What cosmetic dental procedures are beneficial for patients from a Charleston dentist?

A healthy, beautiful smile can set one person apart from another. The confidence that radiates from an individual who has an aesthetically pleasing smile is immeasurable. Cosmetic dental procedures are often used for patients who want to obtain the smile of their dreams but were not born with a naturally pleasing smile. Dr. Greenberg, Charleston dentist, is happy to offer a wide variety of cosmetic dental procedures to help patients restore and transform their smiles beautifully!

Teeth Whitening

Whitening the smile can rejuvenate the way it looks and address stains and discoloration that may have formed over time. Dr. Greenberg offers at-home whitening kits that contain professional grade whitening gels. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, these whitening trays are custom made for patients and have stronger, more effective bleaching products included. Patients can whiten their smiles in the privacy of their own homes and see results in as little as a week, and maintain them for life!

Dental Crowns

Crowns are used in both general and cosmetic dentistry. Typically a crown is created to bond over a tooth to protect it from damage. This may be done after a large filling has been placed or a root canal treatment has been done. They are made to be beautiful and look natural when in place. They may also be bonded over a natural tooth to change its overall appearance or may be used in conjunction with a dental implant.

Dental Bridges

Bridges are cosmetic restorations that are used to restore a smile after natural tooth loss. The bridge uses the surrounding teeth for support and places a false tooth in the empty space. This is an affordable alternative to dental implants, and a more permanent solution than removable partial dentures.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are used to cosmetically alter teeth. These may be placed on teeth that are misaligned, permanently stained, chipped, or broken. Veneers are used in cosmetic dentistry to improve one or more teeth within a smile. They are strong, beautiful, and affordable.

Dental Implants

The “gold standard” in tooth restoration is the dental implant. A dental implant is a titanium post that Dr. Greenberg surgically implants into the jawbone. The process of osseointegration stimulates bone growth around the implant to hold it in place, and it is restored on top with a dental crown. Patients find that this permanent restoration lasts a lifetime with proper care and regular examinations with Dr. Greenberg.
