Cosmetic Dentistry

The composite white filling is an increasingly popular alternative to the traditional silver amalgam filling. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible, and our team at Shadow Brook Dental Care can shade them according to the color of your teeth, creating a perfect match and giving you a beautiful, white smile!

Cosmetic contouring, also called enameloplasty or tooth reshaping, is a minor and relatively inexpensive procedure that sculpts the tooth into the desired shape. It is useful for making minor corrections in a tooth's size and shape.  Since enamel doesn't contain nerve endings and doesn't grow back, the procedure is painless, yet produces instant, permanent results.

Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth or teeth in between. These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Bridges can restore your smile, prevent further tooth misalignment, and aid your ability to chew comfortably.

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size or length. These veneers are a popular option because they mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.  Dental veneers can also provide relief from the tooth pain associated with worn enamel.
