Cosmetic Dentistry

Houston, the Woodlands, Kingwood, Spring, and Conroe, Texas

Simply put, general dentistry addresses the functionality of your teeth while cosmetic dentistry attends to the aesthetics of your smile. However, cosmetic dentistry can encompass and overlap many treatments which were formerly considered parts of general dentistry. These treatments will just be performed with an artistic flair and a greater concern for the aesthetic outcome.

Cosmetic Dentistry Indicators

Cosmetic dentistry may be necessary if you have any of the following issues:

• Broken teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Stained teeth
• Missing teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Disproportionate teeth
• "Gummy" smile
• Cavities

While general dentistry can also address almost all of these issues, cosmetic dentistry allows for treatment that not only helps your teeth function correctly, but enables your repairs to look virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Where general dentistry may dictate the use of mercury amalgam fillings, cosmetic dentistry has enabled us to provide you with safe, tooth-colored fillings that are practically invisible whether you are smiling, speaking, laughing or singing.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

The type of treatment required to address your issue is dictated by the result you would like to enjoy. Treatments can be as basic as teeth whitening, which will simply brighten your smile, or as complex as a complete smile makeover, which consists of a series of procedures intended to give you the bright, vibrant smile you’ve always wanted.

The options which fall between these treatments allow Houston cosmetic dentist Dr. Scott Young to offer you a beautiful, natural-looking new smile almost regardless of your dental problems, and may include one or more of the following:

• Porcelain veneers
• Tooth crowns
• Dental bridges
• Tooth bonding
• Dental implants
• Gum recontouring
