Cosmetic Dental Services in Newburyport, MA
At Dentistry Of Newburyport, we offer cosmetic dental services in Newburyport. Those living in and around the 01950 area can benefit from having a single procedure performed or having a full smile makeover. We understand that a persons’ smile can transform their entire appearance, restore self-confidence, and make it easier to speak clearly. Whether your goal is to improve your appearance or to improve the functionality of your teeth – we can help.
If you live in Newburyport, MA, we invite you to call (978) 465-8492 and schedule a consultation to speak with Drs. Mandic and Kuljic. During your appointment, we will examine your teeth and discuss the goals that you have for your smile. There are so many types of procedures to choose from that it is important to understand what you are trying to accomplish so that we can make a customized recommendation that fits your lifestyle and timeframe goals.
Before we schedule any cosmetic dental services, we will want to ensure that your teeth and gums are in good health. It is essential that they are. Otherwise, you will take longer to heal, and your teeth will continue to deteriorate over time. Starting with healthy teeth, or restoring damaged ones during the process, is important for keeping your new smile looking fabulous for years to come.
Simultaneously, your gums need to be in good health before completing any major cosmetic work. Many people are unaware of how important the connection between the gums and teeth are. If your gums are receding or you have some level of gum disease, it will continue to advance and put your teeth at risk for further infection and even bone loss. This could jeopardize any cosmetic work that you have had completed, so if gum disease is present, we will treat it first.
Once you are ready for a cosmetic procedure, we will have you come in for your scheduled appointment time. We typically recommend starting with a teeth whitening procedure. This can be important because any restoration or cosmetic work you have done will typically involve creating a crown or veneer. Whether restoring a damaged tooth or replacing it, a new tooth is typically created using resin, ceramic, or porcelain. These materials are all similar in nature and are stain resistant. This is fantastic because if you have your smile transformed with veneers, for example, they won’t stain like natural teeth. The challenge is that they do not whiten like natural teeth either. That means that before you have cosmetic work you will want to ensure that your natural teeth are the shade that you like. If you have all of your teeth corrected this is not an issue. If, however, you are only focusing on one or two teeth, they will be made to match your surrounding teeth. If you don’t like their color, the newly restored tooth will also be a shade that you don’t like.
Our team will then go to work on transforming your smile from ordinary to stunning. Whether we are closing gaps in between teeth, changing their overall shape or size, covering dark stains, straightening teeth, or restoring them, our cosmetic dental services can give you the smile you have always wanted. For more information or to speak with Drs. Mandic and Kuljic call (978) 465-8492 or schedule an appointment online.
According to the American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry, the top cosmetic dental treatments are:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered by some to be more attractive than dentures for replacing missing teeth.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed for closing gaps or disguising stained teeth that don’t respond well to whitening treatments.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the most common cosmetic dental procedure for lightening (bleaching) teeth.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an option for fixing a broken tooth, chipped tooth or cracked teeth.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are an excellent restorative solution. A crown is a ceramic cap. Each one is made after taking an impression and measurements of the teeth. It is designed to blend in with your surrounding teeth, and once placed, it prevents anything from directly touching the tooth. Since a crown is a cap, it is commonly used to protect teeth that have suffered from erosion or are chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged. A crown can also correct common aesthetic problems by closing gaps in between teeth, changing the shape and size of teeth, covering dark stains, and making teeth appear to be straighter. Crowns are long-lasting with an average lifespan of fifteen years or longer, making them incredibly popular. Before they can be placed, the tooth has to be prepared.
When you visit our Newburyport dental office, we will remove a portion of the enamel from around your tooth so the crown can surround it without making the tooth overly large. A temporary crown will then be attached using water-based glue, and when the final crown is ready, you will come back in to have it bonded in place. Once done, your tooth will be fully functional and beautiful.
Dental Bridges
If you are missing one or several teeth, dental bridges are an ideal solution for replacing them. For this procedure to work, you need to have remaining healthy teeth that can serve as anchors for the bridge. A bridge is secured by placing dental crowns on the two teeth surrounding the missing one.
These crowns hold the bridge and new tooth in place. Those suffering from major tooth loss may not be a good candidate for dental bridges, since healthy, natural teeth are required to hold it in place. Otherwise, they are a good non-surgical solution for tooth loss and can look completely natural when prepared by an expert cosmetic dentist.
If you live in the 01950 area and are tired of wearing dentures or are considering tooth replacement options, we invite you to call (978) 465-8492 to learn more.
Dental Implants
At Dentistry Of Newburyport, we often discuss the benefits of dental implants with our patients. It is important to deal with tooth loss immediately, because once the tooth and root are gone, the jawbone will no longer receive stimulation from that area. This is problematic because without the stimulation, the body begins to think the jawbone is no longer necessary and begins to leach calcium from it. This process of resorption can lead to devastating changes in the face, giving off a sunken appearance.
Dental implants are the best solution for preventing this, because an implant replaces both the tooth and root. In this procedure, a titanium rod is implanted under the gums and secured to the jawbone. The bone and metal will fuse together through the process of osseointegration, and once complete, a new tooth can be secured to the post. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and behaves entirely natural. If you lead an active lifestyle and do not want to be constrained by tooth loss, dental implants are the best option for you. If you live in Newburyport, MA, you have access to expert dental care, and we recommend that you call (978) 465-8492 to learn more about this innovative procedure.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile by correcting imperfections such as chips, stains, or gaps. These thin, custom-made shells are crafted from porcelain or composite resin and are designed to cover the front surface of teeth, offering a natural, long-lasting appearance.
The procedure involves preparing the teeth with minimal enamel removal and bonding the veneers securely in place.
Veneers not only improve the aesthetics of your teeth but also provide added protection to the underlying enamel. Ideal for those looking to achieve a flawless smile, veneers are a popular non-surgical solution for cosmetic improvements.
If you are in the 01950 area and considering ways to enhance your smile, call (978) 465-8492 to discover how veneers can transform your appearance.
Invisalign®
An important part of cosmetic dental care is straightening teeth. We have a variety of solutions that can change the appearance of teeth to make them look straighter. Most of these do not, however, actually straighten the teeth. Invisalign® is a procedure that involves wearing clear aligners that have been custom created to address your specific dental challenges.
By wearing each Invisalign® aligner for two weeks, your teeth will move that much closer to being straight. Many people in Newburyport enjoy this solution because the aligners are nearly invisible.
Professional Teeth Whitening
At Dentistry Of Newburyport, we recommend professional teeth whitening as one of the first procedures you try. By whitening your teeth, you can remove signs of aging, along with any stains.
This treatment can be completed right away, and you will see quality results that you can be immediately be proud of for your smile. While store-bought whitening kits work, they provide a less dramatic result and take longer to work, making our solution the preferred option among our patients.
A new study shows that a great smile can you make you 20% more attractive and people with beautiful smiles make, on average, 12% more money each year.
The Truth About Cosmetic Dentistry
Some people hear the word cosmetic and assume that Drs. Mandic and Kuljic only treats people that are looking to create a Hollywood smile. While Drs. Mandic and Kuljic is a talented cosmetic dentist, this field of dentistry involves much more than creating a stunning appearance. It is true that most Hollywood stars have used cosmetic dental procedures to improve their smile, but these procedures accomplish far more than that.
Beyond basic cosmetic procedures aimed at changing a persons’ appearance, cosmetic dental procedures can restore the functionality of teeth and the self-confidence of our patients. People throughout Massachusetts visit Dentistry Of Newburyport after they have been in an accident and have damaged their tooth. The American Dental Association reports that the majority of adults that damage their teeth do so while playing sports, meaning that anyone can have a tooth break or chip at any time – regardless of how careful they are. Car wrecks, slip and fall accidents, and workplace injuries are additional ways that teeth can become damaged and when they do, it is important to visit a dentist that understands how to restore teeth in a natural way.
How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist
Don’t let cosmetic dental prices guide your choice in a dentist because cheaper isn’t necessarily better. Be sure to look at a cosmetic dentist’s book of “before and after” photos; inquire about his or her participation in continuing education courses; and ask for references.
White fillings, also called composite fillings, are made from tooth-colored materials that restore the natural appearance of a decayed or previously filled tooth.
Because they blend well with tooth enamel and don’t look like fillings, a composite filling usually requires only one visit, during which the tooth is prepared and restored. An advantage of composite fillings, as compared with other dental restorations, is that they require less of the healthy part of a tooth to be removed to hold the filling in place.
Fillings may be the treatment option for you if you have small to moderate tooth decay.
