Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Dr. Mahajan performs several cosmetic dentistry treatments at our office in Stamford. She can recommend the right services to address your specific cosmetic concerns. Examples of some of the cosmetic dentistry treatments and services we offer include:
Teeth Whitening — In-office teeth whitening treatments are the quickest way to brighten a dull smile and eliminate certain types of stains and discolorations. In just one session, our high-quality whitening gel lightens teeth by several shades and the results can last for years.
Porcelain Veneers — Veneers are thin natural-looking laminates or covers that are bonded to the front of teeth to conceal imperfections, such as discolorations, chips, or cracks. Veneers give problem teeth a flawless new appearance. They can be made from different materials, but porcelain is commonly used because it closely matches the look of natural tooth enamel.
Tooth-Colored Fillings — Tooth-colored fillings are a type of dental filling that can be used to treat teeth affected by cavities. A major advantage of these fillings is that they blend in with the natural tooth so they are completely discreet. Additionally, they are composed of a composite material that readily bonds with teeth so fewer undercuts are needed to secure the dental filling, which means more of the natural tooth is preserved.
Cosmetic Bonding — Dental bonding can be used to repair chips and cracks in teeth or to close small gaps between them. A tooth-colored resin material is carefully applied to the problem area. While drying, the resin permanently bonds with the tooth. Once dry, the resin completely blends in with the natural tooth and chips, cracks, or excess spacing will be gone.
