At the Center for Cosmetic & General Dentistry, our dentists believe every smile is beautiful, and keeping your smile healthy with general and preventative care will go a long way to maintaining its natural beauty. We understand, however, that the appearance of a smile can have a big impact on a person's facial features and confidence, and we work to help our patients transform their smiles to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. Whether you have minor imperfections or more complex concerns, our cosmetic dentists in Owensboro can help you transform your smile, revitalize your appearance, and renew your confidence.

How Cosmetic Dentistry Transforms Smiles

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dental care that focuses on the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, gums, and oromaxillofacial features. Instead of focusing on the health and function of the oral structures, cosmetic dentistry uses a variety of treatment approaches to improve the balance and symmetry of a person's smile in addition to improving the overall look, color, shape, size, and alignment of a person's teeth, gums, bite, and jawbone structure.  

Cosmetic dentistry is powerful. More complex treatments can completely transform a patient's look, and even simple treatments such as professional teeth whitening can take years off of a person's physical appearance in a single whitening session.  

Popular Cosmetic Dental Treatments

Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a wide range of treatments and services that can range from minor, non-invasive treatments to more complex dental surgeries. Some of the most popular and commonly used cosmetic dental treatments include:

• Professional Teeth Whitening

• Porcelain Veneers

• Cosmetic Dental Bonding

• Invisalign and orthodontics

• Laser Gum Shaping and Contouring

• Botox

Pairing Restorative Treatments With Cosmetic Services for Complete Smile Transformations

Cosmetic treatments are commonly paired with restorative dental care to completely restore the form, function, and appearance of a person's smile. This is especially true when a patient's teeth have been damaged or lost as a result of injury, decay, disease, or the natural aging process.  

Some restorative dental treatments that also offer cosmetic and aesthetic benefits include:

• Dental Crowns

• Inlays and Onlays

• Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings

• Dental Bridges

• Dental Implants

• Full and Partial Dentures

• Implant-Supported Dentures

Determining Which Dental Treatments Are Right for You

Every patient is different, has different treatment goals, and starts from a unique place of oral health and individual anatomy. As a result, each patient's treatment plan is slightly different and highly personalized. The cosmetic and restorative treatments that are best for you depend on your oral health, current cosmetic concerns, and your treatment goals and preferences. Our dentists can help you determine the type of treatment or combination of restorative and cosmetic services that will best help you achieve your smile goals.
