Cosmetic Dentistry
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
As home to a leading Cosmetic Dentist in Boston, our dental practice offers an enormous value to the large numbers of patients who take advantage of these often life-changing procedures.
The health benefits of general dentistry, where the focus is on prevention and treatment of oral disease through good oral hygiene and timely diagnoses, are essential to our well-being. The benefits of cosmetic dentistry in Boston step beyond this focus into the arena of self-image, self-confidence, and quality of life. Often considered to be elective dental procedures, cosmetic dentistry becomes a dramatic necessity for people suffering injuries or disease that damage their teeth and affect their appearance. The restorative capabilities available to the great number of patients at Dental Partners of Boston who take advantage of these procedures are tremendous - from the straightforward, such as in-office tooth whitening done over a lunch hour, to the involved, such as full dental implant rehabilitation - our Boston cosmetic dentistry benefits patients beyond pure aesthetics.
Even the simple preference of natural-colored, composite fillings over metal fillings carries not only a cosmetic difference, but a general dentistry focus as well due to the safety concerns regarding amalgam (silver) metal fillings.
BriteSmile Tooth Whitening
BriteSmile tooth whitening is an exclusive in-office tooth whitening process that can produce dazzling results in as little as an hour of your time. BriteSmile tooth whitening is a whitening gel that is applied to your teeth and then activated by the BriteSmile patented blue light system. Activation takes approximately 20 minutes, which flies by as you relax to music or watch television. Two additional applications and activations of BriteSmile's exclusive whitening gel bring your smile to a brilliant, natural white that will last for years. Read More
Home Tooth Whitening
Home tooth whitening can be accomplished through the use of whitening gel products provided by one of our dentists and applied using specialized dental trays usually for 30 minutes daily. Home teeth whitening is also possible with teeth whitening strips, paint-on whitening gels, and toothpastes specifically formulated for home tooth whitening. It is best to discuss home tooth whitening with your Dental Partners of Boston dentist before beginning any tooth whitening treatment.Read More
The enamel on your teeth becomes thinner and more transparent with age, revealing the darker-appearing inner layer, called dentin. Most enamel stains are caused by drinks such as coffee, tea, some cola, and red wine, but tobacco normally proves to be the most stubborn stain to whiten.
Invisalign.
Invisalign is the innovative tooth realignment system that has allowed millions of adults and teens to straighten misaligned teeth without the discomfort and glaring appearance of traditional metal braces. Made of the high quality, crystal clear plastic, Invisalign removable braces are nearly invisible when being worn. Read More
Invisalign braces fit directly over your existing teeth. Successive braces, each slightly different in alignment than the previous, are worn approximately every 2 weeks during treatment. This slight change allows your Invisalign braces to gently urge your teeth into proper alignment - with no one being the wiser!
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are porcelain veneers that are sculpted to produce natural, aesthetically-pleasing teeth. Normally used for front teeth only, veneers allow not only the complete restoration of damaged, cracked or badly stained teeth, but also restore full functionality. Strong, beautiful and permanent, dental veneers can make a dramatic difference in your smile. Read More
White Fillings
White fillings are made of a composite material with many advantages. White fillings offer extensive flexibility in applications, including micro-cavities where only air abrasion instead of drilling is necessary. The composite material used with white fillings insulates the damaged tooth from heat and cold, while providing superior strength. White fillings also have the obvious plus of providing a natural appearance to the filled tooth. Long lasting (7-10 years) and good looking, white fillings are the safe, preferred treatment option for teeth damaged by cavities. Read More
All Porcelain Dental Crowns
All porcelain dental crowns are one of the most common cosmetic dental procedures in tooth restoration. Made of dental ceramics, porcelains, or resins, these crowns can restore worn or broken teeth, misshapen or severely discolored teeth, and protect teeth cracked or weakened by decay. All porcelain dental crowns are also used to anchor a dental bridge or to cover and strengthen a tooth with a large filling. All porcelain dental crowns are normally recommended for use on teeth, where there isn't excessive pressure from biting or chewing. The ceramic material use in all porcelain dental crowns can be color-matched to your existing teeth for beautifully natural smile. Procera?
