More than one-third of adults in the U.S. are unhappy with their smiles. Your smile is one of the first things people often notice about you, so being discontent with yours can make you self-conscious and keep you from being comfortable around others. Working with a cosmetic dentist can make any oral condition that might be affecting your self-image a thing of the past.

What Is a Cosmetic Dentist?

Cosmetic dentists focus on improving the appearance and aesthetics of their patients’ smiles. Some of the most common services cosmetic dentists typically provide are teeth whitening, dental fillings, crowns, and bridges. 

Cosmetic dentistry can greatly benefit patients with the following:

• Misshapen teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Broken teeth
• Uneven teeth
• Gaps between teeth

At Brockley Dental, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

When you work with a cosmetic dentist at Brockley Dental, you gain access to a variety of effective treatment options. Here are a few of our most popular services.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. Putting them in place involves a less invasive procedure than standard dental implants. They’re a great option for people who are missing teeth and want to fill in the gaps.

Mini implants have the same structure and function as standard implants but are much smaller, consisting only of a one-piece screw. 

Because they don’t need to go under the gum surface, installing them is quick and easy. The recovery process is also fast, and you don’t even have to worry about sutures. 

Mini dental implants can help you regain the full force of your bite while giving you back your smile.

Dentures

We provide implant-retained dentures for those who have lost several or all of their teeth. Standard dentures can be uncomfortable and require adhesives that don’t always provide adequate stability, but that’s not an issue with implant-retained dentures. 

These dentures are custom-made and designed to snap into place over mini dental implants. This makes them extremely stable while still allowing you to easily remove them as needed.

Implant-retained dentures can be used to replace an entire lower or upper denture or both.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction

We offer full-mouth reconstruction services for patients who have lost all of their teeth. 

We might employ a combination of three different procedures for a full-mouth reconstruction. First, we can use an implant-retained denture for both your upper and lower teeth, providing a strong, stable base.

We can also install a semi-removable bridge, which we can remove if needed at our office but which otherwise stays in place. Depending on your jaw shape and bone density, we can install these bridges with six to ten implants.

Another option is “Fix-on-Six.” This approach allows us to install multiple implants simultaneously, reducing the total length of the procedure and ensuring a quicker recovery process. We make special implant devices out of ultra-hard zirconia, so you’ll never have to worry about them breaking.

Dental Crowns and Fillings

Dental crowns and dental fillings can help protect teeth from extensive decay or damage. Our office offers tooth-colored white composite fillings and various types of crowns.

Dental Bridges

Brockley Dental also offers dental bridges for those who have lost teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth held in place by the teeth on either side of the gap. We bond the bridges to your natural teeth to guarantee that they’re sturdy and long-lasting.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin coverings that cover the front of teeth to improve their appearance. They look just like natural teeth and can solve many frustrating cosmetic issues, including gaps, chips, and discoloration.

Oral Surgery

If you need to have one or more teeth pulled, we can schedule oral surgery right at our comfortable, private office without forcing you to get a referral or schedule multiple appointments. In addition to tooth extraction, we’re qualified to perform dental implant procedures and implant-retained dentures.

Teeth Whitening

Our premium teeth-whitening procedures can help you get the dazzling teeth of your dreams. We employ the highly regarded iSmile teeth-whitening system, which starts at the office but continues at home with the aid of special gels and trays.

Professional teeth whitening is always faster, safer, and more effective than at-home kits, so if you want brighter, whiter teeth, trust the experts at Brockley Dental. 

Tooth Extractions

Unfortunately, there are instances where we can’t save a damaged tooth. The decay may be too severe, or there may not be enough of the tooth left for us to cover with a crown. A tooth extraction may be necessary to ensure the infection doesn’t spread. 

Like our other procedures, we perform tooth extractions right at our Butler office and can put in mini dental implants on the same day. That way, you won’t have to worry about bone loss from a missing tooth.

Sedation Dentistry

We offer several safe sedation options for those with dental anxiety, including nitrous oxide and oral sedatives. We also have two dental therapy dogs who can accompany you and help you relax during your treatment. Younger children especially love interacting with our adorable canine companions.

PRF

Platelet-rich fibrin is an injection that can stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It can be an excellent tool to accelerate healing following a surgical procedure like a dental implant.

We make PRF from your blood, separating the components and creating a concentrated injection. Because it’s naturally derived from your own body, there’s no risk of allergic reactions or other complications.
