Cosmetic Dentistry in Towson, MD
Patients who are already healthy but want a more aesthetically pleasing smile benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Peter Diacoloukas offers these cosmetic dental treatments to help his patients meet their smile goals:
Clear Braces
Treatments like Invisalign offer comfortable alternatives to traditional metal braces. Clear braces use discreet aligners that patients can remove to eat and clean their smiles. Unlike metal braces, clear braces require future visits and no dietary restrictions, because they do not need to eat with the aligners on their teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, shell-like treatments that we bond to the front of the tooth’s surface. Veneers are made of tooth-colored porcelain materials and offer long-lasting results. Patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile benefit from veneers without the need for orthodontic or whitening treatment.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding uses malleable, tooth-colored materials to cover tooth wear, gaps between teeth, cracks, chips in the tooth enamel, and tooth discoloration. Dental bonding benefits patients with small cosmetic problems who want to add structure to damaged teeth or brighten single teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatment can whiten the appearance of teeth by multiple shades. Unlike store-bought options, professional teeth whitening has higher concentrations of active ingredients that penetrate the enamel and lift stains.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile design uses multiple cosmetic treatments to enhance the full aesthetics and comfort of the smile. Dr. Diacoloukas offers smile makeovers for patients with more than one cosmetic concern who wants a straighter, brighter, and more balanced smile. Using digital smile design, Dr. Diacoloukas can effectively plan cosmetic treatment. Dr. Diacoloukas will take impressions and images of the smile to create a mock-up of the treatment results. Then, the patient will wear the mock-up to determine if they like the color and shape of the smile design. Once the patient approves the design, we can create their final treatment.
Cosmetic Dentistry Q&A
Read answers to common questions about cosmetic dental care:
Do I need dental bonding or porcelain veneers?
While dental bonding and porcelain veneers are similar treatments, they offer different benefits for patients. Dental bonding offers a quick fix for minor cosmetic issues like chips or cracks in the enamel. Porcelain veneers fully cover discolored, slightly crooked, or damaged teeth. Bonding can cover any tooth, while dental veneers only cover teeth in the smile line. Dr. Diacoloukas will help determine if veneers or bonding treatment suits you.
Do I need a dental cleaning before teeth whitening?
We will clean your teeth before the teeth whitening treatment to remove plaque and tartar from the smile. The treatment works best on clean teeth to ensure the best possible results.
Why do you need a retainer after braces?
A retainer keeps your teeth straight after treatment and prevents orthodontic relapse. Orthodontic relapse occurs when the teeth shift out of position following orthodontic treatment. Wearing a retainer will keep teeth straight so you can enjoy your results for many years.
