Porcelain veneers are the go-to cosmetic dentistry treatment for many celebrities and normal individuals alike. This procedure involves permanently placing thin ceramic coverings over the teeth, thus changing their shape, size, and color to whatever you want. They can disguise a broad range of flaws, such as chips, gaps, discoloration, and more. They are always custom-made to deliver the best results, and you can get one or an entire set in just two easy appointments.

Do you want to fix an annoying chip, stain, or gap, but want to do so in the most affordable way possible? Direct bonding may be suitable for you. During the treatment, a tooth-colored composite resin is applied to your flawed tooth, and then we will sculpt it in such a way that it completely hides any blemish. The procedure only takes about an hour and is very comfortable. The results of a bonding procedure can last for up to 10 years.

Teeth are not naturally white. Even worse, they incur stains due to everyday activities like drinking coffee and red wine. If you dislike your yellow or dull-looking teeth, you can brighten them in about one hour or less thanks to our in-office Zoom! whitening treatment. Combining a powerful bleaching gel with a special low-UV light, we can break up and eliminate even very stubborn stains in a single appointment. This procedure could make your teeth up to 6 – 8 shades brighter in a single appointment!
Alternatively, our at-home whitening kits allow you to brighten your smile on your own schedule and in the comfort of your own home. We will provide you with a set of mouth trays specially made for your smile as well as a bleaching gel that is much more concentrated than anything you might find at the store or online. All you have to do is use our kit for about 30 minutes a day for two weeks, and you will notice dramatic results as your teeth are gradually freed from stains.

Do you have an overly prominent gum line that causes your teeth to look short and stubby? This is known as a “gummy” smile, and it is a common issue that we can fix here at New Haven Dental Group. Using our soft tissue laser, we can gently remove any excess gum tissue to make the teeth appear longer. We can then reshape the new gum line along the teeth or place a crown or veneer over a tooth to finish transforming its appearance.

Cosmetic dentistry is generally considered to be safe. As long as you entrust your care to a qualified team of dental professionals, there is very little chance that something will go seriously wrong with your treatment. We never recommend any procedures that we believe to be unreasonably risky.
Cosmetic dentistry carries a higher level of risk if you attempt DIY treatments or receive care from someone who is not qualified to provide it. For example, some people have tried to whiten their teeth with abrasive ingredients and have ended up causing serious damage to their dental enamel.
Most cosmetic services are non-invasive, so they cause minimal discomfort. Of course, it must still be acknowledged that you may experience a temporary increase in dental sensitivity after certain treatments, such as teeth whitening or veneer placement. Usually, the sensitivity goes away within a few days. In the meantime, eating a mild diet and taking pain relievers as necessary can help.
Different treatments have different average life expectancies:
Of course, the lifespan of your new look depends partially on you. You should stick to a good oral hygiene routine, attend regular dental checkups, avoid the use of cigarettes, and eat a nutritious diet.
