Cosmetic Dentistry, Winston-Salem NC

Yes. Even though the primary function of many cosmetic dentistry procedures are for aesthetic purposes, there are many health benefits such as correcting bite issues, protecting weak enamel and restoring functionality.

Anybody who wishes to improve their overall oral health and appearance is a good candidate for a cosmetic dental procedure.

If you have any of the following, you might decide to opt for a cosmetic dental solution.

• a missing tooth
• cracked teeth
• discolored teeth
• misaligned teeth
• chipped teeth
• uneven gum line

Luna Dental specializes in many procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, dentures and clear aligner therapy to improve overall oral aesthetics, so don’t hesitate to give our team a call to discuss your preferences.

Clear Aligner Therapy is an orthodontic procedure that utilizes clear transparent aligners to straighten teeth.

It’s an alternative solution to traditional braces to fix crowded teeth, over bites, gaps and misalignments.

It consists of an initial consultation involving x-rays and scans, the creation of a treatment plan with a 3D digital model and custom-made aligners which then must be worn for approximately 20-22 hours per day with scheduled check-ups to ensure the treatment plan is on track and to made any necessary adjustments.

If you think that clear aligner therapy sounds like the solution for you and if you’d like to find out more about how the treatment plan at Luna Dental works, give us a call and we can set up a consultation.

Both crowns and veneers are used to improve the function and appearance of teeth but have slightly different purposes.

Veneers:

• are designed for aesthetic benefits
• are made of composite resin or porcelain
• used primarily to improve natural appearance

Crowns:

• offer structural and physical benefits
• are made of ceramic, porcelain, metal, or porcelain-fused-to-metal
• used to protect, strengthen and restore damaged or weakened teeth

Tooth bonding involves the application of a composite resin material directly onto a tooth, which is then shaped and polished to match your natural enamel. The process typically includes:

• Lightly etching the surface of the tooth to ensure proper adhesion

• Applying and sculpting the composite resin to fill or correct the area

• Curing the resin with a special light

• Polishing the repaired tooth so it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile

Because we work with your choice of shade and sculpt the resin during the visit, the result can look very natural and feel comfortable.
