Cosmetic Dental Care

At Mt. Angel Dental, Dr. Weishoff offers Cosmetic Dental Care services that help whiten and brighten your teeth. These cosmetic dental services also help to enhance your appearance, smile, self-esteem, and confidence. 

Our Cosmetic Dental Care services include:

• Veneers
• Dental Bonding 
• Teeth Whitening

Veneers are tooth-colored shells that covers the front side of your teeth. Veneers can be used to treat different cosmetic concerns, including chipped, broken, discolored, or smaller-than-average teeth. Usually, your dentist makes a model of your teeth and uses it to craft veneers that fit your teeth perfectly. Before veneers can be added to your teeth, a small amount of enamel has to be removed.

Veneers are often made from porcelain or resin composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth. The type of veneer you choose can depend on cost, the time needed to fit the veneers, their longevity, and your dentist’s recommendation. Once a veneer is placed, you will get years of enjoyment with your newer, whiter, brighter smile.

Dental bonding is a process by which a tooth-colored composite resin (plastic) is applied to a decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored tooth. This can help change the appearance of your tooth to help make it longer or change its shape or color. After the resin is molded and smoothed into its proper shape, the material is hardened with ultraviolet light. Once the material hardens, your dentist may further trim and shape it, and polish the material until it matches the sheen and color of your natural teeth.

In the past, a chipped, stained, or cracked tooth would mean getting a crown. However, today, bonding offers a quick and easy solution for such dental concerns. Dental bonding provides a new treatment option while being conservative, inexpensive, and relatively easy to implement.

Your teeth tend to become darker, yellower, or stained as you age. Lifestyle habits, such as smoking, drinking wine, coffee, or tea, or eating foods such as red sauce, oranges, and other foods, can change the color of your teeth. 

Teeth whitening is especially effective for patients who have a yellowish hue, but not as effective for people who have brownish or grayish-hued teeth. 

It’s no surprise that in the United States, teeth whitening is one of the most popular methods to enhance your smile. It is a very cost-effective and safe way to improve your smile. A bright smile can definitely boost your confidence. You’ll be amazed at the difference one teeth whitening treatment can make.
