Cosmetic Dentistry in Wellesley, MA

wellesley woman smilingYour smile allows you to express yourself and connect with other people. However, you may miss meaningful interactions and connections if you don’t feel confident about sharing it.  

One of the most rewarding things for me and my team at Wellesley Hills Dental is changing lives through the dentistry we provide. One way we do this is by enhancing smiles through cosmetic dentistry.

Whether you’ve broken or lost a tooth or are embarrassed by tooth discoloration, cosmetic dentistry can help you reclaim the beautiful smile we believe you deserve!

The Unseen Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

When you think of getting cosmetic dentistry for your smile, you may focus mainly on its aesthetic benefits. However, there are several other advantages you’ll enjoy that you may not have considered.
Bite Stability
Restoring your smile provides better bite alignment, which helps support chewing function and jaw joint (TMJ) health.
Confidence Boost
A smile you’re proud to share with others boosts your confidence and helps you achieve your goals.
Easier Home Care
Brushing and flossing teeth that are correctly aligned and in good repair is much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a dentist passionate about helping patients restore their oral health and confidence, I frequently get asked about full mouth reconstruction. This comprehensive treatment is much more than a simple dental procedure—it's a journey that we customize to transform your entire smile and overall oral health.
 
Full mouth reconstruction is a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple dental issues simultaneously. If you're experiencing extensive dental problems like extensive tooth decay, missing teeth, significant wear, jaw pain, or traumatic injuries, this approach can be life-changing. The goal is to comprehensively restore your entire mouth's function and aesthetics.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan

Each reconstruction is unique and may involve a combination of treatments such as dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, tooth-colored fillings, or orthodontic work. We start with a thorough exam, including x-rays and detailed discussions about your dental history, aesthetic goals, and overall health.
 
The process isn't just about fixing teeth – it's about improving your quality of life. Patients often experience enhanced chewing ability, reduced pain, improved speech, and a significant boost in self-confidence. While the treatment can be complex and may require multiple stages, the results are truly transformative.

Contact Wellesley Hills Dental

Please feel free to reach out to us at (781) 237-6511 for more information.

No, dental bonding isn’t painful; it’s a non-invasive cosmetic procedure where we artfully shape composite resin directly onto your teeth. And because we aren’t removing any tooth enamel and affecting your tooth’s nerves, most people don’t experience discomfort, so anesthesia isn’t necessary.

Dental bonding is an affordable way to repair chipped, gapped, or discolored teeth.

The Dental Bonding Procedure

For this popular cosmetic procedure, we’ll begin by using a shade guide to determine the resin that matches your natural tooth color.

Next, we apply an etching solution to create the rough texture needed for the bonding agent to properly adhere.

We then add the bonding agent so the resin will stick to your teeth before applying the composite resin. We sculpt the resin into the desired shape, fixing chips, cracks, and gaps.

With a special light, we cure the resin before polishing your new smile.

That’s it!

It is possible to experience some sensitivity after your treatment, usually after eating or drinking something hot or cold. However, this mild discomfort usually subsides after a few days.
