Taking care of your smile isn’t just about proper dental care habits. It’s also about having a smile that looks good and instills confidence. This is why Dr. Olivia Hart and the team at Virginia Biological Dentistry speak highly of cosmetic dentistry. This area of dentistry focuses on the appearance of the teeth and gums and spans a wide variety of services. When you visit Dr. Hart, you may be introduced to a large selection of treatments designed to transform your smile, including:
Clear orthodontics
Patients realign natural teeth with clear plastic aligners instead of traditional metal bracket and wire braces. Both teenagers and adults love this alternative and enjoy the ability to transform their smile without the embarrassment of conventional orthodontics.
Teeth bleaching
Whitening the smile with over-the-counter whitening products often produces poor results. Instead, Dr. Hart prefers to provide patients with effective, professional-grade products that offer stunning, long-term results.
Dental crowns
Crowns are porcelain restorations bonded over natural teeth to protect them. They can be used for both cosmetic and general dentistry purposes.
Dental implants
Tooth replacement with dental implants is the gold standard in restorative dentistry. Implant-supported crowns can last a lifetime and are popular among patients who want a permanent, no-fuss solution to missing teeth.
Porcelain veneers
Dr. Hart can cover imperfections easily with porcelain veneers. These ceramic restorations are bonded over the front of natural teeth for instant cosmetic enhancement.
Dental bridges
Bridges are an alternative to dentures and dental implants for tooth replacement. Crowns and pontics or false teeth are fused together to create the bridge, which is then bonded over adjacent anchor teeth for support.
Cosmetic resin bonding
Bonding covers stained, broken, and chipped teeth, but is less appealing to many patients when compared to porcelain veneers. While fast and economical, cosmetic resin bonding is susceptible to staining and usually lasts a few years.
Dentures
Virginia Biological Dentistry offers full and partial dentures for patients who want a removable or temporary solution to tooth loss.
