A confident smile can open doors in both personal and professional settings. While not every dental concern affects health, many influence appearance, and that can impact self-esteem. At Cary Family Dental, Dr. Niraj Patel and his team offer cosmetic dentistry services designed to enhance both the look and feel of your smile. Here are five of the most common treatments patients ask about.
1. Professional Teeth Whitening
One of the quickest ways to brighten your smile is through professional teeth whitening. Unlike over-the-counter products, treatments performed in a dental office use stronger whitening agents for more noticeable results. The procedure is safe, controlled, and can often be completed in a single visit. Many patients appreciate that whitening can make a dramatic difference without requiring major dental work.
2. Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that bond to the front of your teeth. They are used to cover discoloration, chips, gaps, or irregular shapes. Because veneers are designed to match natural tooth color and contour, they blend seamlessly with your existing smile. With proper maintenance, they can last for many years and continue to look natural.
3. Bioclear for Gaps and Chips
In addition to traditional dental bonding, Cary Family Dental offers Bioclear, a modern technique for improving tooth shape, closing gaps, and repairing chips. Bioclear uses a heated composite material that flows into a specially designed mold around your tooth, creating a smooth, natural-looking result. Unlike older bonding methods, Bioclear wraps the tooth in a seamless layer, which means fewer edges that can stain or wear down. It’s minimally invasive, preserves more of your natural tooth, and provides long-lasting results that blend beautifully with your smile.
4. Invisalign Clear Aligners
For patients who want straighter teeth without traditional braces, Invisalign is a popular option. The system uses clear, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into better alignment. Treatment times vary, but many adults appreciate the flexibility—being able to remove the aligners to eat, brush, or attend a special event.
5. Dental Implants for Missing Teeth
Replacing missing teeth isn’t just about function—it’s also about appearance. Dental implants restore the natural look of a full smile by replacing both the root and crown of a missing tooth. They’re strong, long-lasting, and designed to look indistinguishable from surrounding teeth. For patients with gaps, implants can make a significant difference.
