Cosmetic Dentistry

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is an oral health subspecialty that uses whitening treatments, restorations, and orthodontic appliances to transform your smile. 

Your smile is one of the first things others notice about you, so it’s important you’re proud of it. Cosmetic dentistry can address minor imperfections and help you feel your best. 

What services does cosmetic dentistry provide?

Fremaux Dental Care offers various cosmetic dental services, including:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening brightens your smile by removing stains and discoloration.

Fremaux Dental Care offers in-office chairside teeth whitening with Philips ZOOM! and take-home teeth whitening kits. 

Tooth-colored fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are a safer and more natural-looking alternative to amalgam fillings. They’re made of composite resin (which doesn’t contain mercury) and blend in with your teeth. 

Porcelain veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the surfaces of your front teeth. They mask minor imperfections, like chips and cracks, and make your smile appear more balanced and symmetrical. 

Orthodontics

Orthodontics uses braces or removable oral aligners to straighten your teeth or jaw. Fremaux Dental Care offers several types of orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign®, SureSmile®, and traditional metal braces. 

Dental implants

Dental implants are small titanium posts inserted into your empty tooth sockets. They provide a base for dental restorations, like crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures. 

Cosmetic bonding

Bonding uses tooth-colored materials, like composite resin, to repair chips, cracks, and other minor enamel damage. The bonding material blends in with your teeth, so no one will know you’ve had work done. 

Your dentist may recommend one cosmetic procedure or a combination of several, depending on your goals and needs. 

What type of cosmetic dentistry will benefit me?

Only a qualified cosmetic dentist can determine the type of treatment that will most benefit you. After an oral exam, a discussion of your goals, and a series of digital X-rays, your Fremaux Dental Care provider can make personalized treatment recommendations.

Are the results of cosmetic dentistry permanent?

Most cosmetic dentistry treatments are long-lasting, but they aren’t necessarily permanent. For example, teeth whitening provides stunning results for 4-6 months on average,* but you need routine treatments to maintain your results. Dental restorations, like crowns and bridges, last 10-12 years*, but wear down over time and eventually need to be replaced.
