Composite fillings, in cosmetic dentistry, are the gift that keeps on giving. Whether you want to improve the look and shape of your teeth, or decay has caused damage, composite fillings can help you smile again. The tooth colored filling bonds to the tooth, restoring it to its former glory and prevents the advancement of decay. The filling is made from tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture, often referred to as a composite resin.

When you have a missing tooth, your problems are not over yet. Because the tooth is no longer there to support the adjoining teeth, they can begin to shift position in your mouth. This will cause those teeth to become misaligned or even become loose. The hole, where the missing tooth once lived, becomes a trap for food and bacteria which can lead to conditions such as gum disease. In some cases, when the root and bone are exposed, serious problems can arise without proper cosmetic dental treatment, like a dental bridge.

A porcelain veneer is a thin application of ceramic porcelain. With cosmetic dentistry treatment, porcelain veneers can help you resolve a number of dental health issues. Cracks in teeth are easily repaired, unwanted gaps removed and we can restore permanent discoloration. Porcelain veneers are made to match, which means that they won't stand out from the rest of the tooth. Due to the durability of the veneer, eating the foods you love won't present a problem, either.

When you come to Marvin Village Dentistry for a comprehensive exam, one of the factors that our team takes into consideration is the color of your teeth. Some patients' teeth are naturally discolored, whereas for others the discoloration is due to dietary and other habits. We understand that your smile is important to you, so having white and sparkly teeth is a must. Dr. Walford and the Marvin Village Dentistry team can help you achieve the smile that you have always wanted with cosmetic dentistry, through the use of advanced teeth whitening techniques.
