Our Cosmetic Dental Services in Tucson, AZ
When you come to our office for treatment, we can improve your smile with different cosmetic services.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. It can be done in-office or through take-home kits. Both methods aim to remove stains and brighten your smile. In-office whitening treatments give quicker results and are performed under close supervision. In fact, we use laser technology to improve your whitening process. Take-home kits offer flexibility and can be used according to your schedule. Dr. Mohr ensures you get the right type of treatment to achieve the best results.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells placed on the front surface of teeth. They help to cover imperfections like chips, gaps, and discoloration. There are two main types: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Porcelain veneers are durable and mimic the natural look of teeth. Composite veneers are less expensive but may not last as long. Dr. Mohr will discuss which option best suits your needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. They consist of a metal post implanted into the jawbone and a crown placed on top. Implants look and feel like natural teeth. The process usually takes several months. However, the benefits are long-lasting. Proper maintenance by regular brushing and flossing ensures their longevity. Dr. Mohr provides detailed guidance on how to care for your new implants.
Bonding and Cosmetic Contouring
This is a non-invasive, more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers. We can use this for slight chips, slight discolorations, and other slight defects. Our team can use bonding for children and teens.
Composite resin fillings are used to fill a tooth after decay is removed. The most obvious advantage over the old metal fillings is that they are tooth colored and virtually unnoticeable. More importantly, metal fillings expand and contract with temperature, slowly causing cracks in the tooth. This allows bacteria underneath the filling, causing recurrent decay that is difficult to detect. Sometimes, these small cracks become fractures, which can lead to serious damage to the tooth. Because of this, many people choose to replace their old silver fillings with more durable composite resin.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Choosing cosmetic procedures can drastically improve your smile and sense of well-being.
Enhanced Smile Confidence
A bright and well-aligned smile gives you more confidence. It can improve your social interactions and professional opportunities. When you are confident, you naturally smile more, which can have a positive effect on those around you. Dr. Mohr aims to help you achieve a smile that you are proud of.
Improved Oral Health
Cosmetic dentistry is not just about aesthetics. Procedures like dental implants and veneers also help improve your oral health. For instance, filling gaps in your teeth can prevent further dental issues. Straightening crooked teeth can make cleaning easier and reduce the risk of cavities.
Overall Well-being
A healthy, beautiful smile can contribute to your overall happiness and well-being. When you are less worried about your appearance, you can focus more on enjoying life. Improved self-esteem and confidence can positively impact your mental health, making you feel better about yourself.
