Thanks to a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments and procedures, improving your smile is easier than ever. Your Chevy Chase, MD, dentist, Dr. Anett John, can help you decide which treatment is right for you.
Transform your smile with one of these options
During your visit to the Chevy Chase, MD, dental office, your dentist may recommend one or more of these cosmetic dentistry treatments:
- Veneers: Veneers keep common tooth imperfections hidden under a thin layer of ceramic. The tooth-shaped shells are attached to the teeth with dental cement and last 10 to 15 years or longer. Adding one or more veneers can help you change the shape of an unattractive tooth, hide chips and cracks, conceal discolorations, close slight gaps and lengthen short teeth. Veneers can also be used to brighten your entire smile.
- Snap-On Smile: Snap-On-Smile offers an inexpensive way to change your smile. Also called snap-on veneers, these new "teeth" fit over your existing teeth. Snap-On-Smile may be a good choice if you have stained or chipped teeth or feel self-conscious about your crooked or missing teeth. The restorations last three to five years and are removed before you sleep or brush your teeth.
- Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening is a simple solution if you have a dull stained style. During your whitening session, hydrogen peroxide whitening gel seeps into tiny pores in your tooth enamel, breaking apart and removing the pigments that cause stains. Whitening can lighten your teeth by as much as eight shades and lasts two to three years or longer.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants offer the only permanent way to restore missing teeth. Small titanium posts are implanted in your jaw bone during the first phase of the dental implant process. These posts bond to the bone and become the new roots for your teeth. Once the implants are securely attached, your dentist connects them to dental crowns, restorations that replace the visible parts of missing teeth. Dental implants offer excellent biting power and may last your entire life with proper care.
