What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the look of your smile. Cosmetic dentistry can address concerns like the shape, size, and shade of your teeth to create a smile you're proud to share. In contrast, restorative dentistry and general dentistry focus on correcting oral health issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and missing teeth. While restorative and general dentistry lead to better oral health and a functional bite, creating a Hollywood smile isn't the primary goal of these treatment options.

Picture a New Smile Before and After Transformation

This Queens patient had permanent intrinsic stains that affected the shade of her teeth. She also had thinning enamel that has been worn down in the front. Veneers placed by our cosmetic dentists concealed these imperfections, improving the overall shade, size, and symmetry of her teeth.

Featured Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Offered At Our Practice

Invisalign

If the thought of wearing bulky metal braces has led you to put off straightening your smile, Invisalign offers a discreet alternative. Dr. Carmen Every-Degel is recognized as a top Invisalign provider and can determine if the orthodontic treatment is a good option during your next visit to our dentistry office. While you must be committed to wearing the aligners at least 20 to 22 hours a day, they offer a number of benefits to patients who qualify, including:

Comfort

Using a series of customized, clear aligner trays, the Invisalign system is far more comfortable than the brackets and wires of metal braces.

No Restrictions

Since the trays are removable, you can maintain your normal oral hygiene routine. You can also enjoy all of your favorite foods with no restrictions.

Teeth Whitening

Coffee, tea, tobacco, and a number of other factors can have an effect on the luster of your smile. Staining and discoloration can be embarrassing, and difficult to treat with over-the-counter options. Astoria Dental Group offers both Zoom!® and BriteSmile® whitening treatments to safely, quickly, and effectively achieve stunning results that offer the following benefits:

Only One Treatment Needed

Professional whitening can remove the toughest stains and dramatically brighten your smile in just one treatment. While developing your cosmetic treatment plan, our dentists will examine your smile and recommend the teeth whitening treatment that is best for you.

Fast Procedure and Results

The Zoom! whitening process can be done during your lunch hour and can brighten teeth an average of eight shades. BriteSmile whitening uses a proprietary hydrogen peroxide gel that is activated by a blue spectrum light and can brighten your teeth up to 14 shades in just one hour. 

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin tooth-colored porcelain caps that sit comfortably on the front of your teeth. Veneers conceal a variety of concerns and benefit patients looking to improve their smile in many ways.

Premium Materials

Made from medical-grade porcelain, veneers create brilliant smiles with quality and durability you can feel. Today's cutting-edge ceramics are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, allowing veneers to give you a brighter, more balanced smile. 

Versatility 

Porcelain veneers are incredibly versatile and can conceal a number of imperfections, such as chipped, worn, slightly crooked, and permanently stained teeth. 

Multiple Solutions

Astoria Dental Group in Queens also offers LUMINEERS®, a type of minimal-prep veneer. These ultra-thin veneers are a good option for patients with sensitive teeth or who would like a reversible treatment.

Dental Implants

A missing tooth or teeth doesn't just mar your smile – it can have a long-term effect on your health. The jawbone is stimulated by the tooth roots, and when a tooth is lost, the lack of stimulation causes the jawbone tissue to deteriorate. As this atrophy continues, surrounding teeth may shift. Left untreated, bone loss in your jaw can lead to further dental issues such as misalignment and additional tooth loss. It can also cause your face to appear sunken and aged beyond your years.
 

Dental implants, abutment, and restoration

The titanium posts of dental implants act as a substitute for the roots of a missing tooth. Dental implants stimulate the bone tissue in your jaw just like the roots of a tooth and are the only treatment in modern dentistry that can stop the bone loss associated with a missing tooth or teeth.

Dental implants provide a stable foundation for restorations such as a crown, bridge, or denture so you can enjoy the benefits of a complete smile once again.

Take the First Step Towards Loving Your Smile

At Astoria Dental Group in Queens, serving Long Island and greater NYC, providing excellent dental care to promote your oral health is our priority. But our team and dentists are also passionate about the exciting cosmetic improvements we can offer our patients. Our cosmetic procedures include options that are not necessarily offered in every general dentist’s office.

With today's advanced dental technology, no one should have to go through life concerned by the appearance of their teeth and smile. A beautiful smile is a tremendous asset and can result in a significant boost in your confidence. This can have a miraculously positive impact on both your personal and professional life. 

For these reasons, our dentistry practice offers treatment options to fit most budgets and a range of flexible financing options. To schedule an appointment and review your options, contact our Queens dental practice online, or call us today.

Do You Qualify For Treatment?

Our dentists use state-of-the-art techniques and specialty treatments to help you obtain optimal results for a lasting improvement to your smile. If you're looking to improve your smile, contact our compassionate dentists who share the excitement you feel when undergoing this incredible process. Patients looking to start any form of cosmetic dentistry treatment should have the following qualities:

Good Overall Health

In order to undergo any cosmetic treatment, you should be in good overall health. Any conditions such as gum disease or decay must be fully treated before we can address the aesthetic concerns of your smile. If you suffer from any oral health issues, we can provide the effective dental care you need to rebuild your smile's foundation with state-of-the-art restorative procedures.

Realistic Expectations

Once we have addressed any underlying oral health issues, our dentists, Drs. Degel and Every-Degel, can review your cosmetic goals with you. We will go over your options, considering your budget and timeline, in order to develop a personalized treatment plan. During this process, patients should have realistic expectations for what cosmetic dentistry can help them achieve. 

Non-Smoker

Smoking can interrupt the body's natural healing process after you undergo a cosmetic dentistry procedure. To ensure everything goes as planned, we advise patients to stop smoking before their procedure and continue to stay away from smoking as you heal from the services you receive. This is especially important for procedures like dental implants that have a long healing process.

Sufficient Bone Density

This factor may apply if you want dental implants included in your treatment plan. Dental implants are inserted into your jaw, which means there needs to be adequate jaw support for the implants. If you have bone atrophy, bone grafting can give you the support you need to qualify. Our team will discuss the procedure with you when you come into our office for a consultation. 

Reach out to Our Practice Ask About Qualification Factors

Whether you are ready for a smile makeover or an individually tailored mini makeover, our cosmetic dentistry team can meet your needs.
