Cosmetic Dentistry in Quakertown, PA
Dr. Halle-Brown will help you pick the best cosmetic treatments for your needs and desires. She’ll also make a treatment plan that addresses your dental problems first. This custom plan will help you get the lasting smile you’ve always wanted. We provide the following cosmetic dental services to patients who qualify.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Patients looking for an alternative to metal braces can benefit from Invisalign. Invisalign uses clear, discreet aligners that cover the upper and lower teeth. Patients switch to new aligners every few weeks to move their teeth straight forward. Our clear aligners are smooth and comfortable for teens and adults.
We will ensure they fit your mouth perfectly before you leave our office. Many patients complete treatment in about one year. To learn more about our clear aligner services, see Invisalign.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that bond to the front of your teeth. Veneers can cover one or all teeth that show when you smile, making them a great choice for stained or chipped teeth. Our veneers are porcelain, which reflects light just like real teeth. They will blend in, so you might even forget you have them.
To learn more about your dental veneer options at our office, see Porcelain veneers.
Teeth Bonding
Dental bonding is great for small gaps, chips, or cracks in teeth. During bonding, we shape and sculpt tooth-colored compounds to prepare teeth and harden them with a special light. Bonding adds strength to your enamel and can cover tooth stains.
Dr. Halle-Brown carefully matches the bonding to your natural tooth color so it doesn’t affect your look. To learn about repairing your teeth in a single visit, see Teeth bonding.
Teeth Whitening
Our in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments can lift stains from your enamel. We use KöR® and GLO™ for patients who want long-lasting results. Our thorough teeth whitening treatments are safe for all adults. To learn more about our whitening treatments, see Teeth whitening.
Cosmetic Dental Q&A
We want to help you understand your options and choose the best treatments to achieve a beautiful smile. Learn more about our cosmetic treatments with answers to the following common questions.
How do you keep your teeth white?
There are many ways to keep your teeth white and your smile healthy. First, brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly. This helps remove plaque and prevent stains. Besides brushing and flossing, avoid or limit foods and drinks that can stain your teeth.
Remember to:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid coffee, tea, and other foods and drinks that stain teeth
- Abstain from using tobacco products
- Stay hydrated
- Visit the dentist regularly
Can you eat with veneers?
Yes, you can eat with your veneers because they are not removable. Veneers are long-lasting and stay on your teeth for many years. After getting your veneers, avoid foods and drinks that stain your teeth and stick to soft foods. Once you adjust to the veneers, you can start eating regular foods again.
How long is Invisalign treatment?
Each patient has different orthodontic issues, so results can vary. On average, patients finish Invisalign treatment in 6 to 12 months, sometimes longer. It depends on your specific orthodontic problems and how many aligners you need. How well you care for and wear your aligners also affects your treatment time.
Do I need veneers or dental bonding treatment?
We might suggest veneers for patients who want to improve one or more teeth in their smile. Veneers help patients with crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, or tooth discoloration. Dental bonding is another good option for dental injuries or deep stains. Both veneers and dental bonding fix cosmetic issues and can stay in good shape with proper care.
Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?
Most cosmetic dental procedures are minimally invasive and may involve little to no pain. Dentists often use local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during treatments. After the procedure, some mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur, but this typically resolves quickly.
Who is a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Good candidates for cosmetic dentistry are generally healthy individuals who want to improve the appearance of their smiles. It is essential to have realistic expectations about the results and understand that each procedure may have different outcomes. A consultation with a cosmetic dentist can help determine the best treatments for your specific needs.
