Cosmetic dentistry focuses on smile makeover procedures that improve the appearance of teeth. Dr. Vidya Suri is a general and cosmetic dentist at Kings Dental in Garland, Texas, who specializes in whitening teeth, porcelain veneer placement, resin dental fillings, and restorative techniques like crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures often overlap since both areas enhance your smile and reinforce the functionality and durability of your teeth.
- Teeth Whitening
Dr. Suri’s professional whitening solutions safely remove stains and will not increase the sensitivity of tooth enamel or damage enamel. Over-the-counter whitening gels and strips may contain harsh ingredients that may cause enamel erosion, gum irritation, and uneven results due to their acidic ingredients and potential contact with gum tissue. Years of drinking coffee or tea, smoking, and simple aging often leave stains on teeth that can be removed with dental whitening gels that gently penetrate tooth enamel to dissolve stains.
- Resin Dental Fillings
Composite resin fillings are a popular alternative to traditional metal amalgams for filling cavities. Dr. Suri can match the resin’s shade to your tooth’s natural color, ensuring a nearly invisible restoration. Moreover, resin dental fillings help prevent decay and extractions, so you keep more natural teeth and flash a beautiful smile. Composite resin is also used for cosmetic improvements beyond filling cavities, such as repairing chips and cracks, closing minor gaps between teeth, and reshaping uneven teeth.
- Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, shell-like coverings placed over teeth to conceal imperfections. Dr. Suri can customize veneers to match your teeth’s natural color and shape, making them indistinguishable from your other teeth. Veneers also resist staining since they do not contain porous enamel grooves like real teeth. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for many years, giving you a white, flawless smile and improved self-confidence.
- Dental Crowns
Dental crowns perform various functions as a cosmetic and restorative dental appliance, including improving tooth alignment, narrowing gaps between teeth, concealing stains, and reshaping worn or chipped teeth. Crafted from metal, porcelain, or a combination of metal and porcelain, dental crowns strengthen weak teeth, protect teeth that have undergone root canals, and hold dental bridges in place. Dr. Suri can also customize dental crowns to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
- Replacing Missing Teeth With Bridges or Implants
Bridges and implants provide a comprehensive solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They can restore your ability to chew, talk, and eat properly and support jawbone health by stimulating bone cell growth and maintaining bone density. Like veneers and crowns, bridges can be customized to blend seamlessly with the characteristics of your natural teeth. Dental bridges can replace up to four teeth, while implants can replace partial dentures.
