Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Towson, MD
Our dentists offer many cosmetic dental procedures you need to brighten, straighten, repair, and enhance your natural smile. We offer the following treatments in our Towson dental office.
Invisalign
The Invisalign clear aligner system is an orthodontic treatment that will straighten your teeth without braces. You will wear a series of aligners that will slowly move your teeth into the proper position. The treatment is a discreet and more comfortable alternative to metal braces.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic that can completely transform your smile. Our dentist can bond them to the front of a tooth to alter the appearance of that tooth and hide any imperfections. Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment we use in smile makeovers.
Teeth Bonding
Tooth bonding is an affordable treatment that can also transform your smile. Our dentist will apply a tooth-colored resin material directly to the tooth and then shape it by hand. This treatment is more affordable than teeth veneers and is also a faster treatment. But the results don’t last as long.
Tooth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening solutions are the simplest way to instantly brighten your smile. We offer both in-office and at-home whitening options for you to choose from. Professional tooth whitening offers better results than store-bought options and is still affordable.
White Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, you need a tooth filling to seal and protect your tooth from further infection. Dr. Welinsky uses white dental fillings instead of metal fillings for aesthetic purposes. This way, the filling will blend in with your smile and look natural.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They act as artificial tooth roots made from titanium. Implants also support crowns, bridges, or dentures, look and function like natural teeth. Tooth implants offer a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
