Cosmetic dentistry covers the treatments that improve how your teeth and gums look, from correcting discoloration and chips to closing gaps and reshaping teeth. At Colonia Dental Associates, our dentists work with you to understand your goals and build a treatment plan that delivers a natural-looking result rather than a generic template.
Dr. Ashlee N. Apratim, D.M.D., and Dr. Gurjinder Singh, D.M.D., are both Associate Fellows of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) and completed the Rutgers University AAID MaxiCourse, giving them the restorative background to plan cosmetic treatment that holds up structurally as well as aesthetically.
Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures We Offer
- Teeth whitening to brighten your overall shade
- Dental veneers to reshape or cover imperfections
- Dental bonding for minor chips and gaps
- Dental crowns for damaged or discolored teeth
- Invisalign for crowding or spacing
- A full smile makeover combining several of the above
Each of these addresses a different concern, which is why the right starting point is a consultation rather than picking a procedure off a list.
Who Should Consider Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic treatment is performed primarily for aesthetic goals, though some procedures, such as crowns and bonding, also restore function at the same time. Anyone unhappy with the color, shape, spacing, or alignment of their smile can benefit from a consultation. Your dentist will confirm your teeth and gums are healthy first, since cosmetic work is built on a stable foundation.
Some concerns are addressed with a single visit, such as whitening, while others, like veneers or Invisalign, are staged over several appointments.
