The Art & Science Of Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is where precision meets creativity. At Appomattox Family Dentistry, we approach every cosmetic case with both scientific expertise and an artistic eye to bring out the natural beauty of your smile. It’s not just about making teeth look better—it’s about restoring balance, function, and confidence through thoughtful design and advanced techniques.
Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account the shape of your face, the health of your teeth, and your personal goals. From selecting the perfect shade of white to adjusting the contour of a single tooth, every detail matters. We use modern digital tools like intraoral scanners and imaging software to enhance accuracy, allowing us to preview results and fine-tune your care with greater precision.
The Benefits Beyond A Beautiful Smile
A beautiful smile has the power to transform more than just your appearance. Many patients report feeling more outgoing, confident, and optimistic after cosmetic treatment. Whether it’s smiling more freely in photos or speaking up during social and professional conversations, the psychological boost of cosmetic dentistry is real and often life-changing.
Beyond confidence, many cosmetic procedures also come with functional perks. Smoothing rough tooth edges or aligning crooked teeth can improve bite function and reduce enamel wear. Investing in your smile also tends to inspire better daily habits—patients often feel more motivated to brush, floss, and maintain regular dental check-ups after seeing their refreshed smile.
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Bonding
Dental bonding is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve the appearance of a tooth. Using a tooth-colored composite resin, we can correct small imperfections like chips, gaps, uneven edges, or discoloration. The resin is shaped and polished directly on the tooth, blending seamlessly with your natural enamel for a subtle yet impactful improvement.
Bonding is an excellent choice for patients looking for a quick cosmetic fix without the commitment of more involved procedures. It doesn’t require altering the tooth’s structure, so it's a conservative option that maintains your healthy enamel. In many cases, bonding can be completed in a single visit, making it ideal for busy schedules and same-day smile enhancements.
Zoom® Teeth Whitening
Zoom in-office whitening is a fast, effective treatment designed to give you a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit. The system uses a professional-grade whitening gel activated by a special LED light to break down deep stains on the enamel. The result is a smile that’s several shades whiter—perfect for weddings, reunions, interviews, or simply boosting your confidence.
We begin by protecting your gums and applying the whitening gel in cycles, carefully monitoring your comfort and results. The process typically takes about an hour, and you’ll leave with a visibly brighter smile. We also provide custom trays and take-home gel so you can maintain your results over time. It’s a safe, dentist-supervised treatment that delivers real, lasting results.
Opalescence™ Teeth Whitening
For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, Opalescence provides professional-grade results with flexible scheduling. This take-home system includes custom trays designed specifically for your teeth, along with a powerful yet gentle whitening gel that works over several days or weeks, depending on your preferences and goals.
Unlike store-bought whitening kits, Opalescence offers better coverage, more consistent results, and a lower risk of sensitivity. You can whiten during the day or overnight based on your routine. With guidance from our dental team, you’ll know exactly how to use the system safely and effectively—getting the smile you want from the comfort of your own home.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to create a flawless, symmetrical smile. Veneers are an ideal option for correcting discolored, chipped, worn, uneven, or slightly crooked teeth. Because they’re made from high-quality ceramic materials, veneers mimic the look and feel of natural enamel while providing exceptional durability.
The veneer process typically takes two visits. During your first appointment, we prepare the teeth and take digital impressions, which are sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are made. At your second visit, the veneers are securely bonded in place and polished for a natural shine. The results are immediate, dramatic, and long-lasting, with minimal upkeep and resistance to staining.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes. They’re used when a tooth is too damaged or weak for a simple filling but still worth saving. A crown covers the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Whether due to decay, injury, or wear, crowns provide a durable solution that also enhances your smile’s aesthetics.
Our crowns are made from high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials, chosen to match the shade and translucency of your natural teeth. We use digital scanning for precise measurements and design, ensuring a comfortable fit and beautiful finish. Once placed, porcelain crowns look and feel just like your natural teeth—only stronger and more resilient.
Why Choose Professional Treatment
Choosing professional cosmetic treatment over over-the-counter alternatives means investing in lasting results, safer procedures, and expert guidance. Our experienced dental team evaluates your unique oral health and tailors each procedure to fit your specific goals—whether that’s a quick touch-up or a complete transformation.
We use only the best materials, including high-strength ceramic, medical-grade resin, and precision tools that aren’t available through DIY options. This ensures your results look natural, last longer, and are achieved with minimal risk. You’ll also receive personalized aftercare instructions and ongoing support to keep your smile at its best.
