Cosmetic Dentistry
While traditional dentistry focuses on preventative and restorative care, Cosmetic Dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth, mouth and smile. At Kondo Family Dentistry, we strive to give you your best smile because when you look better, you feel better.
Common Cosmetic Services offered by Kondo Family Dentistry:
Veneers
Veneers are a thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom made by a dental laboratory that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Cosmetic Porcelain Veneers from Kondo Family Dentistry can correct a variety of common cosmetic dental issues, including: uneven teeth, chipped teeth, discoloration, worn enamel and unwanted or uneven spaces. Cosmetic Veneers typically require two visits to compete, with little to no anesthesia involved.
Crowns
A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is a fixed dental prosthetic that is cemented over a damaged tooth. The main purpose of a crown is to cover a damaged tooth, while strengthening it and improving its overall appearance. Unlike traditional gold alloy or base metal alloy crowns, cosmetic dental crowns are designed to blend with your natural tooth color. Cosmetic crowns include porcelain fused to metal and ceramic crowns.
Bridges
Often, a bridge is recommended by Kondo Family Dentistry if you’re missing a tooth. Gaps left by missing teeth often cause the remaining teeth to shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. A dental bridge will span the open space where previously extracted teeth were.
Cosmetic Fillings
Cosmetic Fillings refers to filling material that is made to match the color of your tooth. While there are a variety of tooth filling materials on the market, most people prefer to receive tooth-colored or cosmetic fillings. Before you may receive a cosmetic filling, tooth decay must be removed and then filled with a layer of tooth colored resin made to match your smile.
