From Whitening to Full Makeovers: Cosmetic Dentistry at Gentle Dental
At Gentle Dental, we recognize that the appearance of your teeth can influence your self-assurance, communication, and everyday interactions. Our cosmetic dentistry procedures involve optimizing your teeth's natural shape, position, and form with proven techniques to fit your needs. Whether you're correcting chips, discoloration, crookedness, or gaps, our experienced dental staff is waiting to help.
With three convenient locations in Southern Maine -South Portland, Biddeford, and Topsham—we provide reliable cosmetic care. Each treatment is given accurately, supported by ongoing education, and optimized for long-lasting results.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Unlike restorative care, which addresses functional damage or disease, cosmetic dentistry primarily concerns aesthetic enhancements. At Gentle Dental, we use cosmetic processes to improve appearance and support oral wellness.
Each patient's cosmetic care is customized to suit them. We conduct a thorough checkup, sit down with you to assess your requirements, and recommend procedures that work best for your situation, whether you have teeth with uneven edges, discoloration, big cracks, or more minor blemishes.
Detailed Cosmetic Care We Offer
- Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a new orthodontic choice for teens and adults who prefer a less visible way to straighten teeth. Unlike metal braces, clear aligners are transparent and removable, allowing for more flexibility during meals, brushing, or special occasions.
At Gentle Dental, we provide a full consultation and personalized treatment plan for those who want clear aligners. Our approach centers on convenience, cosmetic satisfaction, and eventual alignment without discomfort or visibility of wires and brackets.
- Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin layers bonded onto the front surface. They cover major cosmetic flaws ranging from chipped teeth to minor misalignment, discoloration, and irregular shape. Veneers are highly durable and molded to blend with your natural teeth.
Our dental professionals ensure each veneer is shaped and colored individually for a uniform, classy result. Treatment includes comprehensive imaging, consultation, and preparation for long-term success.
- Contouring and Reshaping of Teeth
Contouring and reshaping are quick, non-impact options for mildly irregular teeth shape, length, or texture. The procedure removes small quantities of enamel to reshape and place teeth accurately.
Ideal for teeth that appear too long, overlap each other a bit, or have uneven edges, this can be performed alone or together with other procedures like whitening or bonding.
- Dental Bonding
Tooth-colored resin is used in dental bonding to replace and enhance tooth decay, chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. The material is shaped and polished to the color of the adjacent teeth, making a natural, shiny appearance.
Bonding is an inexpensive and uncomplicated cosmetic procedure that typically requires a single visit. It is especially ideal for patients who desire quick repairs to certain imperfections.
- Professional Teeth Whitening
Discoloration and staining can be due to diet, age, or drugs. Our professional whitening treatments provide a deeper and longer-lasting result than over-the-counter products. Safe and non-toxic materials reduce tooth color with no enamel damage and minimal or no sensitivity.
- Full Cosmetic Restorations
Some patients can be treated with a combination of multiple cosmetic treatments in one complete treatment plan. We offer full cosmetic makeovers at our Southern Maine offices, and each patient's want is specially addressed. This can combine contouring, veneers, clear aligners, whitening, and bonding.
We start with a thorough evaluation and imaging appointment, and then have a treatment plan that is crafted to provide consistent, life-changing results in the long term.
