Cosmetic Dentistry in North Haven, CT
Dr. Joe and Dr. Ted are true craftsmen when it comes to esthetic dental procedures. While the term "cosmetic" may suggest that these services are used only to improve esthetics, that is far from the truth. Our clinical staff is extensively trained to use these services not only to improve appearance, but enhance the function and longevity of your teeth as well. Some applications for cosmetic dental services include repairing a malformed bite or crooked teeth, treating an injury, or simply brightening the shade of a dull smile. They also can be used to change the overall shape of teeth—from teeth that are too long or short, have gaps, or need to be recontoured to better fit the overall facial expression of the individual. Whatever the reason, we are happy to offer an array of cosmetic services to improve the confidence in your smile.
Direct Bonding
A convenient and cost-effective solution in which tooth-colored material is used to close gaps, change tooth color, or repair chipped teeth.
Contouring & Reshaping
A fairly simple procedure that is used to fix minor imperfections like crooked, cracked, misshapen, or overlapping teeth. The dentist will use a drill or laser to gently remove some of your teeth's enamel. Our dentists will ensure that the shape and length of your teeth align to create a better functioning bite and more esthetic appearance.
Veneers
Ever wonder how celebrities always seem to have a perfect smile? Porcelain veneers are perhaps the most renowned cosmetic dental procedure. If you're considering a smile makeover, veneers offer a comprehensive solution. Think of a permanent contact lens, but for your teeth! A procedure in which ultra-thin coatings are placed over the visible surfaces of teeth. The porcelain material is designed to enhance the natural color of your teeth while preserving their brightness and durability throughout the years. We have used veneers to reshape entire smiles and correct unevenly spaced, crooked, chipped, oddly shaped or discolored teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Start your journey to a brighter, more beautiful smile! Over time, the darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging and diet. This causes your smile to appear stained or discolored. We offer both in-office and at-home whitening services to match your busy schedule.
