Cosmetic dentistry is mainly used to improve the appearance of your teeth and mouth, but it also provides restorative benefits. If you have teeth that are chipped, stained, broken, worn, misaligned, or feature gaps, the experienced professionals at Daleville Dental will be happy to discuss your dental service options. Dr. Jay Walters has provided residents of Daleville, AL, and the surrounding area with a full-service dental practice since 1995, and offers cosmetic dentistry options to ensure his patients enjoy beautiful smiles.

Here are some of the cosmetic dental services offered at Daleville Dental:

• Teeth Whitening: Cosmetic teeth whitening is a simple method of bleaching stains from teeth, leaving you with a brilliant smile. It is recommended that patients prepare for this procedure with a thorough teeth cleaning that includes the removal of tartar and plaque. Though home kits are available, professional teeth whitening by your dentist in his Daleville office is generally the best option.

• Dental Veneers: Veneers are thin composite or porcelain shells that are custom-made to fit over damaged teeth. They frequently are used to correct the appearance of gaps and teeth that are crooked, chipped, or severely discolored. Veneers are applied to front teeth with dental adhesive.

• Dental Crowns: Crowns or caps fit over damaged or severely decayed teeth to restore tooth appearance, shape, size, and strength. Crowns last five to 15 years and typically are made from porcelain or acrylic materials that have been fused to metal. The metal allows the crowns to accommodate bite pressure.

• Dental Implants: The only permanent replacement option for lost teeth, dental implants have a natural appearance and often are impossible to differentiate from real teeth. Titanium screws are implanted in the jawbone, and crowns are affixed after about six months, after the jawbone has grown around the screws.

Discuss these and other cosmetic dentistry options with the experts at Daleville Dental. Dr. Walters and his talented staff are committed to providing patients with the care and resources they need to enjoy brilliant smiles and optimal dental health for life.
