Why Choose Allen Smile Design for Cosmetic Dentistry?

Porcelain Veneers

When it comes to comprehensive cosmetics, porcelain veneers and Lumineers offer a level of detail and versatility that’s hard to match. Traditional porcelain veneers are designed to sit flush over existing teeth, hiding any and all imperfections in the process. However, they also require removal of enamel to place. With Lumineers, you can accomplish the same goal without having to remove enamel! It’s also ideal if, for any reason, you decide that treatment isn’t right for you.

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

While crowns are important for saving and protecting damaged teeth, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your smile’s appearance in the process. Whether you’re getting a basic crown placed or you need complex restorations, we make sure to utilize tooth-colored materials like porcelain to get the job done. This ensures that your smile looks the same throughout and that your teeth remain protected for many years to come! We’ll make sure you are satisfied with your new crown and make adjustments as needed.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Whether you want to get your teeth whitened quickly in the comfort of our dental office or you’d like to do so on your own time at home, Dr. Lewis offers both options for you to consider. Both treatments utilize Zoom! Whitening, a powerful and effective method for making teeth up to 10 shades whiter! If you whiten in our dental office, expect treatment to take about one hour. If you whiten at home, simply wear your custom-made whitening trays for a set period of time per day (typically about 30 minutes) over the next two weeks to achieve the same results!

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

When there are minor chips and cracks in your tooth enamel, you might not want to pursue treatments that are particularly costly or unnecessary. During your exam, we’ll recommend cosmetic bonding if we believe it’s suitable for your needs. With tooth-colored composite resin, we can apply, sculpt, and bond the material directly to your teeth in order to hide chips, cracks, stains, and even minor gaps to make your smile look more even overall.

Gum Recontouring

While cosmetic dentistry may often focus on teeth, your gums can also influence your smile’s appearance. For example, if you wish that your gum tissue did not cover your teeth as much as they do, or you wish that your gum line was more even overall, we can use a soft tissue laser to carefully and precisely remove excess gum tissue with relative ease. This makes your smile look fuller and more visible, and thanks to laser technology, we can dramatically reduce your aftercare symptoms.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

If you wish you could straighten teeth without the use of metal brackets and wires, then you’ll find Invisalign’s clear aligner technology to be a game-changer. These custom-made clear trays are worn for about two weeks at a time. We create your clear aligner series at the beginning, then ask you to visit us once every six weeks to confirm they are straightening your teeth as planned. It’s perfect if you want to address mild to moderate levels of crooked teeth or address a relapse after a previous orthodontic treatment.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Do you want to transform your smile with cosmetic dentistry in Allen? Our team of top-tier experts is ready to do what it takes to achieve your dream look. However, we understand you may want to know more details before moving forward with the process. Getting all your questions answered will help you determine whether or not this solution is right for you. At Allen Smile Design, we want you to be as well-informed as possible, which is why we’ve decided to answer some frequently asked questions below! For personal assistance, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?

Of course! As long as you’re under the care of a trained dental professional, cosmetic dental treatments are considered perfectly safe. However, you should keep in mind that not every treatment is right for everyone. During your consultation, we’ll carefully examine your mouth to determine which procedures are right for your smile. If you have certain underlying oral health issues (i.e., decay or infection), you’ll need to address them first before moving forward with any cosmetic procedure. Otherwise, you could put your grin at risk of further complications.

How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?

The truth is, almost any healthy adult could benefit from cosmetic dentistry in Allen. If you’re not feeling very confident in your smile, you might be considering improving it with our services. Ideal treatment candidates are those that tend to suffer from the following:

  • Staining or Discoloration – Over-the-counter products aren’t always effective at removing tooth stains, but professional whitening can get the job done!
  • Chipping or Cracking – You can ask about hiding damaged teeth with veneers or dental crowns.
  • Dental Misalignment – Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that can fix even the most crooked teeth.

Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?

You may have heard the phrase “beauty is pain”, but that doesn’t apply to cosmetic dentistry. Our team will make sure your treatment is as comfortable as possible! Luckily, most cosmetic dental work is non-invasive (i.e., bonding and whitening), meaning you shouldn’t even require a local anesthetic.

It’s worth noting that more invasive treatments like veneers require numbing beforehand since your dentist will need to alter your natural enamel. Even so, it shouldn’t be painful! If you’re still feeling particularly nervous, you can ask about sedation dentistry.

How Do I Choose a Cosmetic Dentist?

Believe it or not, the American Dental Association (ADA) does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty. For that reason alone, it can be hard to find a dentist for your smile needs. When choosing a provider, you should be mindful of factors like their training, experience, reviews, and technology. That way, you can feel confident in your decision to receive treatment from them!
