Understanding Cosmetic Dentistry

The primary focus of dentistry is the care and maintenance of your teeth for lifelong dental health. However, it can also be used to improve your appearance. Cosmetic treatments enhance the aesthetic appearance of your smile for a smile free from damage, gaps, and more.

If you want to elevate your smile, our dentist and team provide a variety of cosmetic treatments. Patients who deal with the concerns below may find that cosmetic treatment is the best solution for them.

  • Discolored or Stained Teeth: Tooth stains can quickly become resolved with the help of cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening or dental veneers. 
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Don’t let tooth gaps, whether from tooth damage or genetics, stand in the way of displaying your best self. Our orthodontic treatments can fix this.
  • Broken or Missing Teeth: Dr. Stefano can replace missing teeth with implants and protect damaged teeth with crowns or veneers.
  • Misaligned Teeth: Uneven or sharp teeth can often feel troublesome while eating, drinking, or articulating yourself properly. Reverse these effects with cosmetic care.

Dr. DeStefano has received years of post-graduate education in aesthetic dentistry, helping you and your family feel better than ever.

Cosmetic Dentistry Is Aesthetic and Practical

Lifelong, full-body health is a central focus of our practice here at DeStefano Dentistry. Though cosmetic dentistry can sometimes have the stigma that it’s only “nice to have”, we know that these treatments can provide you with lasting benefits that last far beyond the dental office.

If you have any questions about these benefits, feel free to let us know. We are happy to help!

Repair Previous Dental Damage

Whether you are exploring the great outdoors or lounging indoors, your teeth are vulnerable to tooth decay or irreparable damage. DeStefano Dentistry suggests repairing tooth decay as soon as possible— no matter the extent of the injury. Repairing damage instantly can reduce difficulty eating, drinking, and dealing with significant pain and discomfort. 

Our team will usually use tooth bonding for situations requiring touch-ups to your teeth, such as filling in tooth cracks. Dr. DeStefano also offers orthodontic treatment and same-day dental crowns and bridges for more significant damage. Check out our Restorative Dentistry page for more information about our comprehensive dental care.

Improve Dental Health

Exposed dental damage unfortunately rarely stays stagnant. By reinforcing your smile with cosmetic care, you can provide yourself with extra reassurance that your smile is protected from decay. Our crowns, veneers, and other practical cosmetics treatments deter dental infections and additional tooth decay that can create irreparable damage to your grin.

It can be difficult to further your smile when you aren’t fully invested in your look. Many patients focus on their teeth more as they participate in cosmetic dental work. Cosmetic dental work can make your dental hygiene more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Brighten Your Teeth

Maybe it’s time for a big event like a wedding, or just time for a new profile picture. Whatever the occasion may be, a brighter smile is a great way to feel like you are starting fresh. Our GLO teeth whitening program makes it easier than ever to give your or a loved one a smile that they’ll love. 

Teeth whitening greatly benefits patients who deal with stained teeth mainly from dietary habits, such as using sugary foods or snacks. In other cases, such as with extensive tooth damage, we would suggest our restorative dental tools to ensure lasting support for your smile.

Improve Self Confidence

Give your self-confidence a boost with the help of cosmetic dentistry.  Giving yourself the time to improve your self-confidence can be half the battle. You can give yourself time and energy by reducing the influence of troublesome teeth that require pain management or cumbersome cleaning routines. Replace the pain pills and hidden smiles with cosmetic treatment that fits your needs.

There’s no need to fret about how the appointment will go— many of these treatments are completed in only one visit and require minimal recovery time on your end. Our team is specifically trained with your comfort in mind and focuses their efforts on providing aesthetic smiles to Monroe County.

Cosmetic Dentistry Service In Beautiful Monroe County

After a thorough discussion with our dentist about your dental goals and what may be best for your dental health, we will create a personalized treatment plan that will help guide you on the road to a fabulous smile. While creating that treatment plan, we may suggest the following approaches to support the improvement of your smile. 

While our entire team provides quality care in many areas of dentistry, cosmetic services are a favorite. Dr. DeStefano wants you to see excellent results and be happy with the new aesthetics of your grin. Some of the most common cosmetic dentistry services we provide include:

Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored material to cover tooth imperfections. This material is the same as what’s used to fill up cavities, but it’s used for slightly different purposes. The tooth-colored resin is matched to the natural shade of your teeth. Then, Dr. DeStefano shapes the material to fill in cracks and chips or to change the shape and size of a tooth.

Dental bonding allows patients to effectively repair troublesome areas of their smile without significant dental or surgical work. Instead, this is just a single appointment! Dental bonding is built to look and feel natural to your smile, allowing you to smile brightly with full confidence.

Veneers are thin, durable shells that attach permanently to the front of your teeth to cover up imperfections and completely change the look of your smile. With veneers, you can improve your teeth and cover chips, cracks, stains, and much more, without needing multiple procedures.

While they are a permanent option, they are a great choice for people who don’t want to have an extensive treatment plan or receive orthodontic care. There are a few different dental veneers we offer here at DeStefano Dentistry— here’s how to tell between each one. 

  • Minimal Prep Veneers: Minimal prep veneers meet in the middle between porcelain and prepless veneers. These veneers last longer than prepless veneers but require less enamel removal than porcelain veneers.
  • Porcelain Veneers: With traditional veneers, you’ll need to attend a couple of appointments to first measure and create the veneers, then another to place them after they’ve been crafted. These veneers require some enamel removal for prime support.
  • Prepless Veneers: Prepless veneers have a similar build to porcelain veneers, but require no enamel removal. This option is great for patients who need a less invasive option to repair tooth stains or cracks. This service can be done in one visit.

Do you want to change the alignment of your smile or improve crooked teeth? We offer both SureSmile® and Six Month Smiles® to help you achieve straighter teeth. Dr. DeStefano will work with you and utilize our special dental technology to map out an ideal orthodontic option for your unique needs and goals.

Six Month Smiles focuses on quick, cosmetic improvements by using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires. As the name goes, results can be seen in as little as six months.

SureSmile® Clear Aligners

SureSmile® aligners use advanced clear aligners to gently guide your teeth into position. This discreet orthodontic solution is a popular alternative to traditional braces and works well for a variety of alignment issues and personal concerns, such as its: 

  • Cost-Effective: SureSmile® aligners are cost-effective compared with other treatment options, allowing you to show a clear smile at a fraction of the cost.
  • Concealed Look: SureSmile® orthodontics are made from completely transparent aligners, avoiding the awkward metal brackets used in traditional treatments.
  • Quick Treatment: SureSmile® aligners provide a quick and efficient treatment time compared to other aligner-based treatments.

Teeth whitening is the most cosmetic dentistry procedure. As people age, stains, discoloration, or yellow teeth are common, even if you have good dental health habits. Many factors can impact the look of your teeth, including your diet, genetics, medications, and more.

We provide GLO teeth whitening systems. With these professional teeth whitening methods, you can get whiter teeth in a faster and safer treatment. We provide both in-office and take-home kits to meet your needs and budget.
