Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dental treatments are a life changing way to improve your self esteem and appearance. We all dream of having straight, white and proportionate smiles, and fortunately, a beautiful smile is attainable for everyone! Thompson Dental offers effective cosmetic dental services that can transform even the most obvious and stubborn smile flaws. Some of our most popular treatments include professional whitening, porcelain veneers and dental implants.

Teeth Whitening

Once permanent tooth stains develop, they stick around until a person receives professional treatment. While over the counter products are widely available in grocery stores and pharmacies, they are often ineffective at treating deep discoloration and yellowing because they do not contain stable formulas or high concentrations of bleaching ingredients needed to remove permanent stains. Professional whitening treatments, however, are safe for teeth and very effective at whitening one’s smile. In fact, an in-office whitening treatment can brighten a person’s smile about eight shades lighter. Thompson Dental provides in-office treatments and custom take home kits that contain potent, prescription bleaching solutions which allows our patients to choose the method of whitening that best suits their needs and lifestyle.

Porcelain Veneers

For those suffering with smile imperfections, porcelain veneers are a great option for creating a flawless smile. Veneers are cosmetic enhancements made from high quality porcelain. Formed and shaped to fit over the front surfaces of teeth, veneers conceal flaws like stains, cracks, chips and crooked teeth. When a series of veneers are bonded over the front of teeth, they produce a perfectly proportionate and bright smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants have rapidly become the preferred method of tooth replacement by oral health professionals and patients because of their ability to restore oral function without sacrificing the appearance of one’s smile. When dental implants are fitted with permanent, white restorations like crowns and bridges, they produce a very lifelike looking smile that can stand up to the daily forces associated with biting, tearing and chewing foods of all kinds. An implant is a titanium screw-like prosthetic that is placed in the jawbone so that it can ultimately function like the root of a biological tooth. Once bone stabilizes the titanium post of an implant, a custom bridge or crown is attached to complete the smile makeover process.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

A wealth of research has been dedicated to the emotional and mental effects of having a noticeably flawed smile. When our teeth show obvious signs of discoloration, wear and tear, or tooth loss, we can suffer from depression, social anxiety, and greatly diminished self-confidence. The effects of an imperfect smile are far-reaching, and that is why our team at Thompson Dental is committed to helping our patients enjoy healthy, beautiful teeth.
