Cosmetic Dentistry
If you’ve spent any time walking around Socorro, TX, you’ve certainly met the countless wonderful people who call this city home. However, too many of our lovely neighbors hide their smiles because of stained, cracked, or chipped teeth. Fortunately, the Sunray Family Dentistry team is happy to help Socorro residents renew their smiles with a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments.
No matter your concern, Dr. Alonso is happy to evaluate your smile and recommend the most effective cosmetic treatments.
Why Choose Cosmetic Dentistry?
Perhaps you’re like many of our patients who have healthy teeth and gums but can’t seem to get a bright, white smile. The unfortunate truth is that brushing and flossing can only do so much to make your teeth look more attractive. In these cases, it is best to turn to a dentist for professional cosmetic dentistry services. For some folks, it only takes one office visit to drastically refresh their appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Many people want a white smile but struggle to see results from weaker over-the-counter whitening kits. What’s more, these products can cause irritation or sensitivity issues.
Professional teeth whitening works much faster and yields more noticeable results than these store-bought solutions. Our products contain higher concentrations of active whitening ingredients, and our team ensures we apply the solution thoroughly over your smile to reduce blotchiness or missed areas.
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Do you hide your smile due to damaged, discolored, or broken teeth? Cosmetic concerns like these can hurt your self-confidence and stop you from getting the most out of life.
Dental crowns are full-coverage restorations that fit over your real tooth to change its appearance and restore function. Our crowns are designed to blend in with the size and shape of your surrounding teeth, giving you a straight, healthy-looking smile. Crowns also have the benefit of protecting teeth by reinforcing weak areas of enamel.
All of our crowns are made from porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal materials. Speak with Dr. Alonso about the differences between these options to see which suits your needs best.
Dental Bonding
With the help of dental bonding, Dr. Alonso can repair many cosmetic concerns like discoloration, chips, and gaps in just one visit! This tooth-colored resin works wonders because it is non-invasive and cures quickly to your teeth. The material blends right in with your enamel and you won’t feel a thing during treatment.
The dental bonding procedure is quite simple. First, Dr. Alonso applies bonding to the affected teeth. You can think of this as painting over your teeth to fill in little gaps or chips. Next, we use ultraviolet light to instantly cure the resin in place. After this, you’ll be able to walk out of the office with a brand-new smile.
White Dental Fillings
While fillings are usually a restorative treatment, we do consider cosmetic concerns when treating cavities. In the past, many people would have noticeable grey shadows in their teeth after getting silver fillings. These markings made people self-conscious about their smiles, and the metals made the filling more invasive since additional tooth structures had to be removed.
Dr. Alonso never wants you to shy away from smiling because of cavities or unsightly fillings. That’s why we use tooth-colored materials to ensure your smile looks as natural as possible after treatment.
