Invisalign® Clear Braces

Straightening your smile doesn’t have to require a mouthful of metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is a much more aesthetically pleasing orthodontic service that relies on an aligner system instead of gradual tooth movement. The clear aligners are extremely subtle when worn, and their removable nature also means that patients can continue to enjoy their favorite foods and practice oral hygiene at home like normal.

Veneers

Veneers are custom-made, thin porcelain shells that can restore a tooth to its natural beauty. The tooth may have minor damage due to cracking, damage, or stains, but veneers can be designed to make them all disappear behind a flawlessly white smile. They’re actually the secret behind many of Hollywood’s most attractive smiles!

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

Rebuilding damaged, decayed, and hurting teeth doesn’t have to lead to a sacrifice in your smile’s cosmetic quality! With metal-free materials, our cosmetic dentists here in Gorham can create seamlessly attractive and durable additions that blend right in with a person’s confident appearance. They’re also 100% biocompatible, which means that they won’t react strongly to temperature changes and are even safe for patients who’ve experienced allergies to common dental metals in the past.

Dental Bonding

Sometimes, patients don’t need a full-blown smile makeover – instead, they just have one small problem area that they badly want to correct, such as a thin gap between two teeth or a chip in the enamel. With direct bonding, it’s very simple to address these concerns subtly and quickly. One of our dentists will apply a tooth-colored composite resin to the area in question and sculpt it into place so that it seems like just another natural part of the smile. In most cases, this procedure will only require one appointment.

Teeth Whitening

Over the years, even healthy teeth can become dull or discolored. If you’re ready to give your appearance a new boost of brightness, talk to the Morgan-Hill Dental Care team about our professional teeth whitening solution. Offering high-grade take-home kits, we will equip you with customized products so that you can improve the shade of your smile most conveniently and comfortably as possible.

Gum Recontouring

In many cases, the teeth aren’t actually to blame if a patient is unhappy with their smile – it could be the gum tissue’s fault instead! If the natural gumline is too excessive or unbalanced, our dentists can aesthetically recontour its appearance with a state-of-the-art soft tissue laser. This modern procedure is highly comfortable and conservative. In addition to the clear cosmetic benefits, it may also prove useful in restorative situations – for example, if a patient needs a new dental crown but not enough of the tooth structure is accessible above the gumline.

Digital Imaging

Pursuing the cosmetic smile makeover of your dreams can oftentimes feel intimidating – what if you invest all of this time and money and don’t even like the result? At Morgan-Hill Dental Care, we want to help you feel 100% confident about your brighter future; that’s why we use digital imaging to show you a beautiful sneak peek. Our dentists will take a photo of your current smile and carefully adjust the image to reflect the changes brought on by certain services, making it much easier to decide which treatment plan best fits your vision.

Botox & Juvéderm

You’ve finally achieved your ideal smile with cosmetic dentistry…but what about the facial skin that surrounds it? If you’re feeling frustrated by wrinkles, fine lines, and other like-minded flaws, talk to our dentists about the possibility of receiving Botox or Juvéderm injections. These in-office procedures take less than an hour, and they can easily take years off of your appearance by either preventing unnecessary muscles from contracting or filling the space beneath sagging skin.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

When comparing cosmetic treatments, you need to ask yourself many questions, including “Will this treatment help me achieve my goals for my smile?” and “What can I expect to pay for this treatment?” Here’s a quick review of some of the services we offer:

• Smile Makeovers: With a smile makeover, you can combine multiple treatments to make any number of improvements to your entire grin. The amount you pay depends on which treatments make up your smile makeover plan. Overall, this is one of the costliest cosmetic dentistry options, but it’s also one of the most comprehensive.
• Invisalign: If your cosmetic concerns are specifically related to the positioning of your teeth, Invisalign may be a good choice. Some Invisalign treatments can cost more than others depending on the number of aligners needed.
• Veneers: Veneers are useful for making all kinds of aesthetic improvements simultaneously. They cost more than dental bonding and teeth whitening, but they also generally offer longer-lasting results.
• Dental Bonding: Dental bonding allows us to quickly correct smaller dental imperfections. As far as cosmetic dentistry is concerned, it’s one of the cheapest treatments available.
• Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening can’t do much about tooth position or shape, but it can certainly help brighten a dull or stained smile. It tends to be in the mid-range cost-wise.
• Gum Recontouring: When you have a gummy smile, a gum recontouring treatment can help correct the issue. The cost depends on how much tissue needs to be removed.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

Once you have an idea of how much you’ll need to pay for cosmetic dentistry, you need to ask yourself, “Will cosmetic dentistry be worth the cost?” For many patients, it absolutely can be. A more attractive smile is one that you can feel more confident about showing off. It may also make it easier for others to approach you at social gatherings or the office.

You can also apply for third-party financing via CareCredit. Finally, uninsured patients can sign up for our in-office DenVantage plan.
