Cosmetic Dentistry Cosmetic dentistry has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few decades. At Dental Works, we specialize in several cosmetic services aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth and overall smile. From minor cosmetic changes to full-tooth restorations, we have got you covered!Teeth WhiteningOne of the most common complaints we receive involves the brightness of our patients' smiles. For this reason, we offer professional teeth whitening treatment. Teeth whitening is one of the most basic and cost-effective ways to improve your smile. Stains from certain foods, drinks, medications, and personal habits, also known as extrinsic stains, are easy to remove with a bleaching solution. However, many store-bought bleaching products leave people dissatisfied with the results. Because we are trained professionals, we use a bleaching agent with a much higher concentration than store-bought alternatives. Our whitening treatment could make your teeth up to eight shades brighter in just a single appointment! Porcelain CrownA dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that completely covers the visible portion of a damaged or decayed tooth. In previous years, a dental crown was fabricated using a gold or silver amalgam. These days, porcelain is usually the material of choice. Porcelain is a ceramic compound that mimics the light-reflective properties of natural enamel. It can also be textured and color-matched to your existing teeth. Thanks to porcelain and other ceramics, crowns can also be used to fix the aesthetics of an unsightly tooth. InvisalignCrooked teeth not only affect the aesthetics of your smile, but they can also be detrimental to your oral health. For instance, crowded teeth can be much more difficult to properly clean, leaving you at a greater risk for developing tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Luckily, people in need of orthodontic care have more options than ever before. We specialize in Invisalign® clear aligner treatment. Invisalign is designed for patients who want a discrete and effective alternative to traditional metal braces. Dental VeneersA dental veneer is a razor-thin shell that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. Like our dental crowns, our veneers are typically made from porcelain. Veneers can be used to fix teeth that are severely discolored, worn down, chipped or broken, misaligned, uneven, irregularly shaped, or even gapped. During the procedure, we have to remove a small amount of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneer. For this reason, the veneer procedure is considered irreversible. Dental BondingPatients looking for a less-invasive and more cost-effective solution may benefit from dental bonding. Dental bonding involves the application of composite resin, a putty-like material, to the surface of an aesthetically displeasing tooth. For example, dental bonding is an excellent solution for minor chips or cracks. During the procedure, the composite resin will be color-matched to the existing shade of your enamel, making it virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your tooth. Why Is Cosmetic Dentistry So Effective?An otherwise beautiful smile can be tarnished by one tooth with a cosmetic issue. Stained or discolored teeth, chips and cracks, missing teeth, and crooked teeth can cause feelings of self-consciousness when it's time to pose for pictures or meet new people. Fortunately, modern dentistry provides our cosmetic dentists with a number of options, like Invisalign® clear aligners, so that you can restore the luster and integrity of your smile. Benefits of cosmetic dentistry include: Improved AestheticsCosmetic dentistry can address just about any concern a patient may have concerning the appearance of their teeth so that they can enjoy life with a beautiful smile. Healthier BiteWhether you are building up and strengthening worn teeth or straightening your teeth with Invisalign, cosmetic dentistry allows you to enjoy the benefits of a better-functioning bite.

This allows our cosmetic dentists to provide patients with the longest-lasting and best possible results.

What Are Some Common Goals?Cosmetic treatment plans from our Scottsdale, AZ, dentistry practice, serving greater Phoenix, are custom-tailored to suit the needs of each patient and can offer a number of benefits to the health and appearance of your smile. That said, we often hear of two primary goals during our first visits with patients: Patients also want to be informed about pricing, including the cost of porcelain veneers. We can discuss all of these concerns during a personal consultation. A Straighter SmileMany patients with crooked teeth would love a straighter smile but don't want to wear braces.
