Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
At J. Richard Burch, DDS Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide the latest smile enhancing procedures to give you the brilliant smile you have always wanted. Cosmetic dentistry can fix a multitude of aesthetic imperfections including chipped, stained, misshapen, crooked, and gapped teeth, transforming them into a stunning smile that can benefit both your personal and professional life.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of chipped, stained, misshapen, gapped, and crooked teeth to give you a beautiful smile. Made of extremely durable, translucent porcelain, these veneers are thin laminates that are bonded seamlessly to the front surfaces of teeth to cover aesthetic imperfections. The shape and color of your veneers are custom designed to match the exact smile design and hue that you choose, allowing you to achieve the precise results you desire. For patients with crooked teeth, porcelain veneers can instantly give you the appearance of a straight smile without the need for orthodontics. Contact us today for more information about porcelain veneers to enhance the appearance of your smile.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive way to conceal chipped teeth, stains, and gaps between teeth. Using a resilient composite resin that is customized to match the exact color of your surrounding teeth, Dr. Burch “paints” over the imperfection with thin layers of resin, hardening each coat with a special curing light. Once the necessary amount of resin has been applied, Dr. Burch then sculpts the bond to achieve the desired shape and buffs it to match the texture of your natural teeth. Contact us today for more information about repairing smile imperfections with composite bonding.
Teeth Whitening
Achieving a brilliantly white smile can do wonders for your appearance. Dr. Burch can perform teeth whitening to quickly remove dulling stains caused by tobacco, coffee, red wine, medication, soda or tea. In just a short time, you will emerge with a smile that is multiple shades whiter. Contact us today for more information about our teeth whitening procedure.
Gum Contouring
Excess gum tissue can create the appearance of a “gummy smile” or an uneven gum line, which can detract from the natural beauty of your teeth and smile. Using the latest techniques, gums can be reshaped to create a new gum line that will beautifully complement your smile. Often, gum contouring is performed to further enhance the aesthetic results of porcelain veneer application or other cosmetic procedures. Contact us today for more information about gum contouring to improve the look of your gums.
