Cosmetic Dentistry in Lexington

We all want a beautiful smile. Unfortunately, most of us have one or more issues that stand between us and the picture-perfect smile we want. It could be a chipped tooth, gaps in the teeth, or stained teeth. The good news is that there are treatments available in cosmetic dentistry that can help you achieve your ideal smile. Barry J. Cunha is excited to offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments to address your cosmetic concerns in Lexington.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry refers to the procedures performed specifically to change the appearance of a smile. Other procedures that tend to the health of the teeth and gums, such as periodontal therapy or dental fillings, are part of restorative dentistry.

When you visit our office, you will discuss your concerns with our experienced dentist. He will then examine your teeth to determine your oral health and make a recommendation on suitable treatment options for you.

What Procedures Are Available in Cosmetic Dentistry?

At the office of Barry J. Cunha, we can address a variety of cosmetic issues, such as chipped, broken, worn, misaligned, and stained teeth. In some cases, cosmetic dentistry can improve not only the appearance of the smile but your overall health as well (such as with dental crowns). Cosmetic dentistry procedures at our office in Lexington include:

• Dental crowns: custom-made caps that are placed over a tooth to cover it completely. Crowns can be used to fix broken, worn, or severely stained teeth.
• Dental veneers: like crowns, veneers are also custom-made, but they are thinner and only cover the front of the teeth.
• Teeth whitening: a quick and easy way to improve the look of a smile. Whitening can remove stains deep in the teeth caused by smoking or diet.
• Dental bonding: applies a bonding material to the teeth that can be shaped. This treatment can be used to fix teeth that have been chipped or worn.
• Teeth replacement: common treatments are dentures and bridges where one or more teeth can be replaced.
