Cosmetic Dentist in Worcester MA

A gleaming smile starts with white teeth. Unfortunately, stains from food and drinks — especially coffee, tea, wine and cola — can leave your teeth dull and discolored. Smoking is another common source of tooth stains.

Thankfully, whitening procedures make it easy to turn your dingy teeth pearly white. At Union Dental in Worcester, we use Zoom! whitening system. You can choose in-office or at-home treatment. During a one-hour session in the office, your teeth may lighten by seven shades. With a three-night course at home, you may see six shades of improvement.

Your teeth may have gaps that make you self-conscious. Or, you might feel that your teeth are too short or that they have a funny shape. Chips, too, can cause you to cover your mouth every time you speak. Instead of continuing to hide your smile, consider dental bonding.

Tooth bonding procedures are done with a material that’s carefully matched to the color of your teeth. With it, we fill in spaces and fix imperfections. We can even use dental bonding to cover stubborn stains. It’s a quick, one-visit approach to making cosmetic improvements.

Some tooth problems require more than a bonding treatment. The next step to consider is dental veneers, which are porcelain covers that go over the front of your teeth. They are custom-made to be just the right size, shape and color for your mouth. With these permanent shells, your cosmetic dentist can tuck broken, misshapen or discolored teeth out of sight.

Dental crowns are another option. A crown doesn’t just change the look of a tooth; it also repairs and protects it. Getting a crown is like having a permanent cap put around a broken or injured tooth. Crowns are also used after some dental procedures, such as root canals. No matter the reason for your crown, the material will be matched to the surrounding teeth so that it blends seamlessly with your smile.

The next time you need to have a cavity filled, ask your cosmetic dentist about tooth-colored fillings. Unlike the metal fillings that used to be common, tooth-colored fillings aren’t easily spotted. Your smile will be as good as new after your cavity filling.

Tooth-colored fillings aren’t just for new procedures. At Union Dental, we also offer filling replacements for our Worcester patients. If you don’t like the way your metal fillings look, talk to Dr Tong about having them replaced.

For many patients, these cosmetic procedures are all that’s needed to improve their look. Other patients may require more in-depth treatments. When you choose a cosmetic dentist who’s also an expert in general dentistry and oral surgery, you can count on always receiving the best recommendations for your situation.

At Union Dental, our other services include dental implants, exposure and bracketing procedures, and bridges. Depending on your situation, these treatments could improve the arrangement, strength or health of your teeth.

Make an appointment with cosmetic dentist Dr Tony Tong to explore your options. Whether you need whitening, reshaping, repairs or a new set of teeth, our Worcester office looks forward to helping you.
