Cosmetic Dentistry in Austin, TX

A beautiful smile is a powerful asset. It can boost your self-confidence, encourage positive social interactions, and convey approachability and youthfulness. Research has shown that smiling can even trigger a release of endorphins, promoting feelings of happiness and reducing stress. However, we aren’t all happy with our smiles. If you feel that your smile is flawed, cosmetic dentistry can help. At Aspire Dental, we provide a comprehensive range of cosmetic treatments to improve your smile’s appearance.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that aim to improve the appearance of your smile. Some of the most popular cosmetic treatments are teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding.

What Issues Does Cosmetic Dentistry Address?

You may be a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry if you’d like to address any of the following imperfections:

  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Misshapen teeth or teeth that appear too small
  • Chips or cracks
  • Missing teeth
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth
  • Crooked or misaligned teeth

However, if you are seeking cosmetic services but have oral health concerns, we will need to address these issues first using restorative approaches. Such issues include cavities and gum disease. When these problems are remedied, we can move forward with smile enhancement treatments.

Cosmetic Dentistry Services

At Aspire Dental, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services to improve your smile. While some are fundamentally cosmetic, others serve both aesthetic and restorative purposes. These treatments can be performed individually or in conjunction with each other to achieve the smile you have always wanted.

We will design your individualized treatment plan based on your desired degree of transformation, the extent of your cosmetic needs, as well as your preferences and budget.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the most sought-after cosmetic procedure in dental offices today. At Aspire Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening using Philips Zoom products to deliver exceptional results. In-office treatments can effectively and efficiently address stubborn stains and discoloration in just 45 minutes, yielding a significantly whiter smile. Additionally, we provide customized at-home whitening kits that allow you to brighten your smile from the comfort of your home. This convenient option doesn’t compromise on quality. Our take-home kits offer beautiful, consistent results that over-the-counter treatments can’t match.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a transformative cosmetic solution used to dramatically improve your smile. These ultra-thin, porcelain shells are custom-made to fit your teeth and achieve the smile you have always envisioned. Veneers can cover a wide range of imperfections, such as stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth, providing a stunning and natural appearance. Porcelain, specifically, is chosen for its remarkable resemblance to natural teeth, durability, and resistance to stains.

After an initial consultation to discuss and design your desired smile, we will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. This helps the veneers attach securely to the teeth and provide a natural-looking result. After your custom veneers are fabricated, we will bond the veneers to your teeth, culminating in a remarkable smile makeover. With proper at-home care and routine visits to Aspire Dental, porcelain veneers deliver long-lasting and radiant results.

Dental Bonding

If you’re looking for a more subtle enhancement, you may prefer dental bonding over veneers. Cosmetic dental bonding is a versatile and effective procedure designed to conceal dental flaws. By using a tooth-colored resin material that blends seamlessly with natural teeth, this treatment can fix issues like chips, gaps, stains, or misshapen teeth. Unlike veneers, bonding requires no enamel removal, meaning it can be reversed. Cosmetic bonding not only preserves your natural tooth structure but can also be completed in a single dental visit, offering a convenience that is hard to match with other procedures. During your appointment, we will expertly apply, sculpt, and polish the resin, leaving you with a beautifully transformed and natural-looking smile that enhances your overall appearance.

Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings, along with crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants, are restorative treatments that also enhance your smile’s appearance. These treatments allow you to enjoy optimal oral health along with the confidence of a stunning smile.

Composite fillings are a modern solution to treating cavities and decay. These tooth-colored fillings are crafted from a composite resin material that matches the natural shade of your teeth, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your smile. Beyond their aesthetic benefits, tooth-colored fillings are durable and require less removal of healthy tooth structure than traditional silver amalgam fillings. They also bond directly to the tooth, reinforcing its strength and helping to prevent fractures. Because they are mercury-free and biocompatible, composite fillings are suitable for individuals with sensitivities. With proper care, tooth-colored composite fillings provide long-lasting, natural-looking, and reliable restoration for your teeth.

Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges serve dual purposes. These restorative and cosmetic treatments effectively repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones while enhancing the overall appearance of your smile. Tooth-colored dental crowns are custom-fitted caps that cover and protect weakened or compromised teeth, providing strength without compromising aesthetics.

Dental bridges, on the other hand, “bridge” the gap left by one or more consecutively missing teeth. A traditional bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by dental crowns anchored to adjacent natural teeth. Unlike partial dentures, bridges are not removable, so you can expect them to provide excellent stability and durability. Traditional dental bridges help restore your ability to bite and chew properly and enhance your smile by filling the gap left by missing teeth.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are a versatile and reliable tooth replacement solution. They can secure loose dentures or replace one, many, or all of your teeth without extensive surgery. At Aspire Dental, we specialize in mini dental implants, which are much smaller than traditional implants and are suitable for a wider range of patients.

Their narrow and streamlined design allows us to place them in a single, minimally invasive procedure that significantly expedites the treatment timeline associated with traditional implants and reduces healing time. Additionally, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone like tooth roots do.

If you want to enhance your quality of life with secure dentures or fixed tooth replacements, mini dental implants are an excellent solution.Cosmetic Dentistry in Austin TX Dr. Brandon Hall Aspire Dental

Invisalign®

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Invisalign is the most popular clear aligner brand used in dental offices that offer realignment. It’s clear why: Invisalign has decades of successful cases, offers predictable and timely outcomes, and boasts several advantages over other orthodontic treatments.

Invisalign is a cutting-edge treatment that offers a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners customized to your unique smile. These aligners gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions, and their transparency makes the treatment nearly invisible. These advantages make Invisalign ideal for those who want a straighter smile without the look, discomfort, and long treatment timeline of metal braces.
