Cosmetic Treatments for Aesthetic Dental Issues
To create beautiful smiles, Dr. Ragsdale evaluates each patient’s unique needs to determine which treatment method is right for them. Depending on their smile goals, a variety of treatment methods and procedures exist.
For Discolored Teeth
Discolored teeth from dental stains are one of the most common complaints brought about by patients. To restore teeth to a whiter, brighter shade, we offer a variety of treatments, including:
- Dental Cleanings: Sometimes the dullness of teeth is due to the buildup of plaque and bacteria that stick to your teeth, even after brushing and flossing. A professional dental cleaning can remove these leftover particles from your tooth enamel.
- Professional Teeth Whitening: If your smile still isn’t as white as you would like it to be after a cleaning, dental whitening treatment may be for you. You can choose from a laser whitening treatment to see immediate results, or opt for an at-home method for results in as little as 7 days.
- Porcelain Veneers: For an unbelievable transformation that will leave your teeth glistening, porcelain veneers are an incredible option. These are thin shells that directly bond to the teeth. Not only are they extremely durable and functional, but the results look amazing.
For Crooked Teeth
Many people feel embarrassed about their smiles due to crooked teeth. Luckily, Dr. Ragsdale offers clear aligners to straighten your crooked teeth and correct issues such as underbites and overbites.
- Invisalign®: Through a series of custom-made plastic aligners, Invisalign effectively straightens the teeth without the need for bulky brackets and uncomfortable wires. Trays must be worn for 22 hours a day and are switched out every 2 weeks throughout treatment.
For Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma and disease. To address this problem, Dr. Ragsdale uses the latest restorative dental techniques to fill in the gaps.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants involve inserting a small titanium rod directly into the jawbone to support custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures. They are incredibly stable, function as regular teeth, and can prevent the jawbone from degenerating.
- Dental Bridges: Although implants are considered to be the premier method of tooth replacement, dental bridges still provide excellent results. The procedure involves Dr. Ragsdale crowning the two adjacent teeth, which can support one or more new pontics or false teeth.
