Cosmetic dentistry does more than improve the aesthetic appeal of one’s smile. Crowns, implants, dentures, and more also improve overall oral health, decreasing the likelihood of bone loss and decay. At Center Valley Dental, we offer a range of cosmetic dental services to help patients achieve happier and healthier smiles. From crowns to veneers, here are the top four cosmetic dental services offered here at Center Valley Dental.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that help strengthen and restore the look of decayed, damaged, or cracked teeth. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, acrylic resin, or a combination of these. Dental crowns are beneficial as they restore damaged teeth, enhance your speaking ability, and prevent further decay or damage to already weakened teeth.

Here at Center Valley Dental, we are proud to offer CEREC crowns. This advanced technology allows custom crowns to be made in just a single visit, rather than in 3-4 weeks as compared to traditional crowns. A computer-aided restoration is made based on a full digital scan of your tooth. Then, we take this image and craft a replica of your tooth. Crowns are made in-house, giving you complete control over their shape, size, and color. In as little as one visit, your smile (and life!) can change. It’s no wonder CEREC crowns are one of our most popular cosmetic dental services.

Dental Implants

Looking for dental implants in Allentown, Easton, or Bethlehem? You can find them here at Center Valley Dental! Dental implants are one of our most popular cosmetic dental services.

A dental implant uses a titanium screw to replace a missing tooth root. An abutment and custom crown are then attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking and feeling replacement for your missing tooth. This implant is durable enough to restore complete chewing capabilities. That means you can get back to eating the foods you love!

The dental implant process takes several months; however, the results are well worth the wait. Why?

  • They’re long-lasting. Over time, dental implants fuse to the jawbone. This gives them superior strength over removable options and adds to their durability.
  • They’re reliable. Dental implants have the highest success rate out of any missing tooth replacement. They also don’t grow loose over time as removable dentures do. Paired with their longevity, this makes them an extremely reliable option.
  • They improve jawbone function. Because dental implants are fused to the jawbone, they help stimulate its growth and prevent deterioration.
Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening is a procedure that lightens the teeth and helps remove stains and discoloration. Our experts at Center Valley Dental offer an at-home tooth whitening system. This involves placing a gel-like whitening solution in a tray that is custom-fit to the patient’s mouth. This treatment is safe, effective, and long-lasting. Stained or discolored teeth don’t necessarily mean poor oral health; however, some patients turn to tooth whitening to help boost their confidence!

Veneers & Bonding

Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain fixtures that can correct chipped, weakened, or discolored teeth. They are custom-made to fit over natural teeth and have a translucent finish to blend in seamlessly. Veneers can be used to address various dental concerns, including teeth that are gapped, broken, chipped, stained, or crooked. People often choose this procedure over dental crowns because they are less invasive.

Bonding is a procedure that enhances the appearance of teeth by bonding a composite material (either plastic or resin) to an existing tooth. It’s a quick process and does not reduce the tooth’s original structure. Bonding is relatively inexpensive and can be used to fix chipped teeth, reduce gaps, or hide discoloration. While bonding offers a quick cosmetic fix, it’s essential to note that composite bonds are not as durable as veneers or crowns and may need retouching or replacement in the future.
