Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Every smile has unique characteristics, and the right treatment depends on your specific concerns and goals. Dr. Borton offers a range of options that address different cosmetic issues, from minor imperfections to more significant changes.
1. Professional Teeth Whitening
One of the most requested cosmetic procedures, teeth whitening delivers quick, dramatic results.
- Removes deep stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and aging.
- Uses stronger, more effective bleaching agents than store-bought kits.
- Produces a brighter, more even tone that lasts longer.
Unlike over-the-counter options, our professional whitening treatments penetrate deep into tooth enamel to achieve a noticeably whiter, more confident smile.
2. Porcelain Veneers
For those seeking a total smile makeover, porcelain veneers can completely transform your appearance.
- Thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of your teeth.
- Correct chips, cracks, severe stains, minor gaps, and slight misalignment.
- Crafted from durable ceramic that mimics the natural translucency of enamel.
The result? A flawless, natural-looking smile that still feels like you.
3. Dental Bonding
If you’re looking for a faster, more conservative fix, dental bonding is an excellent option.
- Uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, fill gaps, and reshape teeth.
- Sculpted directly on your tooth by Dr. Kyle Borton, then hardened with a special light.
- Typically completed in under an hour per tooth.
Bonding provides a seamless, affordable enhancement that blends perfectly with your natural teeth.
Smile Makeovers for Complete Transformations
Sometimes a single treatment isn’t enough to achieve your dream smile. That’s where comprehensive cosmetic dentistry comes in. Dr. Borton can combine multiple procedures into a coordinated treatment plan that addresses all your concerns at once.
A smile makeover might include whitening to brighten your teeth, veneers to correct shape and alignment issues, and gum contouring to create better proportions. The process starts with a detailed consultation where you discuss your goals and Dr. Borton evaluates your oral health. Digital imaging and intraoral cameras help visualize potential results before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
These complete transformations can dramatically boost your confidence and change how you interact with the world. Patients often tell us they smile more freely, feel better in photos, and even notice improvements in their professional and social lives after cosmetic treatment.
The Connection Between Beauty and Function
Good cosmetic dentistry doesn’t just make your smile prettier—it also considers how your teeth work together. Dr. Borton ensures that any cosmetic treatment maintains or improves your bite, speech, and overall oral function. A beautiful smile that causes problems down the road isn’t really a solution.
For example, when placing veneers, Dr. Kyle Borton carefully evaluates your bite to prevent issues like jaw pain or uneven wear. Cosmetic crowns not only restore the appearance of damaged teeth but also protect them from further harm. This dual focus on aesthetics and function means your enhanced smile will last longer and feel comfortable.
What to Expect During Your Cosmetic Consultation
Your journey toward a better smile begins with an honest conversation about what bothers you and what you hope to achieve. Dr. Borton takes time to listen to your concerns and understand your vision. Some patients want dramatic changes, while others prefer subtle improvements that look like they were born with perfect teeth.
During the consultation at Regency Family Dental, we’ll examine your teeth and gums, discuss which treatments align with your goals, and provide a realistic timeline and cost estimate. Digital X-rays help identify any underlying issues that need attention before cosmetic work begins. After all, a healthy foundation is essential for lasting cosmetic results.
We also consider factors like your facial features, skin tone, and personality when designing your new smile. The goal isn’t to give everyone the same “perfect” teeth—it’s to create a smile that enhances your unique appearance and feels authentically yours.
Maintaining Your New Smile
Cosmetic dentistry treatments can last many years with proper care. Dr. Borton provides specific instructions based on your procedures, but some general principles apply to most treatments. Regular brushing and flossing remain essential, as does keeping up with professional cleanings at our Shelby Township office.
Certain habits can shorten the lifespan of cosmetic work. Chewing on ice, biting fingernails, or using your teeth as tools can chip veneers or bonding. If you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard protects your investment. Limiting staining foods and beverages helps keep whitened teeth bright longer.
The technology we use, including digital imaging and precise shade matching, ensures your cosmetic work integrates perfectly with your natural teeth. These tools help Dr. Kyle Borton deliver results that meet your expectations and stand the test of time.
