Cosmetic Dentistry

Life is Brighter When You Smile with Confidence.

While routine dental maintenance is focused on improving oral health and function, cosmetic dentistry can give you the smile of your dreams. Whether you’re seeking whiter teeth, better alignment, or replacing a missing tooth, River Oaks Dental has the expertise and compassion to make your dental goals a reality.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance and aesthetics of your smile by treating problems associated with the appearance of your teeth and gums. Common cosmetic dental procedures include Invisalign, teeth whitening, crowns, and veneers.

While each procedure has its own outcomes and benefits, all cosmetic dentistry shares one thing in common – the number one goal is for you to love your smile. At River Oaks Dental, we believe that aesthetic dentistry should always work in tandem with the overall oral health and function of the patient. River Oaks Dental offers a comprehensive list of dental services and works with you to ensure your comfort and enjoyment of your dental journey.

Are You a Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?

If you are self-conscious or unhappy about any aspect of your smile, cosmetic dentistry may just what you need. Common patient concerns include chipped or cracked teeth, gaps or spaces between teeth, tooth discoloration or staining, and poorly shapen or misaligned teeth.

It is very important to address any pre-existing oral health issues – such as an infection or periodontal disease – or restorative issues such as broken or cavitated teeth before proceeding with any cosmetic treatments. Remember – a healthy smile is a beautiful smile! Contact River Oaks Dental to schedule a consultation to discuss your options.

Teeth Whitening

If you have stained or discolored teeth, whitening is a popular procedure to make teeth whiter and brighter. This procedure is a safe and relatively painless way to enhance and brighten a dull smile. River Oaks Dental offers both in-office whitening and at-home tray whitening for your convenience.

In-office whitening is ideal for anyone wanting immediate results. The entire process takes place in our office and lasts only two hours, making it the perfect choice for busy schedules. In-office whitening can achieve longer-lasting results than any other whitening option. While tray whitening may take longer to produce results, it is a less expensive whitening option that still brightens your smile – all in the comfort of your own home and at your convenience.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an alternative to traditional brackets and braces or can be used in tandem as part of a treatment plan. They are virtually invisible as well as removable to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Digital scanners can predict how your teeth will move during treatment.

If you consistently wear your aligners between 20-22 hours a day and follow your prescribed plan, you can see noticeable changes and straighter teeth within weeks. Please note that not all patients are candidates for clear aligners.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are a procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside visible area of the tooth. Veneers are usually only applied to the part of the tooth that is visible when talking or smiling and can be direct or indirect. Both options are very aesthetically pleasing.

Direct veneers are created from a composite resin and applied directly – or bonded – to the natural tooth. This option often requires less preparation than indirect veneers, which require enough space for the veneer to be cemented on top of the tooth. When compared to indirect veneers, direct veneers are more aesthetic and better withstand the test of time.

Talk to your dental expert to determine which is best for you.

Fixed Bridges

A bridge is one or more artificial teeth cemented into place using the teeth on either side for support. This procedure is often an ideal method to fill the space created by missing teeth. Bridge work is both cosmetic and practical as the tooth (or teeth) must function properly as well as look beautiful.

The healthy teeth on either side of the missing space are prepared just like a normal crown. Once an impression is made of your mouth, it is sent to a lab where the bridge will be custom-made to match your existing bite and tooth alignment. With careful hygiene, bridges are very durable and can last a lifetime.
