Cosmetic dentistry services offered in Ann Arbor
Our Ann Arbor dental practice offers a full range of cosmetic dental services, from a simple teeth whitening to in-depth restorations. We take the time to get to know you and your preferences so we can help create the smile you’re looking for.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures; in many cases, it is all that is needed to give patients their desired look. This process lightens your natural teeth and can provide a brighter landscape for other cosmetic procedures, if desired.
This simple cosmetic procedure uses an impression of the patient’s teeth to make custom trays for whitening. The patient puts a whitening gel in the tray and uses it for 45 minutes a day, and can expect to see visible improvement after 7-10 days of use.
Veneers
Veneers can be used to convert asymmetrical, discolored, and worn down teeth for a healthier and younger-looking smile. In the hands of an experienced cosmetic dentist, this procedure can convert unattractive enamel, improve spacing, and balance shapes and proportions.
At DGY Dentistry Ann Arbor, our dentists use custom-made porcelain veneers to create an attractive and natural look. These veneers can be made to cover large portions of the tooth, or provide more strength in a minimally invasive way by covering just the edges or a smaller area of the teeth.
Cosmetic gum shaping
Cosmetic gum shaping improves the aesthetics of gums by contouring the shape of the tissue and lengthening the teeth for a more balanced and youthful-looking smile.
Gum reshaping can be a standalone procedure or done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures like porcelain work. Our Ann Arbor cosmetic dentists use new microsurgical techniques for gum grafting that are gentle on the patient and avoid using the palate as a donor site.
Crowns
In cosmetic dentistry, a dental crown is used to cover an unattractive tooth and create a fuller, more balanced smile. These crowns are custom-made for each patient out of highly refined porcelain.
Dental implants
Dental implants are a popular solution for achieving a natural-looking smile after losing a tooth or multiple teeth. This tooth loss can be caused by advanced gum disease, impact to the tooth, or a failed root canal. Some patients may also consider modifying their existing dental implants if they were unhappy with the results of a previous dental implant surgery.
At DGY Dentistry Ann Arbor, our dentists are highly trained and experienced in the surgical, restorative, and prosthodontic (dental prosthetic) aspects of implant dentistry. In most cases, we can provide every aspect of the dental implant process, setting the stage for attractive and stable long-term results. Our porcelain crowns are custom-made and highly refined in a local lab to ensure only quality materials are used.
Cosmetic dentistry FAQs
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry focused on the appearance of the teeth and smile.
Difference between cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry
In some cases, restorative dentistry may also be needed. Restorative dentistry is used for reconstruction in the mouth. It is used to fix dental issues such as bite problems, missing or chipped teeth, and thinning bone, with a focus on preventing or treating decay.
Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, is done for appearances, to create a more beautiful smile. These procedures can help create a fuller smile, correct worn or discolored teeth, and correct spacing issues.
Although these forms of dentistry are used for different reasons, there is an overlap between procedures. Dental work like veneers, crowns, and implants can be considered both restorative and cosmetic, depending on if it is medically necessary. Our dentists will explain any reconstructive dental work that may be needed.
What is the difference between a dentist and a cosmetic dentist?
In the United States cosmetic dentistry is not recognized as a specialty, so a “cosmetic dentist” is simply a self-identifier used by dentists who focus not only on the function, but the aesthetics of dental work.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
What cosmetic dentistry costs will depend on your location, dentist, procedures being done, and whether or not your insurance covers cosmetic dental procedures. Our Ann Arbor dental office provides transparent payment options so there are no surprises with cost.
Is cosmetic dentistry right for me?
Whether cosmetic dentistry is right for you depends on your current dental health and goals for your appearance. In some cases, restorative dentistry may be needed to address oral health problems before cosmetic procedures can be done. Our cosmetic dentists can help you determine the best steps for your smile in a no-pressure consultation.
