Achieve an Incredible-Looking New Smile
Cosmetic Dentistry Summerville
Teeth Whitening
Bright, white teeth accentuate the best features of your smile. We offer two methods of teeth whitening: in-office whitening and take-home kits. Our in-office procedure takes about an hour and involves the application of a whitening agent, which can lighten your teeth by about eight shades. If you prefer the take-home method, we will create a take-home kit which includes custom-made dental trays and a less-potent whitening agent you can apply for an hour each day for about two weeks to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Contact our cosmetic dentistry practice serving Summerville, South Carolina today to find out how treatments such as teeth whitening can help your smile look fantastic.
Porcelain Veneers
If one or more of your teeth are crooked, discolored, chipped, or cracked, custom-made porcelain shells applied to the front surface of your teeth can provide an attractive and natural-looking solution, and can make a tremendous enhancement in the overall appearance of your smile. Receiving porcelain veneers requires two visits to the dentist: first, the dentist will take a mold of your teeth that will be used to create your custom veneers; one to two weeks later, you will return for a visit during which the veneers will be bonded to your teeth.
Dental Bonding
Like porcelain veneers, dental bonding is a method of concealing minor imperfections in your teeth. Dr. Hess can apply a special tooth-colored resin to your teeth to fill spaces left by wear, cracks, chips, or misalignment. Though applied in small increments, this treatment can have a profound effect on the overall appearance of your smile. Once the bonding resin has been applied to the affected area, it is shaped, hardened, and polished so that it restores the health and appearance of your tooth. Dental bonding may also be used to restore your tooth following a root canal treatment.
