At Bethesda Row Dental, we combine the art and science of dentistry, to transform less-than-perfect looking smiles into ones that dazzle.
Whether the appearance of your smile has suffered due to lost, missing, damaged, stained, or otherwise imperfect teeth, we can help! Armed with a comprehensive knowledge of dental aesthetics as well as a thorough understanding of complex requirements of an optimally functional bite, we provide patients with beautiful and healthy smiles that serve them well for years to come.
If your teeth suffer from gaps, chips, stains, or discolorations you may be a candidate for veneers, a highly effective and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can achieve beautiful results.
One of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available, veneers can mask a host of dental imperfections to give you the beautiful smile that you’ve always wanted. Veneers not only enhance and improve the shape of your teeth, creating an overall whiter, brighter, and naturally pleasing smile that is both strong and durable.
There are various types of metal-free crowns available in dentistry today that will give you the beautiful smile you have long desired. These crowns are made of the only material that gives the desired translucent and esthetically pleasing look of natural teeth. Because they are metal-free, there is almost no risk of an allergic reaction, and they are highly biocompatible.
Not only the beauty of these materials, but the strength and endurance make them the most desirable for replacing broken, chipped and worn-down teeth, closing spaces between teeth, and reshaping mis-aligned teeth.
A natural-looking composite resin is carefully shaped and applied to a tooth that is discolored, chipped, or otherwise aesthetically displeasing. Bonding is a semi-permanent treatment option that will need to be replaced more frequently as they become stained and discolored over time, and breakdown from normal wear and tear.
Comfortable, clear aligners can give you that straight beautiful smile without the need for braces. The aligners are virtually invisible and, because they are removable, you do not need to give up your favorite foods or sacrifice your current smile while we work to achieve a straighter smile for you.
Also known as Gingival Contouring, is one option that can help reshape your gumline and permanently smooth out an uneven gumline. Everyone’s gumline is different and many people feel self-conscious about their “gummy smile” and “short teeth”. The good news is there’s a way to change it with minimally invasive gum sculpting.
Are you unhappy with the size or shape of your gums? Just let us know! We’re happy to discuss your treatment options.
While there are many over the counter options for teeth whitening, the most effective and safest teeth whitening systems are the professional strength ones available at the dentist’s office. A dental professional whitening system offers a higher concentration of whitening components and delivers them to the teeth in the most efficient manner to achieve optimal results.
At Bethesda Row Dental, we offer two exceptional options for tooth whitening. You can choose either an in-office tooth whitening procedure or a professional take home system. The biggest advantage of the in-office procedure is that in as little as one hour you can achieve a smile that is several shades whiter and brighter than the original color of your teeth.
Our professional strength take home system also produces excellent results. However, this is achieved by way of a more gradual process. Our take home kit may be prescribed alone, or after an in-office treatment to perfect or maintain the in- office result.
Achieving Beautiful Smiles Together
A successful and satisfying cosmetic treatment plan values patient input. As part of a cosmetic smile makeover consultation, your interests and concerns are discussed while your smile is carefully analyzed to determine which procedures will provide the most pleasing results of care.
With conservative and minimally invasive procedures such as veneers, metal-free crowns and teeth whitening treatments, it’s possible to address a wide range of imperfections and achieve dramatic smile improvements. If cavities, significant structural damage, or cosmetic flaws are present, composite fillings, as well as full-coverage crowns offer excellent solutions in care.
There’s also no reason to despair if the appearance and function of your smile is affected by missing teeth! Today, patients who are looking to rebuild a complete and beautiful smile have multiple choices in care. From full restoration with dental implants to the fabrication of dental bridges and dentures, we help patients reestablish their smiles with a range to treatment options.
It’s important to remember that there are almost always choices and multiple ways of creating a beautiful smile. At Bethesda Row Dental, we’re committed to discussing all your treatment options in a comfortable pressure-free environment. Our team of professionals is dedicated to helping you achieve the beautiful smile you have always wanted, while offering all solutions possible!
White spot lesions have an opaque appearance and are seen on teeth after the subsurface layer of enamel on a tooth becomes demineralized. This is often due to poor oral hygiene and plaque, bacteria and acid accumulation on teeth.
The good news is there are treatments available now that we didn’t have ten years ago! Treatments that can almost eliminate your white spots.
Cosmetic dentistry offers solutions to improve the look of teeth that are stained, discolored, chipped, worn down, misshapen, a little gapped, or misaligned. It combines the art and science of dentistry to transform a less-than-perfect smile into one that looks naturally beautiful while at the same time enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
The great thing about cosmetic dentistry is that it offers multiple solutions to quickly improve the look of one’s smile. It all depends on your specific dental needs and cosmetic smile goals. While procedures such as teeth-whitening, tooth-colored fillings, and dental bonding typically provide dramatic improvements in just a single visit, others such as dental veneers only take a couple of visits.
A teeth whitening procedure as provided by our office is often the simplest, quickest, and most effective way to significantly lighten and brighten your smile.
Porcelain veneers are capable of concealing a range of imperfections, dramatically improving the look of teeth that are misshapen, have minor chips, enamel defects, or stains. They also provide an excellent solution for closing small gaps as well as addressing other minor alignment issues. While teeth whitening procedures can effectively treat many cases of dental stains or discolorations to produce cosmetically pleasing results, darker stains, as well as specific issues involving the size, shape, and alignment of the teeth, are better addressed with porcelain veneers.
How a back tooth is repaired and restored depends on the extent of the cavity or damage it has sustained. In many cases, a tooth-colored filling is often sufficient to restore the form and function of a back tooth. However, when a significant amount of tooth structure is damaged, or the tooth has had a root canal, it’s often necessary to fabricate a full coverage crown. In this way, the remaining tooth structure is protected from further damage while full function and a natural- looking smile is restored.
Whether or not a chipped or fractured tooth requires a dental crown depends on the extent of the damage. Some minor chips can be addressed with a dental bonding procedure or a veneer. When a significant amount of tooth structure is lost, rebuilding the form and function of the involved tooth may require a full coverage crown.
While conventional dental bridges and dentures offer effective and satisfying ways to rebuild a complete and attractive smile, dental implants represent the most advanced solutions for replacing missing teeth. With dental implants, our office can replace a single tooth or multiple ones to give you a smile that feels, looks, and functions like a natural one. Dental implants behave in much the same way as the root of an actual tooth, providing stable, secure, and long-lasting results of care.
How long your teeth whitening lasts depends on your lifestyle. Eating, drinking, and smoking habits can have a big impact on maintaining your result. Our office will inform you which food, beverages, or habits can stain your newly whitened smile. As needed, we’ll also help you maintain a white and vibrant smile with a periodic, safe, and effective touch-up whitening procedure.
At the office of Bethesda Row Dental, we want every patient to enjoy the benefits of a beautiful and healthy smile. We strive to make dental care affordable and accessible. Improving the look of your smile is a worthwhile investment, and we always try to optimize any dental insurance benefits to cover your work. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that cosmetic dental procedures may not be covered by your plan. You can count on our office to explain every cosmetic option available to address your needs and the fees involved. To help you begin care without any additional stress or day, we can discuss different payment options and financing plans.
Although achieving aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting results of care requires knowledge, experience, and technical proficiency, it also calls for a professional with an artistic eye and awareness of facial aesthetics. At the office of Bethesda Row Dental, we successfully combine the art and science of dentistry to create smiles that are as beautiful as they are healthy. From performing professional teeth whitening procedures, fabricating custom dental veneers or crowns to rebuilding complete and beautiful smiles with dental implants and much more, we’re well equipped to transform less-than-perfect smiles into ones that look good and feel great.
