Cosmetic Dentistry Baytown

Veneers are a true cornerstone of cosmetic dentistry because of their comprehensively transformative nature – our patients often use them to correct several dental problems at once, from stains and chips to gaps and misaligned teeth. This is possible because the veneer is essentially a wafer-thin shell, which can be securely fitted over just the front surfaces of the natural teeth. The final result looks seamless while still allowing for plenty of lasting oral function and durability.

When replenishing damaged or incomplete teeth, we never want our patients to be left worrying about the loss of their attractive smile. That’s why we highly recommend metal-free materials like EMAX for dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and other restorative work! This provides not only a cosmetically seamless match for natural tooth enamel, even reflecting light in the same way, but excellent durability as well.

Even if you have a dental flaw that’s relatively small, such as a thin crack or gap between teeth, it can still be distracting to see in photos. Direct bonding is a fast and simple way to correct these little frustrations – in most cases, it will only require a single appointment to complete. Dr. Hutto will apply flexible composite resin that’s been precisely shaded to match your current smile’s color. After artistically sculpting it into a shape that hides the issue from view, he will harden the new addition in place with a hi-tech curing light so that it can last for several years.

Many patients struggle with teeth that are stained, discolored, or simply not as bright as they once were. If you’re ready to brighten your look and reclaim the self-confidence you deserve, consider pursuing in-office teeth whitening. With the power of KOR, our doctors can lighten tooth enamel by several shades over the course of a single appointment. This is the perfect cosmetic service for patients who are looking for results FAST, such as if you have a wedding or a graduation coming up.

Many patients prefer to whiten their smiles at a more gradual and flexible pace instead of all at once. Thankfully, our Baytown practice can offer help that’s much more potent and successful than basic teeth whitening kits found at the local pharmacy. We use Opalescence for our take-home kits, which is a proven brand of professional teeth whitening that will brighten enamel dramatically after a couple of weeks of diligent use. The patient simply has to use the provided bleaching gel and custom oral tray as directed each day.

For some patients, their dissatisfaction with their appearance isn’t actually caused by the teeth at all. Instead, they have an “excessive gingival display,” which is a fancy name for an overly gummy smile. By gently removing the excessive tissue and reshaping the natural gumline, Dr. Hutto can create gorgeous, lasting improvements. In addition to general gum lifts, we can also perform crown lengthening in particular, which reveals a beautiful dental structure that has been previously hidden by the oral tissue. This procedure can have important restorative benefits as well – for instance, we may need to reveal more of the underlying tooth to successfully place a new crown.

For fast and effective results that hide imperfections, look natural, and feel comfortable, we offer Snap-On Smiles. This non-invasive cosmetic solution is a removable arch of teeth that can easily be “snapped” into place over normal teeth. Its adhesive-free placement allows patients to eat and drink without worry as well as smile with greater confidence. This is an ideal option for anyone who may not be ready for more permanent or invasive cosmetic treatment.

To treat multiple smile flaws with a more streamlined approach, a smile makeover can be recommended. Dr. Hutto and our team will craft a personalized plan that addresses all aspects of a person’s smile, delivering high-quality results that can be achieved without treating each problem area separately. Depending on the number of services required as part of a smile makeover, the timeline for completion will vary, but is considered well worth the investment.
