Wedding Smile Enhancements

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure involving tooth-colored dental materials bonded to the teeth with adhesive. It is a simple and cost-effective solution to rejuvenate your smile. With dental bonding, your cosmetic dentist can alter the shape, size, color, and length and even fill any gaps in your teeth. The procedure is relatively quick and can be completed in as little as an hour.

However, dental bonding has its downsides. The bonded material can chip, wear over time, and become discolored. It is also not as durable as porcelain restorations and may require touch-ups in the future. Despite these limitations, dental bonding can still be used as a cosmetic veneer to restore the appearance of your teeth. It is an excellent way to achieve a more youthful and natural-looking smile for your special day.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, or “instant orthodontics,” offer a quick solution for minor teeth alignment issues. They are custom-made, ultra-thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells bonded to the teeth, providing a natural and youthful appearance. Porcelain veneers can also replace lost tooth structures and improve the appearance of imperfect teeth.

Getting porcelain veneers usually requires multiple visits, but the results are long-lasting and stunning. The veneers are highly customizable, allowing the cosmetic dentist to alter the teeth’ color, shape, and length to achieve a flawless and natural-looking smile. Moreover, porcelain is highly resistant to staining, meaning the veneers will maintain their original color over time.

Porcelain crowns, on the other hand, are recommended for teeth that need more extensive work, such as those with large restorations or existing decay. Both porcelain veneers and crowns can create a more youthful and natural-looking smile that will last for years to come.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a highly effective solution for restoring missing teeth and creating a youthful, attractive smile. Dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution, whether you need to replace a single tooth or undergo a complete mouth restoration.

Missing teeth or gaps in your smile can be a telltale sign of aging. By contrast, a full set of bright, white teeth exudes youthfulness and vitality. When faced with missing teeth, several options are available, including partial and complete dentures, traditional bridges, and dental implants.

Dental implants are the most natural-looking and feeling option, resembling a natural tooth in appearance and function. They are also easier to maintain than traditional bridges and provide a stable foundation for a natural-looking tooth replacement.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry procedures today and for good reason. It is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile, and it comes in several different forms. These include in-office and at-home whitening with custom trays provided by Dr. Perrone.

Research has repeatedly shown that a whiter smile can make you appear more youthful and attractive, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. People tend to feel better about themselves when they are happy with their appearance, and teeth whitening can be a game-changer. This cosmetic treatment provides patients with a noticeable improvement in their smile with minimal time and cost investment.

Botox

Botox Cosmetic is a non-surgical option that can help you look younger without invasive facial plastic surgery. If you’re looking to reduce the signs of aging, stress, worry, or environmental factors, Botox injections can be an effective solution. Even younger individuals can benefit from this treatment.

Botox injections can help reduce the appearance of frown lines on the forehead, between the eyes, and at the base of the nose, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look. “Crow’s feet,” which are wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, can also be treated with Botox injections, giving you a fresher and more vibrant appearance.

Juvederm

Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid filler, is an excellent option to help restore lost facial volume due to aging. As hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar in our bodies, Juvederm is a safe and effective solution for rejuvenating the skin.

Juvederm has several types available, each designed to target specific facial areas. The Juvederm line features different bonding and hyaluronic acid concentrations to restore lost volume to facial features.

Juvederm injections contain a clear, smooth gel that dissipates over time. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, is usually included in the Juvederm formula to ensure patient comfort.

Dermal fillers, like Juvederm, offer the same cosmetic benefits as a surgical facelift but at a much lower cost and without requiring anesthesia, incisions, or post-treatment downtime. These non-invasive treatments also allow for convenient scheduling options and almost immediate resumption of daily activities.

You can significantly rejuvenate your skin’s condition and appearance with dermal fillers. You’ll enjoy the benefit of immediate results as you can leave the office looking revitalized and refreshed after a 20-30 minute treatment.

Smooth PDO Threads

PDO smooth threads are a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that provides a refreshed and youthful appearance. This non-surgical treatment involves placing smooth, absorbable threads underneath the skin, stimulating and accelerating the production of natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

PDO smooth threads have many long-term benefits, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The results appear gradually over time, providing a natural look that will not give away the treatment. With this non-invasive treatment, you can achieve a revitalized and refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime.

Tooth Reshaping

One of the most straightforward cosmetic dentistry procedures is tooth reshaping. This treatment is typically done without anesthesia and can be as easy as filing down a tooth that appears longer or is slightly misaligned with the others. Despite its simplicity, patients are often amazed at the difference even a minor adjustment can make in their smile.

Gum Contouring

Achieving even gum levels is crucial in creating a beautiful and natural-looking smile. By evening out the gum levels, teeth can appear more evenly sized, and short teeth can be made to look longer.

Gingival Grafting

Gum grafts are a standard treatment option for fixing areas where gum recession has occurred. This procedure can restore lost gum tissue and create a more harmonious and balanced appearance for your smile.

Bite Reclamation

As we age, our teeth tend to lose some height, also known as loss of vertical dimension. This loss can also be caused by acid reflux or teeth grinding (bruxism). However, cosmetic dentistry can help reclaim a person’s bite using dental implants and porcelain crowns. This will increase the vertical height of the teeth and help remove wrinkles around the mouth that develop as we age and our mouth’s sag from this loss of dimension. Thus, cosmetic dentistry can play a crucial role in fixing these issues.
