Cosmetic dentistry services and what they do

1. Professional teeth whitening removes years of organic stains, brightening enamel by several shades of color. Supervised by Dr. Hutson, in-office or at-home whitening uses concentrated hydrogen peroxide and is safe for healthy teeth and gums.

2. Cosmetic contouring lightly sands rough edges, evens tooth length and put the finishing touch on a smile makeover.

3. Composite resin bonding uses a tooth-colored putty to repair gaps, cracks and other flaws. Your dentist adds it in layers and cures each with a special blue light for a durable finish. Composite resin also restores tooth decay. This modern material a wonderful alternative to dark amalgam fillings.

4. Porcelain veneers cover aesthetic defects with a custom-made layer of thin ceramic. Veneers also strengthen weak enamel.

5. Porcelain crowns shore up decayed and heavily restored teeth. Covering a tooth to the gum line, these tooth-shaped restorations look natural, restoring color, bite and alignment. Crowns restore dental implants and anchor bridgework, too--tooth replacements which may be included in more extensive smile makeovers.
