Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
We offer several cosmetic dental procedures for improving the appearance of your smile. For instance, options are available for repairing chipped or cracked teeth, as well as whitening stained, discolored, or dull teeth. There are even procedures for transforming the look of crooked or misshaped teeth. Cosmetic dentistry procedures at our office in Annapolis, MD, include:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Composite white dental fillings that blend in with the natural teeth, making them a discreet option for restoring teeth affected by decay.
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin covers permanently bonded to the front of teeth to conceal cosmetic issues and give teeth a flawless new look.
- Cosmetic Tooth Bonding: A method for repairing teeth that are chipped or cracked with a tooth-colored composite resin material that permanently bonds to the tooth once dry.
