4 cosmetic dentistry services to get you smiling again

You know you don’t like the look of your smile, but you may be wondering what to do about it. Let Portland Dental guide you toward the most appropriate treatments to reach your smile goals. In your search for a “cosmetic dentist near me in Portland, Oregon,” Dr. Kaveendra Ranasinghe and our team are pleased to provide a glimpse into four services to bring out the natural, beautiful best in your smile.

1 – Professional teeth whitening

This is arguably the most “asked about” cosmetic dentistry service. Stain-free teeth are a universally coveted and timeless smile and facial characteristic. At our office, Dr. Kaveen not only offers effective systems made with powerful whitening gels but also the fastest and most convenient way to whiten teeth. In one visit, he can lighten your stained or yellow teeth by several shades. Since the entire process is performed by Dr. Kaveen, your safety, comfort, and even application of the whitening gel are ensured. 

2 – Dental bonding 

Bonding is also a fast procedure that can be used to treat particularly stubborn or “whitening-resistant” stains. It is also highly versatile. We prepare, shape, apply, and secure composite resin material to cover up: 

• Minor chips 
• Modest cracks
• Gaps or empty spaces between two teeth
• Poor contours 

In addition to reshaping jagged or irregularly contoured teeth, Dr. Kaveen may add height to a tooth that is “undersized” or worn down. The idea is to camouflage imperfections, so they are no longer visible in the smile. Resolving these imperfections brings beautiful balance and symmetry to your smile. 

3 – Porcelain veneers

Veneers are also applied to cover many of the cosmetic concerns mentioned above. However, they differ in other ways from bonding. Whereas bonding can be completed in a single visit, veneers typically require at least two appointments. That is because each veneer is crafted beautifully by our lab. The process is well worth the wait for many of our patients, because porcelain veneers are noted for their:

• Resistance to staining 
• Strength
• Ability to mimic the properties of enamel for a natural appearance
• Durability – veneers can last for several years with good care

4 – Invisalign®

Invisalign^® corrects crooked, crowded, and misaligned teeth. These spacing issues can mar the appearance of your smile. They can also impact your oral health, because crowded and misaligned teeth are simply harder to clean properly than evenly spaced teeth. Invisalign^® not only corrects cosmetic spacing issues, but it is also cosmetic by its very nature. Instead of using silver-colored metal braces, Invisalign^® effectively repositions the teeth with special aligners that are made from a transparent and smooth plastic. The aligners are not visible when you smile, do not rub up uncomfortably against tissues in your mouth, and can even be removed for easy brushing, flossing, and eating throughout treatment. 

Of course, all our restorative dentistry treatments also have a cosmetic component. We believe that everything from fillings to bridges should not only be strong, healthy, and functional, but they should also look as natural and pleasing to the eye. So, you can have it all at Portland Dental. Our team has an uncompromising commitment to cosmetic and restorative dentistry that blends both premium aesthetics and strength.
