5 Transformative Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments Offered at Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry

1. Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are responsible for the fantastic smiles in beauty magazines or on your favorite TV shows. These very thin, customized porcelain shells are adhered to the front surfaces of your teeth to disguise: 

• Discoloration
• Mild misalignment
• Unwanted spaces between teeth
• Odd shapes and sizes
• Enamel erosion (chips, cracks, jagged edges, etc.)

Each veneer is customized to match the exact specifications of your teeth. This ensures your results are realistic—there will be no evidence of embarrassing dental work. 

Placing porcelain veneers requires 2-3 dental visits. The dentist will prepare your teeth, take impressions, and send the images to a dental lab. In subsequent visits, we’ll bond your veneers to your teeth. 

2. Professional teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to remove stains caused by tobacco, red wine, coffee, and poor oral hygiene. Our office has two teeth whitening methods. In-office teeth whitening involves stronger whitening formulas for quick results. Many patients achieve noticeably whiter teeth within an hour. 

At-home whitening trays take longer, but you’ll be thrilled with the outcomes. Home whitening kits are ideal for patients who want gradual teeth whitening at their convenience. 

3. Dental bonding

Composite bonding repairs gaps, stains, chips, and other minor imperfections with tooth-colored resin. Many patients love dental bonding for its: 

• Simplicity
• Speed
• Comfort
• Affordability
• Authentic-looking results
• Reversibility

Unlike veneers or crowns, the dentist doesn’t alter enamel. We bond composite resin directly to your teeth. The material of choice closely matches your natural teeth for realistic-looking outcomes. Once the material is applied to your teeth, it’s sculpted, hardened using a special light, and polished to shine. Everything happens in a single visit! Dental bonding is simple and quick, but the results are transformative. 

4. Invisalign

Are you bothered by your crooked, gapped, or overcrowded teeth? We can make your teeth straight without the hassle of metal braces. Invisalign uses customized, nearly invisible aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are also removable, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods and clean your teeth without interruptions. 

While the Invisalign system is sophisticated, the procedure is simple. It starts with a consultation with our Invisalign dentist. After examining your oral health, we’ll digitally scan your teeth and send the records to an Invisalign lab to fabricate your aligners. Once your aligners are ready, treatment starts immediately. 

Although removable, wear your aligners daily, removing them during meals and oral hygiene routines. With consistent wear, many patients achieve their desired outcomes within 6-18 months.

5. Gum contouring

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t always about your teeth—your gums matter, too. Are you self-conscious about your gummy smile or uneven gum line? We understand! A gummy smile can make teeth appear smaller than they are, while an uneven gumline can disrupt the harmony of your smile. Gum reshaping or contouring can redefine your gum line, ensuring a more proportional appearance.
