Transform Your Smile With Your Cosmetic Dentist in Burlington NC

A tooth-colored composite resin may be used to repair chips, cracks, small gaps, and discolored teeth. Composite resin is durable dental plastic, mixed with tiny glass particles for a natural, almost clear appearance. Essentially, composite resin bonding material mimics tooth enamel.

During this procedure, Dr. Monahan will apply composite resin to the front surface of a tooth to achieve the desired appearance. Composite resin will be shaped, smoothed, and polished after it is applied. As a result, concealing a variety of minor cosmetic imperfections without altering the natural structures of the tooth.

Porcelain veneers, or dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that permanently attach to the front surface of the tooth. Veneers conceal imperfections, such as tooth color, shape, size, and tooth alignment. Even better, our CEREC® technology provides the ability to custom design and make the veneer on the same day.

To emphasize, we have eliminated the long wait time by investing in advanced dental technology. Now, Dr. Monahan can design, fabricate, and permanently affix custom-made veneers all our patients in just one office visit. Even better, no more impressions.

Crown lengthening also known as gum contouring or gum lift – is a procedure to expose natural teeth covered by excess gum tissue, also known as a gummy smile. Dr. Monahan uses a safe, precise, and minimally invasive soft tissue laser to reshape gums. Simultaneously, the dental laser removes excess gum tissue and seals the gums. As a result, laser dental treatments eliminate the need for stitches.

A gummy smile is the most common dental condition that a dentist treats with a crown lengthening procedure. Generally, patients experience few, if any significant side effects from gum contouring, and very little downtime. Patients with a gummy smile have excess gum tissue that makes their teeth look shorter. An uneven gum line can also cause teeth to appear in different sizes.

The Opalescence® whitening gel that we use could whiten your teeth up to five shades whiter. Whereas, over-the-counter (OTC) whitening gel may only improve the shade of teeth by one or two shades. Meanwhile, your results will depend on other factors, such as the type of stains or previous restorations.

You can have custom teeth whitening trays custom-made at our Burlington, NC office. First, you come into our office to take impressions. Next, you will pick up your custom-made teeth whitening trays. Finally, you wear the trays as recommended to achieve a brighter smile.

If you need multiple cosmetic treatments to reach your smile goal, our doctors may recommend a smile makeover. Your smile makeover may include porcelain dental veneers, SureSmile, gum contouring, dental bonding, teeth whitening, and other restorative or prosthetic procedures like Invisalign aligners.

Combined, multiple cosmetic dental treatments can improve the form, function and aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Monahan will develop a personalized cosmetic treatment plan to deliver the smile you desire.

Cosmetic dentistry can improve more than the appearance of your smile. Depending on the treatment you choose, it may also strengthen damaged teeth, improve dental function, and make your teeth easier to clean.

Choosing a cosmetic dentist involves more than comparing treatment prices. Look for a dentist who carefully evaluates your oral health, listens to your concerns, and clearly explains the benefits and limitations of each treatment option.

Important factors to consider include:

• Experience with the cosmetic procedure you are considering
• Examples of previous cosmetic dentistry results
• Technology used for diagnosis, design, and treatment planning
• A focus on natural-looking results that complement your features
• Clear explanations of cost, treatment time, maintenance, and alternatives
• The ability to combine cosmetic and restorative treatment when needed
• A personalized approach rather than the same treatment for every patient
