Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Cedar Park, TX

Our cosmetic dental treatments improve our patients’ smiles’ overall aesthetics and health. Discover more about each of our cosmetic treatments below:

Professional Teeth Whitening

Vista Ridge Family Dentistry offers one-visit professional teeth whitening. Professional whitening doesn’t just lift tooth stains. It can help you achieve the bright white smile you’ve dreamed of in about an hour.

We also offer take-home teeth whitening, which uses our custom or one-size teeth whitening trays. Professional whitening is far more potent than drugstore products. 

Dental Veneers

Traditional veneers are the way to go if you’ve ever wished you had a perfect Hollywood smile. Porcelain veneers replicate the appearance of teeth and allow you to customize each tooth’s size, shape, and color. Once modified to your liking, they adhere to the front of each tooth for a complete, permanent smile makeover. Veneers are shell-like treatments that bond to teeth in the smile line, creating brighter and straighter smiles.

Six Month Smiles®

Six Month Smiles uses orthodontic technology to straighten patients’ smiles in approximately six months. We recommend these clear braces for mild orthodontic cases. Six Month Smiles benefits you if you only want to straighten the front teeth that show when you smile. This option lets your teeth appear perfectly straight by your next routine cleaning.

Invisalign®

Invisalign is one of the most popular transparent aligner brands on the market. They have made significant advancements in orthodontics over the past twenty years. Clear Invisalign aligners are comfortable and virtually invisible on the teeth. They can treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues.

Depending on their orthodontic needs, patients typically complete Invisalign in an average of 12 to 18 months. In addition, Invisalign provides easy-to-use aligners. You switch out these aligners every few weeks as they shift teeth into a straighter position. 

ClearCorrect®

We also offer ClearCorrect, another popular clear aligner option that functions similarly to Invisalign. You must wear your discreet clear aligners for 22 hours daily, only removing them to eat, drink, and brush your teeth.

As with Invisalign, you can swap out the ClearCorrect aligners every few weeks. The teeth slowly shift and become straighter as the aligners use gentle pressure.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry in Cedar Park, TX

When patients come into our office asking about cosmetic dentistry, they’re typically concerned about their tooth appearance. Cosmetic dentistry is primarily about the aesthetics of the smile. However, it has many benefits beyond giving you a more beautiful smile.

Psychological Benefits and Overall Wellbeing

Your smile can significantly impact your self-esteem and confidence. You may hesitate to smile in social and professional situations if you are self-conscious. “Bad” teeth may make you focus on hiding your smile. 

The simple act of smiling can give you a mood booster. Improving your smile with cosmetic dentistry helps you smile more and get this boost more often.

Being confident in your smile assists you in your relationships, social interactions, and professional life. Having lower self-esteem can cause more depression and anxiety, especially when you’re out in public. Confidence in yourself and your smile can help lessen these problems.

Oral Health and Function

Many cosmetic treatments assist with the function of your smile in addition to the looks. We see this especially when we’re dealing with crooked teeth. Crooked teeth are more challenging to clean than straight ones.

Your toothbrush can’t reach all the nooks and crannies; they may be too cramped to get dental floss between them. Even our specialized dental tools may not be able to clean your teeth properly. This means you’re at high risk for harmful plaque and tartar buildup, even if you do everything right.

Our mouths are designed to apply even pressure throughout the bite. Some crooked teeth take on more pressure than others because your bite is uneven. These teeth experience wear and tear and are likelier to break, chip, or crack. This leads to the need for restorative dental procedures to fix these further issues with your smile.

An uneven bite is one of the top causes of TMJ disorders. When your bite is uneven, the jaw joint doesn’t track smoothly like it normally would. This causes the jaw joint to break down.

You may experience pain throughout your jaw and face, popping and clicking noises from your jaw, and jaw dysfunction. Your jaw may get stuck in certain positions. In some cases, you can’t open or close your mouth properly. Fixing crooked teeth can reduce jaw strain and pressure on the teeth for a more comfortable bite.

What is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover uses multiple cosmetic treatments to change the appearance of your teeth and gums completely. We may recommend a smile makeover if you have multiple cosmetic problems that require different treatments.

You will meet us for a consultation to begin the smile makeover process. We will discuss your treatment goals and cosmetic concerns. A smile makeover can treat discolored teeth, chipped or worn teeth, crooked teeth, and gaps between teeth.

Then, we will examine your smile. If you have dental problems that affect your oral health, we will treat those problems first. We will begin your smile makeover once you are healthy enough for cosmetic treatment.
