Cosmetic Dentistry in Downers Grove
A confident and healthy smile is something that most people want and have turned to cosmetic dentistry procedures to straighten, brighten, reshape, and even repair teeth. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving a person's smile and has become increasingly popular and affordable in recent years!
At Webster Dental, we use the latest cosmetic dentistry procedures and techniques, to help you achieve a better smile and keep it beautiful for years to come.
Teeth Whitening
If your teeth have become yellow due to coffee or tea stains, bad hygiene, or poor food choices, tooth whitening may be right for you. Tooth whitening is defined as removing stains so your teeth are clean and as white as they can be. But when even more whitening is desired, tooth bleaching is used to actually alter the natural color of your teeth making them whiter than ever.
Webster Dental uses the ZOOM!® teeth whitening method. This specialized procedure has been proven to whiten teeth up to 10 shades in as little as an hour and requires no messy at-home whitening strips! If you’re been hiding your smile because you are embarrassed by yellowed, stained, or discolored teeth – a whiter smile can be yours in as little as one appointment.
White Fillings
Until recently there were no alternatives to having a mouthful of metal! Although metal amalgam works well as a tooth filling material, it does little to add beauty to your smile. And the larger the silver dental filling, the more noticeable it is.
Thankfully, advancements in modern dentistry have given us new options for dental restoration. Tooth-colored dental fillings are now a great substitute for silver fillings and offer a natural-looking alternative. Moreover, tooth-colored fillings can be structured to resemble your real teeth.
Just like any dental procedure, tooth-colored dental fillings require excellent dental care to limit wear and tear. Regular dental visits are necessary to maintain your dental work and to check for signs of further tooth decay. Or course, with teeth, that are beautiful, you’ll want to take the best care of them.
If you are like most patients, you’ve considered several cosmetic dentistry treatments to help whiten, straighten, or reshape your teeth. But, for a total smile makeover, natural-looking Dental Veneers may be the fastest way to create a more beautiful new smile.
Dental Bonding
When you think of a beautiful smile, you probably think of bright, white, straight teeth. With dental bonding, you have one of the easiest, fastest, and most affordable cosmetic dental treatments at your disposal. Webster Dental uses dental bonding as a modern method for repairing your stained, cracked, or chipped teeth.
Another benefit of dental bonding is the time it saves. Unlike veneers and dental crowns, a dental bonding procedure is performed in our office and generally takes just one visit!
Dental bonding is a process where we attach or “bond” materials directly to your tooth in order to change its color and shape. The natural tooth enamel is then fused together with bonding materials such as porcelain and resins to create a strong structure that looks and feels like your original tooth.
Nonetheless, there are no tricks to caring for your teeth - bonded or not. Good oral hygiene is all it takes. That means brushing at least twice a day, flossing at least once a day, maintaining a nutritious diet, and visiting your dentist regularly.
Dental Veneers
If you are like most patients, you’ve considered several cosmetic dentistry treatments to help whiten, straighten, or reshape your teeth. But, for a total smile makeover, natural-looking dental veneers may be the fastest way to create a more beautiful new smile.
Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are attached to your existing teeth. Dr. Webster can match them to your natural or your desired tooth color for a uniform, authentic appearance. Porcelain veneers are also highly stain-resistant and may actually strengthen your natural teeth.
