Cosmetic Dentistry
The value of your teeth goes beyond their biological function.
Studies show that a person’s perception of their smile has a psychological impact. It has been linked to the quality of interpersonal relationships and self-confidence. When we feel confident in ourselves, we are more likely to smile. Subsequently, the act of smiling itself increases our confidence. Having high self-esteem helps us connect more with others, so in this way, our smiles act as a gateway to the world around us.
On the other hand, if we feel ashamed of our teeth we might refrain from engaging others. The psychological strain impacts self-image as well as connections with others. The good news is, there are options. In fact, new solutions are constantly emerging, giving anyone the opportunity to be proud of their smile.

Composite Fillings
Cavities, chips, and cracks can affect even the healthiest teeth. Many of these problems can be solved with composite fillings.

Porcelain Crowns
You may feel there is no solution for your damaged teeth. However, that is not the case. You have many options. One of the best is the dental crown. A crown, or cap, can easily restore a damaged, decayed, or cracked tooth. You may be surprised by the life-like quality and strength of your new porcelain crown. At River’s End Dental, we even offer Same-Day Crowns in some cases!

Onlays
If you’ve fractured a tooth, you know they can crack in unexpected ways. There are instances where the fracture is too extensive to be treated with a composite filling, but not quite large enough to require a porcelain crown.
Porcelain onlays are the perfect solution for these tricky situations. Our goal is always to preserve as much of the tooth as possible. Onlays can provide the additional support you need without covering the area completely. Once the onlay is applied, the original look, feel, and function of your teeth are immediately restored.
Gum Contouring
Your gums act as the foundation of your smile. You may not realize it, but they play a key role in the strength and appearance of your teeth. Gum contouring can support a healthy mouth and add definition to your smile.
