COSMETIC DENTISTRY
IN SARATOGA SPRINGS, DAYBREAK, & EAGLE MOUNTAIN, UT
Caring for your teeth is an important and lifelong pursuit that takes dedication and work. However, if you’ve let your teeth fall into disrepair, there’s hope. Cosmetic dentistry is the work done by dental professionals to help repair and restore teeth to their very best appearance and function. Whether your teeth are chipped, cracked, missing, misshapen, stained, or yellowing, we’ve got solutions for you.
IF YOUR TEETH ARE CRACKED OR CHIPPED…
Got broken or otherwise damaged teeth? The best way to repair these sorts of dental situations would be by looking into dental veneers or crowns. Veneers are a sort of thin shell that can be placed on top of your natural tooth, giving you the look and the function of a natural tooth. And because veneers are often made out of porcelain, they have the appearance of natural teeth and are even more stain resistant.
Crowns are like small caps that can be put on top of a tooth that has been severely damaged. It’s like a very large dental filling. There are many different dental crown materials available and the type you choose will depend on the kind of appearance you’re going for. Crowns, when cared for properly can last for many years and can handle the wear and tear of your natural teeth.
IF YOUR TEETH ARE MISSING…
If you have a missing tooth or two then a dental bridge might be just the fix for you. It’s a dental prosthetic that can be held in place by your remaining natural teeth. Or a partial denture can be created to fill any gaps or openings in your smile.
IF YOUR TEETH ARE STAINED OR YELLOW…
One of the most popular forms of cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. You can whiten your teeth in many ways but some of the most common would be at home whitening kits and in-office whitening. You can buy a high quality and professional whitening kit at your dentist’s office or you can let your dentist whiten your teeth himself. Each has their own benefits but all can result in a beaming grin.
COSMETIC DENTISTRY PROCEDURES
At Pony Express Dental, we know how important it is to have a confident smile. We offer various dental aesthetic services to enhance your smile and boost your self-esteem. If you’re in Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, or Daybreak, Utah, stop by one of our offices to see how we can help! We want to give you your best smile yet! We’ve listed some of the cosmetic procedures we provide here to give you a better idea of the many options available to you. If you have any questions about any of the services listed, do not hesitate to reach out.
Veneers: If you are unhappy with the shape, length, or color of your teeth, veneers may be the best option for you. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that go over the front of your teeth. They’re custom-shaped and then cemented to the surface of your teeth. This is a permanent solution to several different unwanted dental characteristics. When each veneer is placed, you will have an entirely new smile. They’re made to change a variety of things about your teeth.
Teeth Whitening: One of our most popular dental procedures is teeth whitening, which is also one of the most economical. Almost everyone can afford teeth whitening! We utilize teeth whitening to improve the whiteness of your smile if you are already confident in the alignment of your smile. After a professional hydrogen peroxide whitening treatment, your smile stays white over time. If you’re interested in teeth whitening, come to our dental office! The procedure is painless, and you’ll have a brand-new smile in just an hour.
Dental Bonding: If your teeth are damaged or chipped, dental bonding can restore them to their former state. We use a moldable dental resin that we shape to fit the form of your teeth before being cemented in place with a special dental light. The material will then be filed, molded, and colored to match the color of your actual teeth. Your smile will appear completely natural!
Dental Implant: A dental implant is both cosmetic and restorative. It is a surgical process that will permanently restore a missing tooth. The implant consists of three different dental appliances placed at later times. The post is the new root placed into your jawbone, followed by the abutment and the crown, a prosthetic tooth. You will have a tooth replacement for the rest of your life. A prosthetic tooth will be undetectable to others, including yourself.
Invisalign: Invisalign is the most recent method of teeth straightening. Invisalign is a faster and more efficient way to straighten your teeth. We can tailor the technique to your specific needs, and it has consistently outperformed metal braces. If you’re interested in Invisalign, give us a call! We’d love to get you started on this quick and painless procedure that will boost your self-esteem.
Traditional Braces: We also offer traditional braces! Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires that work together to pull your teeth into a better alignment. The process can take some time, but metal braces are affordable and a process you can trust to do its job. You can see results very quickly!
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
How do I know which cosmetic dentistry treatment is right for me?
That’s a great question, and it’s exactly what our team is here to help you figure out. Every smile is different, so the right treatment depends on your goals, your oral health, and your budget. Whether you’re interested in whitening, veneers, or a full smile makeover, we offer free virtual consultations so you can connect with a cosmetic dentist and get personalized recommendations before you ever set foot in our office.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments typically last?
It depends on the procedure. Teeth whitening results can last one to three years with good home care and periodic touch-ups. Veneers and dental bonding, when properly maintained, can last a decade or more. Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution and can last a lifetime with regular care. During your consultation, your cosmetic dentist will walk you through realistic expectations based on the specific treatment you choose.
Will cosmetic dental work look natural?
Absolutely. Our teams in Daybreak, Eagle Mountain, and Saratoga Springs take great care to match the shade, shape, and proportion of any restoration to your natural teeth. Whether we’re placing a veneer, a crown, or a dental implant, the goal is a result that looks and feels completely like your own smile. You can even preview your results with our Smile Test Drive system.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic procedures?
Most dental insurance plans focus on restorative and preventive care, so purely cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening or veneers are typically not covered. However, some procedures, such as dental implants or crowns, may be partially covered if they also serve a restorative function. We’re happy to help you review your benefits and explore financing options so you can get the care you need.
