Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

We are proud to offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services that are fully customizable for your specific needs and treatment goals. Our services include:

Invisalign®

Invisalign® aligners are made of a smooth, medical grade plastic that is transparent and less visible on your smile—other people won’t be able to tell you are even wearing them. With their flexible material and removable design, eating, drinking and keeping up your oral hygiene routine is a breeze. These clear aligners offer our patients a comfortable, discreet and efficient method of orthodontic treatment, resulting in a natural-looking smile made just for you!

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth. These replacement teeth can be individual crowns, bridges or even dentures. The implants are made of titanium, a material that will fuse with the surrounding bone, preserving the jaw bone and preventing further bone loss. In addition to restoring the smile, implants can improve your ability to chew and speak.

Dentures

Dentures are the traditional method of replacing missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. A denture will look and function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with ease. Made of acrylic resin or metal, dentures can either replace all of the teeth or some natural teeth. At Eddleman Dental, we offer several different types of dentures, including conventional, immediate, complete or partial dentures and implant-secured dentures.

Dental Crowns

Also known as a cap, a dental crown covers a damaged tooth in order to protect it from further damage, restore its function and enhance its appearance, giving you your smile back. Patients with decayed, chipped, stained or otherwise damaged teeth may need a dental crown, which looks and functions just like your other teeth. At Eddleman Dental, we offer two types of dental crowns: in-office crowns (CEREC) and traditional dental crowns.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the space between two natural teeth or dental implants. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored on either side by crowns or abutments. These crowns are placed on the natural teeth or dental implants adjacent to the space left by the missing teeth. There are different types of dental bridges, including traditional, removable or implant-secured options.

Teeth-In-A-Day

If you need four or more dental implants, commonly referred to as a full-arch restoration, our teeth-in-a-day service could be the perfect solution for you! This cutting-edge procedure is crafted to offer a stable and aesthetically pleasing answer to missing teeth, allowing you to leave your appointment with a fresh new smile. This cost-effective and long-lasting option for missing teeth is a comfortable way to achieve your new smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, ceramic shells that are bonded to the tooth’s surface. They are made of ceramic material and are an easy, versatile solution to many common dental problems including chipped, cracked, discolored, damaged or misshapen teeth. Dr. Eddleman offers several types of porcelain veneers to meet your specific cosmetic goals for your smile, including traditional, Lumineers dental veneers and Durathin Prepless Veneers.

Cosmetic Recontouring

We offer cosmetic recontouring, also known as enameloplasty, to help reshape and contour your smile. Cosmetic recontouring reshapes the enamel to correct several possible issues or imperfections you may have with your teeth. It is a quick, easy fix for chipped teeth, uneven teeth and irregular teeth.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening removes stains and discoloration to make your teeth whiter, which helps you achieve a brighter and more confident smile. Additionally, teeth whitening gives the appearance of a healthier mouth, which can also boost your self-esteem. Our teeth whitening options include both in-office and at-home systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

For your convenience, we have outlined answers to some frequently asked questions about our cosmetic dentistry services below.

While these services can be a good option to improve the smiles of many of our patients, unfortunately, not everyone is a candidate for cosmetic dentistry services. Patients with gum disease and other conditions may not qualify for certain services. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Eddleman to see if these treatments are a good choice for you.

We make every effort to ensure these treatments are as comfortable and as pain-free as possible. Many of these procedures are minimally-invasive and include the use of a local anesthetic.

Yes! We pride ourselves in our beautiful but natural-looking results. Dr. Eddleman uses the latest modern techniques to ensure a cohesive look.

Your hygiene habits play a large role in the longevity of your results. It also depends on the service you receive. With the proper care, crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures can last for many, many years. Teeth whitening, on the other hand, lasts for around several months to a year with the right care.

Though we strive to offer affordable and accessible care, costs will vary. We will discuss cost, insurance coverage, financing options and more at your consultation, and we encourage you to ask questions!
