Palm Beach Gardens area dentist discusses treatment options in cosmetic dentistry

At the practice of Drs. James Medlock and Elizabeth Keith in Palm Beach Gardens, we want to help patients enjoy the benefits available when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry is an aspect of dentistry that focuses on the aesthetics of the smile. When there are imperfections that are negatively affecting their appearance, patients can choose to have elective treatment options performed to enhance their smiles and improve their overall look. Some of the treatment options in cosmetic dentistry include the following services:
Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can exude that Hollywood confidence that celebrities have. However, it doesn’t come with the same Hollywood price tag! Drs. James Medlock and Elizabeth Keith are proud to offer professional teeth whitening services that exceed the results achieved with over-the-counter options.
Porcelain Veneers
Covering imperfections of the smile can be done with porcelain veneers. These thin facings are custom made with ceramic to bond over the front of teeth to disguise issues such as fractures and permanent staining on the anterior teeth.
Dental Bonding
The Composite resin material is often used as an aesthetic repair for teeth that may be broken or unsightly. This same material is an aesthetic alternative to silver amalgam fillings used by other dentists to repair areas of decay.
Dentures
Drs. James Medlock and Elizabeth Keith also provide dentures for missing teeth, including partial and full dentures. They are a great way to repair the smile and restore functionality, beauty, and health.
Dental Implants
Placing restorations such as implants is another way to replace missing teeth. These standalone, permanent restorations are great for patients who are missing just one tooth within the dental arch from trauma, disease, or extraction.
Dental Crowns
Crowns, sometimes referred to as caps, are a common way to add an extra layer of protection to natural teeth that are worn or broken. Crowns may also be fabricated to place over the abutment of a dental implant for restoration.
Bridges
Bridges are a great go-to option for patients who want to replace missing teeth in a permanent way but who are not appropriate candidates for dental implants.
