What cosmetic dentistry treatments are available?
At Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Messih has extensive experience in the field of cosmetic dentistry. She is devoted to helping you upgrade your smile with services that include:
Porcelain veneers
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that cover the fronts of your teeth to smooth out irregularities and minor misalignment.
Porcelain crowns
Crowns can protect and cover teeth that are damaged. They look and function just like natural teeth.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening helps you get a brilliant smile. It can help remedy discoloration caused by aging, diet, and tobacco use.
Direct bonding
This procedure can address small chips, cracks, and deep permanent staining that professional teeth whitening cannot reach.
Invisalign® clear aligners
Invisalign are clear, plastic aligners you wear as an alternative to traditional braces. They correct a crooked or misaligned smile more comfortably than braces and often faster, too.
Porcelain bridges
Bridges are an alternative to dentures and implants when it comes to filling in the spaces from missing teeth.
The treatment you choose depends on your smile complaints and cosmetic goals. They can combine the restoration of damaged teeth with your aesthetic goals, as well.
What happens during a cosmetic dentistry consultation?
After a thorough evaluation of your current smile, the doctors provide their recommendations for treatments to best reach your cosmetic goals. They answer all of your questions and explain the benefits of each procedure.
Factors to consider when determining which cosmetic dentistry procedures are appropriate, include:
- Teeth alignment, size, and color
- Skin and hair coloring
- Facial shape and appearance
- Gum size and shape
Whether your complaints are related to the alignment of your teeth, size or shape of your teeth, or discoloration, the team at Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry have solutions.
What is prosthodontics?
Dr. Messih is skilled in the specialized field of dentistry known as prosthodontics, which combines restorative and cosmetic treatments. The practice of prosthodontics involves the creation of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore missing or defective teeth -- filling in gaps to create a brilliant smile that boosts confidence and functions just like your natural teeth. The doctor uses traditional cosmetic treatments, such as crowns and teeth whitening, along with dental implants or dentures, to fill in areas of missing teeth.
