Our cosmetic dentistry services include:

Teeth Whitening 

Teeth Whitening is a popular and effective cosmetic dental procedure that can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile. Over time, teeth can become stained and discolored due to various factors such as consuming coffee, tea, red wine, or natural aging. Our Teeth Whitening services are designed to reverse these effects, leaving you with a brighter, youthful smile.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding at Big Smile Dental is a versatile and non-invasive cosmetic procedure for correcting various dental imperfections. This treatment involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the affected teeth, which is then hardened with a special light. Dental bonding is ideal for fixing chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, as well as for closing gaps and making teeth appear longer. The process is relatively quick, usually completed in one visit, and can significantly improve the appearance of your smile. Our dental professionals skillfully match the bonding material to your natural tooth color, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result. Dental bonding can last several years with proper care, making it a cost-effective solution for enhancing your smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers offered at Big Smile Dental are popular for achieving a complete smile makeover. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, instantly transforming their appearance. They are ideal for correcting a range of cosmetic issues, including teeth that are discolored, worn down, chipped, misaligned, or uneven. The process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth’s surface and bonding the veneer, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Porcelain veneers are highly durable, stain-resistant, and can last many years with proper care. Our expert dental team works closely with each patient to design veneers that complement their facial features and desired aesthetic, ensuring a beautiful and lasting transformation.

Orthodontics/Braces

Orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces, are a cornerstone of cosmetic dentistry at Big Smile Dental. Braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws, resulting in a more functional and aesthetically pleasing smile. Traditional braces involve brackets and wires that apply gentle pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Our orthodontic treatments are personalized for each patient, considering their specific dental needs and aesthetic goals. The duration of treatment varies, but the result is a straighter, healthier smile that enhances facial aesthetics and boosts confidence.

Invisalign Braces

Invisalign braces offer a modern, discreet, and comfortable solution for straightening your teeth, marking a significant departure from traditional metal braces. This innovative orthodontic treatment uses clear, custom-made aligners that gently and gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. Unlike the conspicuous metal wires and brackets of traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to your mouth.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Gone are the days of noticeable metal fillings. At Big Smile Dental, we use tooth-colored fillings to restore teeth affected by decay or damage seamlessly. These fillings are made from composite resin, which can be closely matched to the natural color of your teeth, ensuring a natural, undetectable finish. Tooth-colored fillings are an aesthetic choice and a healthier one, as they bond directly to the tooth, providing more support and reducing the risk of future breakage. They are durable, resistant to fracture, and perfect for front and back teeth, making them an excellent choice for patients seeking a more natural-looking dental restoration.

Dental Implants

Dental implants represent the gold standard in modern tooth replacement. Big Smile Dental offers dental implants as a durable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes, and bone bonds with the titanium, creating a solid foundation for artificial teeth. Dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration from missing teeth. They are an ideal option for those who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons and are looking for a permanent solution that improves the aesthetics of their smile and enhances oral health.
