Cosmetic dentists helping Charlotte residents smile

Here are some examples of popular cosmetic dental procedures and services:

Teeth whitening
There are two options available for teeth whitening in the Charlotte area.
A popular and painless method is L.E.D. cosmetic teeth whitening. The process is good for touchups or a first-timer. The process takes about 30 minutes and serves to remove minor discoloration. The second option is Advanced Professional Teeth Whitening. It is generally used for patients with significantly stained or yellow teeth.

Dental veneers
If you have gaps in your teeth, crooked teeth, or if your teeth are worn down, veneers may be a good cosmetic dental option for you. Porcelain veneers match the patient’s tooth color, which makes them unnoticeable.

Composite bonding
In some cases, bonding is a better option than veneers if you have chipped or broken teeth. Bonding can also help fill in gaps in teeth. In bonding, highly durable tooth-colored resins are bonded to your teeth, then shaped and polished. Bonding is usually completed in one office visit.
  
Short Term Orthodontics
Many cosmetic dentists now have the ability to straighten crooked teeth or close gaps in a very conservative way.  Short-term orthodontics can also help a dentist align your teeth before doing other cosmetic procedures, which means overall you get the most conservative approach.  There are several ways to do this, and one way is with Six Month Smiles, which we have found to provide predictable and very satisfactory results.

Your dream smile is an affordable reality, thanks to the financing options offered by your Charlotte area cosmetic dentists at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry. Call today to schedule an appointment that will lead you down the path to a beautiful smile with the help of your cosmetic dentist.
