Lexington Cosmetic Dentistry
An Overview of Cosmetic Dentistry
A rapidly emerging field of dentistry is referred to as cosmetic dentistry. In cosmetic dentistry, the emphasis is on improving the patient’s smile through changing the appearance of the teeth and mouth. Many people view cosmetic dental practices as being elective treatments – as opposed to necessary dental treatments – but having a beautiful, engaging smile and feeling secure in one’s appearance can make people feel better about themselves and lead to a fuller, happier life. For an experienced Lexington cosmetic dentist, turn to the dental services of Dr. Head.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
There are currently many cosmetic dentistry procedures available. Among these are:
Composite Bonding
replaces the broken, chipped, and discolored parts of teeth through the use of a special composite material.
Dental Veneers
Adhesively bonded to the surface of a tooth or teeth to cover gaps, cracks, and chips in existing teeth and also to improve the color of the teeth.
Inlays or Onlays
Inlays are also called indirect fillings; they are a long-lasting type of filling that is added to teeth with tooth decay or other structural damage.
Teeth Whitening
The most commonly recommended and practiced cosmetic dental procedure, tooth whitening removes stains on teeth; the cosmetic procedure can be performed at home or in your cosmetic dentist’s office.
Dental Implants
Used to replace missing teeth, dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements. During the last 20 years, dental implants have become a desirable alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a range of available options gives Dr. Head a variety of new ways to treat and replace lost teeth.
