Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry includes treatments like veneers, teeth whitening, clear aligners, and porcelain crowns that improve your smile's appearance. At Derhake Dental, Dr. Sarah Spring can help you make minor improvements or customize a full smile makeover to restore your confidence.
What Issues Does Cosmetic Dentistry Fix?
Dr. Spring enjoys the combination of artistry and science involved with cosmetic dental treatments. Using one or more of the services we offer, she corrects the aesthetic issues that bother you, including:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Wide gaps between teeth
- Tooth stains and discoloration
- Teeth that appear too short or too small
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
If you want to correct one or more of these issues, our cosmetic dentist in Florissant, MO, will create a customized treatment plan to help you meet your goals. Your teeth and gums must be healthy, so in some cases, we may need to perform other procedures to prepare for a smile makeover.
Cosmetic Dentistry Services We Offer
If you have one or several of the aesthetic issues listed above, we can help you with the following cosmetic dental treatments.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment we offer. Our patients have discovered that whitening is an affordable procedure that can significantly impact their confidence.
We are pleased to offer in-office teeth whitening if you want to see immediate results for an upcoming job interview, wedding, reunion, or another event.
Custom take-home whitening kits allow you to whiten at home when it's convenient for you. We use comfortable digital impressions of your teeth to create whitening trays that fit perfectly and provide even coverage for consistent results.
Dental Veneers
A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or ceramic customized to cover the front surfaces of teeth that show when you smile. We commonly use veneers to conceal cosmetic flaws like broken teeth, uneven spacing, tooth discoloration or staining, and slight tooth misalignment.
The procedure for getting veneers involves two appointments at our Florissant, MO, dental office spaced 2–3 weeks apart. We can customize a few veneers or a full set for a stunning smile makeover.
Dental Bonding
A more affordable alternative to veneers is dental bonding. With this procedure, Dr. Spring uses tooth-colored composite resin to improve a tooth's appearance by altering its shape or size.
Bonding requires little tooth preparation, so it's less invasive than veneers. Because it's a straightforward process, we can often treat more than one tooth during a single appointment.
Invisalign Clear Braces
If you feel self-conscious about gapped, crowded, or crooked teeth, we offer clear aligners like Invisalign to straighten your teeth without metal braces.
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are great for restoring broken and decayed teeth; we also use them for cosmetic purposes. Crowns are tooth-shaped jackets of porcelain that surround a tooth, making them perfect for hiding a badly discolored tooth or one that's oddly shaped or sized.
