If a perfect smile is what you want, then look for the help of a cosmetic dentist. Here's what to expect from cosmetic dentistry Columbia MD.

Many Americans are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. In fact, more than half of adults in this country report wanting a brighter and more attractive smile. 



Are you looking for a cosmetic dentist who can perform Cosmetic Dentistry Columbia MD? Dr. Daniel Stewart offers a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments. If you are ready to start the new year with a new smile, read on to learn which dental procedures can enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence!

1. Invisalign Clear Aligners

Clear aligner technology has revolutionized cosmetic dentistry. Before the development of clear aligners, patients only had braces to correct crooked teeth.

At Smile Savers Dentistry, we are proud to offer aligners made by the company that pioneered clear aligner technology. Traditional metal braces required orthodontists to attach uncomfortable metal attachments and wires. Wire tightening can be incredibly uncomfortable for those patients. 

Clear aligners are comfortable, invisible aligners that fit snuggly over teeth. The trays are transparent and practically invisible. Many adults appreciate the ability to undergo orthodontic treatment discreetly. 



 Invisalign trays can correct a wide range of dental misalignments. 

2. Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace lost tooth roots. Before the advent of dental implant technology, the only options for replacing teeth did not restore lost tooth roots. Once a tooth root is lost, jawbone atrophy and other dental problems result.

The implants are placed using a combination of local anesthesia and sedation. Once you are comfortable, your dentist will surgically place one or more implants directly into the jawbone. Over time, the post fuses with surrounding bone tissue.



Dental implants can support a crown, bridge, or denture. If you have lost a tooth and want a permanent replacement, ask our team about the benefits of having a dental implant placed. 

3. Teeth Whitening

Cosmetic teeth whitening delivers drastic results. As we age, enamel can lose its luster. Coffee, tea, and other drinks and foods can also leave teeth looking yellow.

If you are looking for a way to brighten your smile quickly and affordably, ask our team about teeth whitening. 

We use the Venus White system. You can use the whitening agents from home using custom-made trays that we provide. The Venus White system is perfect for people who have sensitive teeth.



Teeth whitening results do not last forever. You can periodically touch up your teeth to maintain results. Brushing regularly and avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks can also help maintain your results. 

4. Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a moldable substance that mimics the color and luster of enamel. Your dentist can color-match dental bonding to match or even enhance your smile. 

Cosmetic bonding is a great treatment option for fixing small chips. Bonding can cover up discolored portions of your teeth. It can even eliminate gaps between your teeth!



While dental bonding is generally very affordable, the material will not last as long as, say, veneers. You can expect a few to several years of use from bonding before our dentist will have to apply new bonding material. 

5. Veneers

Have you always wanted a Hollywood smile? Dental veneers are thin shells that your dentist cement to the front of anterior teeth. Veneers completely reshape teeth, which makes them an ideal treatment for individuals who are looking for drastic cosmetic results. 



The average lifespan of veneers is between 10 and 20 years. Once the veneers have reached their lifespan, you can be fitted with a new pair using the same treatment process. 

6. Lumineers

Lumineers are a specific brand of veneer that we are proud to carry. If you have teeth that are crooked, misaligned, or misshapen, you may be a great candidate for Lumineers.



Our dentist can seamlessly apply Lumineers over your teeth to enhance your smile. One of the main benefits of Lumineers is that they are ultra-thin. This allows dentists to forgo having to remove enamel aggressively to make room for these types of veneers. 

7. Dental Crowns

8. Correct Crooked Teeth With Veneers

Invisalign treatments are not the only option for straightening teeth. If you have a single crooked tooth, you can benefit from having a veneer placed.



Veneers are even called instant braces for this very reason. Veneers can even fix gapped teeth. 

In other cases, tooth misalignment may be addressed using dental bonding. 

9. Enhance Small Teeth

Do small teeth leave you embarrassed to smile? The size of your teeth is largely determined by genetics. Some patients benefit from a procedure called gum contouring that removes small amounts of gum tissue to enhance the natural teeth and make them look larger.



Depending on your situation, dental bonding, veneers, or another treatment can help enhance your teeth. Teeth whitening is another option that can address small teeth by making your natural teeth stick out.
