Cosmetic Dentistry In Tucson, AZ

A person who feels self-conscious about their teeth may avoid family pictures, stop themselves from laughing, or cover their smile with a hand. Thankfully, most issues, such as tooth gaps and discoloration, can easily be addressed with cosmetic dental procedures.

At Rincon Dentistry here in Tucson, we believe every patient deserves to feel proud of their smile. Our cosmetic dental care goes beyond improving appearance, it helps you feel comfortable, boosts your confidence, and makes everyday moments easier to enjoy.

From whitening away years of stains to reshaping worn or chipped teeth, our treatments are designed to bring out the best in your natural smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry: What Is It?

The practice of cosmetic dentistry encompasses all procedures meant to make a patient’s gums, smile, or teeth look better. Many of today’s procedures also offer health benefits, because closing gaps and replacing missing teeth may reduce the risk of dental cavities.

Because these procedures allow patients to laugh and smile without worry, they often come away with increased self-confidence. While numerous procedures fall under the classification of cosmetic dentistry, we offer a range of proven treatments designed to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted.

• Teeth Whitening to help you brighten your smile safely and effectively
• Veneers that transform cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth naturally
• Cosmetic Dental Crowns to restore worn, cracked, or deeply stained teeth
• Composite Bonding to repair chips, fill gaps, and reshape your teeth
• Onlays & Inlays that strengthen and restore damaged teeth without full crowns
• Dental Implants which permanently replace missing teeth for a confident smile
• Invisalign & Cosmetic Braces to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably
• Gum Contouring & Reshaping which balances uneven gumlines for a healthier look
• Advanced Cosmetic Procedures designed for full-mouth restorations and personalized smile plans

Onlays and Inlays

If you are dealing with cracked or chipped teeth, ask one of our dentists about onlays, inlays, and other filling options. Sometimes referred to as partial crowns, onlays and inlays are often suggested when a patient’s teeth are too damaged for standard fillings but don’t need a full crown.

Crafted to match the natural color of a patient’s teeth, a dentist will mold the filling directly onto the affected area. Onlays and inlays not only restore the appearance, function, and structural integrity of your teeth, but they also decrease the risk of cavities, which may lead to decay, tooth loss, and other problems.

Tooth Whitening

As people age, tooth discoloration becomes a common problem. Coffee, red wine, and other beverages cause stains, as do habits such as chewing or smoking tobacco. While over-the-counter products are widely available, most are ineffective and can be problematic if misused. At Rincon Dentistry, we offer professional services for a gleaming white smile.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth may lead to multiple complications, like tooth misalignment, jawbone deterioration, and difficulty speaking and chewing. Implants are a permanent solution to the problems posed by missing teeth.

Depending on a patient’s requirements and the condition of their jawbone, implant treatment may require multiple appointments. Once the treatment plan has been completed, your implants will work and look just like natural teeth, offering numerous health benefits and increased self-confidence.

Veneers

Ceramic dental veneers can take crooked, cracked, and chipped teeth and make them look like new. A veneer is a layer that’s affixed to the top of a discolored or damaged tooth.

Our local cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel and applying an adhesive before placing the veneer. Once they are installed, veneers can last for ten years or more, especially when patients avoid problematic beverages and take precautions during contact sports.

Composite Bonding

This non-invasive procedure uses composite resin materials to change the shape and appearance of the teeth and is typically used to repair minor damage and fill gaps. Your dentist will choose materials that match the appearance of your other teeth, so they look completely natural. If decay is an issue, we may need to repair or remove the damaged areas before applying the resin.

Cosmetic Dental Crowns

Cosmetic crowns restore teeth that are chipped, worn, or deeply stained. Modern porcelain and ceramic crowns are made to match your smile, blending in so they look completely natural.

Many of our patients who live near the Tucson Botanical Gardens choose crowns when bonding or fillings are not enough to rebuild strength and appearance.

Invisalign and Cosmetic Braces

Clear aligners like Invisalign make it possible to straighten teeth without wires or brackets. They are comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible when worn.

Families in Tucson and nearby areas often choose our Invisalign to improve their smiles while keeping life simple, from school events to work meetings.

Gum Contouring and Reshaping

A smile can look uneven when gums cover too much of the teeth. Gum contouring gently reshapes the gumline, creating balance and a healthier appearance. Many of our neighbors from around Reid Park Zoo find this treatment boosts their confidence without major changes to their teeth.

The Advantages of Cosmetic Dentistry

While our patients seek guidance for numerous reasons, most people count on us to:

• Close visible gaps between the teeth.
• Align over- and under-bites.
• Remove stains, including coffee, tea, and wine stains, before special events.
• Conceal or repair chipped, cracked, or broken teeth.

How to Qualify for Treatment

The ideal candidate for cosmetic dentistry is someone with healthy gums and teeth. It’s crucial to schedule twice-yearly teeth cleanings and oral exams; those with specific health conditions may need more frequent appointments. Keeping a regular oral care routine is the easiest way to ensure the lasting success of the cosmetic dental procedures.

The road to a healthy, happy smile starts with a no-obligation consultation in our offices. A dentist will examine patient’s gums and teeth to ensure that the person is a suitable candidate for cosmetic dentistry. If the paients hasn’t had x-rays in a while, we may take them. During the consultation, we will learn about patient’s goals and preferences so we can give him/her what the person is looking for in a healthy new smile. If cosmetic dentistry is right for the patient, we will work with the paitent to create a treatment plan.

Caring For the New Smile

The level of care a patient receives after a procedure may make the difference between temporary and lasting results. We supply customized after-care instructions to every patient, and we are always here to offer tips and advice.

While at-home care is important, regular checkups and cleanings are essential to the success of any cosmetic dental procedure. Just as regular at-home care keeps the gums and teeth healthy it also helps the new smile last longer.

Great cosmetic dentistry, along with good oral hygiene habits, make for the healthiest smiles and the longest-lasting procedural results. Regular checkups allow our dentists to detect issues before they damage the restorations or threaten the oral health. Dental cleanings eliminate the germs that cause gum disease and cavities.

While our dentists can do great things, no amount of cosmetic or restorative dentistry can replace effective oral care. That’s the job, and we are here to help to do it. If the have noticed changes in oral health such as loose dental crowns or blistering gums don’t wait for the next routine cleaning. Instead, call Rincon Dentistry as soon as possible.
