can lead to tooth stains. Combatting this common cosmetic dentistry issue, our professional teeth whitening presents an ideal solution for restoring the natural brightness of your smile.

Our teeth whitening solutions deliver multi-shade improvements in a single session, while personalized at-home whitening trays are also available for your convenience.

Also known as indirect fillings, inlays are used in teeth with mild to moderate decay or insufficient tooth structure to support a filling. If there is no damage to the tooth cusps (raised points), the inlay is placed directly onto the tooth surface. When the cusp or a more significant portion of the tooth is damaged, our restoration dentist will likely recommend an onlay to cover the entire surface of the tooth.

Bonding is a cost-effective cosmetic dentistry procedure to repair tooth decay, chipped or cracked teeth, and worn-down edges. During this procedure, we first drill out the tooth decay or imperfections, then roughen the surface to ensure a good bond.

The tooth-colored composite material is applied onto the tooth surface, "sculpted" into the right shape, and then cured with a high-intensity light.

A crown or cap is a porcelain or ceramic restoration that covers a tooth's exposed surface to strengthen or improve its appearance. Crowns are an excellent cosmetic dentistry option for teeth with large fillings or damage and to protect weakened tooth structures after a root canal.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with an artificial tooth or teeth fused to natural teeth with crowns on either side for support. Although bridges don’t preserve bone in the empty socket like dental implants, they do prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.

Crafted to enhance aesthetic appeal and oral functionality, a smile makeover involves a tailored blend of cosmetic treatments. During your consultation, our skilled restoration dentist will evaluate your teeth, address existing oral health concerns, and explore your smile aspirations.

A personalized plan aligned with your budget and individual requirements will be meticulously devised. For a comprehensive transformation, your customized smile makeover might include porcelain veneers, clear aligners, crowns, bridges, and teeth whitening.

Orthodontics to correct crooked teeth, spacing issues, or malocclusion (bad bite) are often necessary to improve smile stability, function, health, and aesthetics. Traditional braces consist of standard metal brackets placed on your teeth with an adhesive and connected by wire.

Periodic tightening is required every four to six weeks to enable steady pressure to gradually straighten your teeth and align your jaw. On average, it takes about 24 months to complete orthodontic treatment.
