Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in Hollywood today. These thin ceramic shells are made to resemble perfectly white enamel and fit directly over the front of the teeth, masking any imperfection in the process. With this one treatment, we can take care of stains, chips, cracks, gaps, oddly shaped teeth, and even crooked teeth all at the same time. And, the procedure only takes two appointments! You can get just one for a minor touch-up or a complete set to transform your smile.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Modern-day dental materials give us the ability to repair damaged teeth in a way that is much more aesthetically-friendly than simply placing a gold or silver crown over a tooth. We can now create crowns and bridges made of 100% dental porcelain, which can be sculpted and shaded to perfectly recreate a natural tooth’s appearance in every way, even down to enamel’s slight translucency. In the end, this is the kind of dental work that ends up looking nothing like dental work!

At-Home Teeth Whitening
Tired of wasting money on underpowered take-home whitening products that don’t deliver noticeable results? If so, we can send you home with a custom-made set of mouth trays as well as a bleaching gel that’s much stronger than anything you’ll find in stores. Simply use our kit for about two weeks while you surf the web or binge your favorite show, and it will easily make your teeth 6-8 shades whiter! Better yet, you can always use the kit in the future whenever you need a minor touch-up (though results can easily last for months or years at a time).

Invisalign® Clear Braces
With Invisalign, we’re able to beautifully straighten crooked, crowded, and gapped teeth without using bulky metal brackets and wires. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners to slowly and gently shift the teeth into the perfect positions. They are so subtle looking that no one will notice you’re wearing Invisalign unless you tell them, letting you smile with confidence throughout treatment. Plus, you can even take them off whenever it’s time to eat or brush your teeth for maximum convenience!

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
If you’re unhappy with the current appearance of your smile, there are a variety of cosmetic solutions available that can help you meet your smile goals. However, it pays to be well-informed, so we’re here to help! Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we receive about cosmetic dentistry in Groveport. If you don’t see the information that you’ve been looking for below, don’t worry. Give us a call, and we’d be happy to answer your questions and get you started with an initial consultation.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Expensive?
Many people associate cosmetic dentistry with expensive treatments, but this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. Its pricey reputation likely stems from the fact that dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic treatments, so you’ll typically have to pay out of pocket. Improving your smile might seem costly at first, but it’s important to consider the investment you’re making in your self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
As long as you’re under the care of a trained professional, most cosmetic dental treatments are safe for most people. However, not every treatment is right for every patient. That’s why your dentist examines your mouth beforehand and gives you an honest assessment of which procedures may or may not be right for you. Some cosmetic services may pose a risk if an underlying oral health issue isn’t treated first. For instance, placing a veneer over a decayed tooth may make the decay more difficult to treat later on. These issues must be addressed ahead of time.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you aren’t 100% confident in the smile you see in the mirror, you could most likely benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Stained or discolored teeth often can’t be fixed with over-the-counter whitening products, but professional whitening can get the job done. Chipped or cracked teeth can often be restored with a veneer or dental crown. If you would like to look more youthful, cosmetic dentistry can help with this too. The best way to find out if cosmetic dentistry is the best option for you is by scheduling a consultation with us.
Does Cosmetic Dentistry Hurt?
Many patients are hesitant to commit to treatment because they are worried that it will be painful. We do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible for the duration of your treatment. Many cosmetic treatments, like teeth whitening, are noninvasive and don’t even require a local anesthetic. For treatments like veneers and dental crowns, where the tooth needs to be reshaped, your mouth will be numbed ahead of time. You may experience some residual soreness and sensitivity for a few days afterward, but this should be mild and temporary.
