Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made, and designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are an excellent solution for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their smile by addressing issues such as discolored, chipped, or misaligned teeth. Veneers can also close gaps between teeth and correct minor bite-related problems. Ideal candidates for porcelain veneers are those with healthy teeth and gums who have cosmetic concerns and seek a long-lasting solution. Veneers provide a natural, beautiful appearance, making them a popular choice for those aiming for a smile makeover.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of teeth by removing stains and discoloration. This treatment is popular for individuals looking to enhance the brightness of their smile. It addresses staining caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, and aging. Ideal candidates for teeth whitening have healthy teeth and gums and are seeking a non-invasive method to improve their smile’s appearance. We offer fast in-office options as well as daytime and nighttime at-home options. Either way, the result is a noticeably whiter, more radiant smile, boosting confidence and overall aesthetics.

Composite Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied and hardened with a special light, bonding the material to the tooth. This treatment repairs chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, closes gaps, and makes teeth look longer. Cosmetic bonding is ideal for those looking for a quick, minimally invasive, and cost-effective way to enhance their smile. It particularly benefits patients with minor cosmetic dental issues who want immediate results. The procedure improves the overall appearance of the teeth, contributing to a more confident and attractive smile.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a dental procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and bone to expose more of a tooth’s surface. This is often necessary for restorative dental work, such as placing a crown or filling, or for cosmetic reasons to improve a “gummy” smile. Crown lengthening can address issues like tooth decay below the gum line, insufficient tooth structure for restoration, or an uneven gum line. Ideal candidates are those with healthy gums and sufficient bone structure, seeking improved dental function or enhanced aesthetics. This procedure helps ensure proper dental restoration and contributes to a more balanced, attractive smile.

Gum Contouring

Gum recontouring, also known as gum reshaping or sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to improve the appearance of the gum line. This treatment is ideal for individuals with uneven gum lines, excessive gum tissue, or a “gummy” smile. Dr. Morrison can create a more balanced and symmetrical smile by carefully removing or reshaping the gum tissue. Gum recontouring can also expose more of the teeth, making them appear longer and more proportionate. Ideal candidates for this procedure are those with healthy gums and teeth who wish to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their smile. The result is a more attractive, confident smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQ's

The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies depending on the specific treatments and procedures needed. Factors such as the complexity of the case, materials used, and the dentist’s expertise all influence the overall price. At our Clifton Park Cosmetic Dentist office, we offer a range of options tailored to fit different budgets while ensuring high-quality results. For a personalized estimate, schedule a consultation to discuss your cosmetic dentistry needs in detail.

Dental veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years with proper care. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene practices, the materials used, and individual habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects. Regular dental check-ups and good oral care routines at our Clifton Park Cosmetic Dentistry office can help extend their lifespan. For those considering this treatment, a consult with Dr. Morrison can provide more personalized insights and ensure you achieve long-lasting, beautiful results from your veneers.

There are generally no strict age restrictions for cosmetic dental procedures, though suitability varies by individual needs and dental health. Some treatments, like braces or teeth whitening, are popular among teenagers and adults, while others, like dental implants, are more suitable for adults with fully-developed jawbones. Consulting with our Clifton Park cosmetic dentists can help determine the best cosmetic dental options based on age and specific dental conditions, ensuring safe and effective results tailored to each patient.

Yes, smokers can get teeth whitening, though it’s important to note that smoking can affect the longevity of the results. Nicotine and tar from smoking can quickly stain teeth, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the whitening treatment. For optimal results, it’s recommended that smokers reduce or quit smoking to maintain a brighter smile. Dr. Morrison regularly provides teeth whitening in our Clifton Park office and can provide personalized advice and care tailored to the needs of smokers seeking teeth whitening.

Cosmetic dentistry is typically not covered by insurance as it is considered elective and primarily aimed at improving appearance rather than addressing medical needs. However, some procedures with functional benefits, such as crowns or bonding for tooth repair, may be partially covered. It’s best to check with your insurance provider and consult the team at our Clifton Park Cosmetic Dentist office to understand coverage options and explore payment plans or financing to make cosmetic treatments more affordable.
