  • Attractive Metal-Free Restorations
  • Fully Customized Treatment Plans

Veneers

When there’s more than one flaw you’d like to address, you may be expecting to need multiple treatments to create the smile that you want. But with veneers, it can be done with just one treatment over two appointments. A veneer is made to fit over the front side of a tooth, concealing chips, stains, and other flaws simultaneously. We make our veneers out of stain-resistant materials that can last for many years with the right kind of care.

Lumineers

To place veneers, a small amount of enamel has to be removed from your teeth. Consequently, this means you won’t be able to reverse the treatment later, as your altered teeth will always need to be covered by restorations from that point forward. If you think you might want to undo the changes to your smile later, we may recommend Lumineers instead of traditional veneers. Our Lumineers can be placed directly on the teeth without prior preparations.

Metal-Free Crowns

Do you have an older metal crown? If so, you may be tired of seeing a dark-colored piece of metal in your mouth whenever you look in a mirror. We can replace your metal crown with one made out of zirconia. It can give your teeth the same kind of high-quality protection and support, but it can also be designed to match your other teeth so that it won’t stand out whenever you eat, speak, or smile.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding can be thought of as a quick fix for many different kinds of cosmetic flaws. This can include minor to moderate dental damage (i.e., chipped and broken teeth), discolored spots, and small gaps. A small amount of biocompatible, tooth-colored material is applied to the teeth to cover the problem areas while allowing the tooth to maintain an overall natural appearance. With cosmetic bonding, we can renew your smile in just one appointment!

Teeth Whitening

Store-bought teeth whitening kits often don’t give you the results you want – especially if the stains you’re trying to remove are beneath the enamel. If you want reliable results, you need to look no further than Westport Dental! We can give you a professional-grade whitening kit with powerful ingredients that can remove all kinds of discoloration, or we can perform an in-practice whitening procedure that lets you enjoy dazzling results right away!

Gum Recontouring

Your gums act as a frame for your smile, but if they’re overgrown, they may draw more attention than they should. During the gum recontouring process, we carefully remove the tissue that’s covering your teeth and causing your smile to look uneven and gummy. Our goal is to make your smile more symmetrical and to make sure that the teeth appear to be the proper size. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, gum recontouring is permanent and won’t need to be touched up later.

Virtual Smile Design

Are you worried that you’re not setting realistic expectations for your cosmetic treatment? Do you wish you could get a preview of what your smile will look like afterward? With virtual smile design, you no longer need to rely on imagination alone to get an idea of what the results will be; we can simulate the results by taking a picture of your teeth and altering it. You’ll be able to make informed decisions about improving your smile.
