Cosmetic Dentistry | Aesthetic Procedures
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile. At Gulati Family Dentistry, we offer simple and effective treatments that address concerns such as discoloration, chips, uneven tooth shape, and small gaps. Using modern techniques and bio-compatible materials, we help patients achieve a more confident and natural-looking smile.
While cosmetic procedures are often elective, they provide more than just aesthetic benefits. Many treatments also support better oral hygiene, reduce tooth wear, and improve your quality of life by making daily interactions more comfortable. Whether you're preparing for a special event or simply want to feel more confident about your smile, we will discuss your goals and customize a plan that’s right for you.
Teeth Whitening – Take-Home Kits
Professional teeth whitening is a safe, convenient way to brighten your smile from the comfort of your home. At our office, we begin by taking an impression of your teeth to create custom whitening trays designed specifically for your mouth. Once ready, we’ll provide you with the trays and a professional-grade whitening gel.
Apply the gel using the trays for approximately 30 minutes a day over the course of 5 to 7 days. This gradual process allows for safe and effective stain removal with minimal sensitivity. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during treatment, but this typically fades within 24 to 48 hours.
It’s important to understand that whitening results vary from person to person based on factors such as genetics, existing stains, medications, or tobacco use. While not every patient achieves a perfect white shade, our team will set realistic expectations and guide you toward the best results possible.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive treatment used to improve the look of chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, as well as to close small gaps. A tooth-colored resin is applied to the affected area and carefully shaped to blend naturally with the rest of your smile. Once in place, the material is hardened and polished for a smooth, lasting finish.
This procedure is ideal for those looking for a conservative way to enhance their smile without removing healthy tooth structure. Dental bonding can also be used for aesthetic contouring, which involves reshaping uneven or misaligned teeth to create a more balanced appearance.
Bonding is typically completed in just one visit and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for patients looking to make small but noticeable improvements to their smile.
Next Step to Brightening Your Smile
During your consultation, our dentist will assess your goals and walk you through available treatment options. We begin with a complete oral exam, evaluating tooth color, shape, and overall dental health. Based on this, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your vision and supports long-term oral health.
As a practice rooted in biological dentistry, we use bio-compatible materials and recommend the most conservative solutions whenever possible. We provide all cosmetic services in-office, allowing you to receive care from the team you trust without needing a referral. Our goal is to deliver results that are both beautiful and realistic, with a focus on your comfort and satisfaction every step of the way.
