Cosmetic Dentistry in Carson City

Is your smile looking a little dull lately? Your cosmetic dentist can provide teeth whitening services that are tailored to your specific needs! Professional, in-office whitening treatments are the best option to whiten your teeth because they are the safest and most effective method. Our experienced cosmetic dentist will use powerful whitening agents that can whiten your teeth up to 10 shades in an hour while protecting your gums and the rest of your mouth during the treatment. The result is a bright, even smile that shines from the moment you leave our office.

A fixed dental bridge is a permanent, non-removable prosthesis that is attached to your natural teeth to help replace a missing tooth or teeth. A dental bridge is one of the most affordable options for people who have missing teeth and blends very easily to your smile. If you’re missing one or more teeth and are looking for a durable cosmetic fix, a fixed dental bridge may be the perfect solution for you.

Dental crowns are placed on top of an existing tooth to provide support and improve a tooth’s appearance. After a tooth has been severely damaged as a result of tooth decay, a dental emergency, or severe erosion of the enamel, crowns are secured in the mouth by being attached to the remaining tooth with a secure resin. They are designed for comfort as well as functionality.

A popular treatment for reshaping or rebuilding teeth is bonding. It provides an attachment between the filling material and the original enamel and dentin of the tooth. The bonding looks and functions just like a real tooth, so you get improved functionality and appearance. Our skilled cosmetic dentists in Carson City use bonding as a great option to make chipped or damaged teeth look even better than they did before. Additionally, bonding is often less costly than veneers or crowns and offers a long-lasting solution.

Today, metal-free fillings using more naturally-colored and tooth-like materials are durable and long-lasting. These fillings more accurately imitate the natural enamel of the tooth and are much less noticeable than outdated metallic fillings. When a tooth is damaged from decay, a dental filling is an easy and effective way to repair the tooth.

A gum lift is a procedure in which the gums are gently reshaped to help create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. It is usually performed using dental lasers and requires very little recovery time. Gum lifts are often done in tandem with other cosmetic procedures, including veneers, to help create that perfect smile for our Carson City cosmetic dentistry patients.

Dental implants are an incredibly effective way of replacing a missing tooth without affecting the surrounding teeth. The implant is anchored by a titanium implant that sits in the bone pocket of the original tooth. The titanium forms a bond with the bone over time and helps prevent the bone loss that can occur after losing a tooth. A crown is used to cap the implant, which replicates the enamel portion of the original tooth. The dental implant works just as well, if not better than the original tooth!

Orthodontic treatment is an excellent option if you are looking to correct misalignments and improve the look and function of your teeth. Our Carson City locations offer:

• Metal braces consisting of wires and brackets.
• Clear, ceramic braces for a more seamless smile.
• Invisible braces to help straighten teeth discreetly using plastic trays.
• Absolute Dental is also a provider of the popular Invisalign® brand of smile aligners.

Dental veneers are very thin yet durable pieces of porcelain that are applied to the outside of existing teeth to help recreate a natural look while providing additional strength. This is often the preferred choice for patients hoping to make minor alterations to the look of their smile. Veneers can easily and immediately improve the position, shape, color, or size of existing teeth without lengthy orthodontic treatments.
