Professional Cosmetic Dentistry

At Nederland Family Dental, we address your oral health first, but we know that the appearance of your smile is important to you, as well.

In addition to our preventative and restorative treatments, we offer a wide array of cosmetic dentistry options in Nederland, TX for any smile improvement you wish to make. Our options range from professional teeth whitening to full smile makeovers.

We truly enjoy seeing the transformation that cosmetic dentistry provides for our patients and how it increases their self-esteem and encourages them to smile and laugh. We appreciate having the opportunity to improve how our patients feel about themselves.

How does teeth whitening work?

The type of teeth whitening we recommend in our Nederland, TX dental office will depend on your needs. If you are looking to bleach away years of stains from coffee drinking, red wine, or tobacco use, we offer our custom take-home teeth whitening system, which uses the same high-powered whitening gel that we use in the office. All we need to do is take an impression of your teeth and walk you through the process.

Sometimes a tooth can be internally dark due to a dead nerve or from trauma. In these cases, we may recommend an internal whitening process or restoration to improve the appearance of a single tooth or multiple teeth.

For patients with teeth that have medically caused or developmental irregularities, porcelain veneers will cover the front of your tooth structure to give your smile an overall brighter appearance.

Teeth whitening with an experienced Nederland, TX dentist will give you more comfortable and more uniform results that help you attain the whiter, brighter smile you have always wanted.

Teeth whitening is affordable and safe for most healthy patients. It is one of our most requested cosmetic procedures, and we can help you improve your self-confidence and feel proud to show off your pearly whites. Call our dental office to schedule your appointment!

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding in Nederland, TX uses composite resin—the same material used in tooth-colored or white fillings—to hide tooth flaws, discoloration, and shape issues. The resin color blends with your natural tooth color, and it is an inexpensive way to enhance your smile. Dental bonding is also non-invasive.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a cap that goes over a tooth. It is custom-designed to match your surrounding teeth. A dental crown also completes your dental implant and acts as your new replacement tooth following implant placement.

Dental crowns conceal a variety of cosmetic dental issues, including discoloration, shape issues, small gaps between teeth, and chips.

Is Invisalign right for me?

Your Nederland, TX dentist will evaluate you for Invisalign clear aligners.

Invisalign is a tooth-straightening therapy that uses clear aligners to move teeth in line gradually and discretely. The aligners are custom designed to fit your teeth and removable when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

In some cases, Invisalign is the modern-day equivalent of traditional braces.

What are laser gum treatments?

Many patients don’t realize that we can improve the appearance of your gums as well as your teeth. If you have excessive gum tissue, a gummy smile, or need gingival (gum) sculpting after orthodontics, we provide these treatments with the help of laser dentistry. When performed with a laser instead of traditional surgical methods, you experience less pain and bleeding and faster healing time.

What can porcelain veneers conceal?

Dental veneers—often worn by celebrities—are thin shells that go across the front of your teeth. They conceal a variety of dental issues, including:
  • Gummy smiles
  • Cracks in teeth
  • Height discrepancies in teeth
  • Worn teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Small gaps between teeth

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants work very much like your natural teeth. When we surgically place the dental implant into your jawbone, it acts like the roots of your teeth. In fact, when it heals, it actually integrates with your bone. This integration creates a stable foundation for your dental crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture.

Dental implants are easy to clean. In fact, you can treat them like your natural teeth and brush and floss to keep your gums healthy. Healthy gums are essential to the success and longevity of all of your dental restorations, and dental implants are no different. Gum disease can cause implant failure.

Implants consist of several parts. The implant itself, which we surgically place in your bone; the abutment, which holds your restoration; and your crown, the part we see. We will design your dental crown to match the rest of your teeth so that your smile appears seamless. No one will ever know you have a dental implant.

Dental implants provide security for loose-fitting dentures. If you have a difficult time getting your dentures to stay put, implant-supported dentures can help you hold them in place. A few strategically placed implants provide an anchor for your dentures, allowing you to speak and eat confidently. Find out more about this procedure and if you are a good candidate by calling our office!

What is a complete smile makeover?

Sometimes patients come to us with a variety of cosmetic concerns. We are equipped to improve your appearance with a full smile makeover. Smile makeovers require us to use a variety of treatments to achieve the results you desire. In many cases, this could mean multiple visits to our dental office. For those patients who don’t want to worry about how many hours they are in the dental chair, we offer sedation dentistry for your comfort.

In many cases, full smile makeovers can improve function as well as your appearance. If your teeth have excessive wear or other damage, rehabilitating your smile could mean increased comfort for your jaw and your bite. It can also mean less erosion and fewer resulting cavities.
