If you aren’t happy with your smile, cosmetic dentistry can help. Damaged, chipped, and discolored teeth can be repaired with certain treatments such as whitening, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and fixed bridges.

Teeth Whitening

If you want a brighter, whiter smile, getting a custom take-home kit from Henson Family Dental is one of the most simple ways to get there. Our kits are much more effective than what you’ll find in a store and much safer than risky DIY treatments.

Porcelain Veneers

For teeth that are chipped, have gaps, or are too discolored for whitening treatments, porcelain veneers can be used. Porcelain is a great material because it looks very natural. Veneers are thin casings bonded to the front side of your teeth for a brighter, whiter look. Teeth with porcelain veneers should be cared for just like your natural teeth.

Porcelain Crowns

If your tooth is damaged or worn, a porcelain crown can fix it. We shape the cap and adhere it in the right spot, so your tooth’s shape, strength, size, and appearance are restored. The crown takes the place of your natural enamel, protecting your tooth. In addition to restoring a broken or worn tooth, crowns can support teeth with large fillings, hold a dental bridge in place, cover a dental implant, and modify a misshapen tooth.

A Fixed Bridge

If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, a fixed bridge can restore your smile. When replacing a missing tooth with an artificial one, a fixed bridge is needed to hold it in place. The bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of your new fake tooth.
