Understanding Aesthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry

When it comes to understanding aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, there are several things you should know.  The most important is that cosmetic dentistry gives you options for how to improve your smile.  If there is something that you do not like about how your smile looks or feels, call (631) 773-1094 to schedule an appointment with Babylon Smiles.  Edward Zeva D.M.D., P.C. will examine you and make recommendations for the best way to address your concerns.

We Improve More than Your Appearance

As a provider of aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry services in Babylon, NY, we can use dental implants, cosmetic bonding, and dental crowns to improve your health in addition to your appearance. This is because in order for your mouth to be in excellent health, you need to have all of your teeth and they must be whole.  This is not always possible naturally but after tooth loss, we can replace your teeth using dental implants.  If your teeth are damaged or some of the enamel is missing we can restore them using dental crowns, cosmetic bonding or veneers. These procedures can greatly improve your health.

Aesthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve Your Smile

If you live in the 11702 area, we encourage you to visit Babylon Smiles.  Edward Zeva D.M.D., P.C. can examine you, review x-rays and make recommendations for procedures that can be used to enhance or transform your smile.  These may include –

• Invisalign®. As an Invisalign® dentist, we can straighten your teeth discreetly.  Using clear plastic aligners instead of traditional metal braces, we can slowly move your teeth into the right position.  The aligners are virtually invisible which means that people will see your teeth when you smile and not orthodontics.  As an Invisalign® dentist we know that our patients also appreciate the ability to control their treatment schedule and continue to eat whatever they want without fear of damage or embarrassment.
• Dental implants. To replace your missing teeth, there is no better solution than dental implants.  Where dentures and dental bridges only replace your teeth, dental implants give you an entirely new root system that your tooth can be secured to.  The results of dental implants are durable, long lasting and natural looking.
• Gum reshaping. If you have a gummy smile because your gums go up too high on your teeth, gum reshaping can help. By cutting away and shaping some of the gum tissue, we can contour your gums and improve the appearance of your smile.  Gum reshaping may also be used after damage or an infection.
• Cosmetic bonding. When you need a cracked or chipped tooth restored in one visit, cosmetic bonding is an excellent way to do so.  We can place, shape and harden cosmetic bonding material quickly and we can even use it to cover dark stains and close small gaps between your teeth.
• Dental crowns. For more extensive damage, you may need dental crowns. A crown is a cap that surrounds a tooth completely.  This way, when you bite down or go to speak, nothing touches the tooth underneath.  Your dental crowns protect it so that you can continue to live life like normal and without tooth loss.
• Veneers. For creating a Hollywood-style smile there is nothing better than dental veneers. A thin porcelain shell, veneers replace your existing enamel for a stunning visual effect.  They can correct virtually all aesthetic issues with great success.
