I’m embarrassed to smile

Are you embarrassed to smile? Let Virginia Beach dentist, Dr. Anderson help you with cosmetic dentistry procedures!

There’s a beautiful smile behind those chips, cracks, breaks, stains, or crooked teeth that is waiting to get out and greet the world.

Most of us have a least one aspect of our smile that can be changed through cosmetic dentistry, but we don’t address the problems for various reasons: We think we’re too old; we don’t have the money; or our cosmetic dental problems don’t cause us pain. We’ve heard all these reasons and more. It turns out that people’s views about cosmetic dentistry is not always accurate!

The reality is that there is a HUGE value to having a smile you are proud of; one that makes you more confident and helps you thrive in professional and social situations.

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, about 99.7 percent of Americans believe that a great smile is an important asset. A study conducted by the organization also found that people with a great smile are thought to be more successful, wealthier, and even smarter! It’s clear that a smile tells a lot about a person. What does your smile say about you? Is it holding you back? Do you sit in front of the mirror and wish you could change a few things about your teeth?

At J. Wesley Anderson, Jr., DDS, Virginia Beach dentist provide safe and affordable cosmetic dentistry solutions like teeth whitening, veneers, tooth-colored fillings, and tooth contouring and crown lengthening.

What Whiter Teeth Can Do For Your Smile

Teeth whitening is one of safest and most affordable cosmetic dental procedures. Our in-office and at-home whitening methods can erase even the heaviest stains, giving you a bright and dazzling smile. By using a special bleaching agent and light that activates the gel, our in-office whitening gives you instant results. You sit back and relax while the dental team transforms your smile right before your eyes.

You can also whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home. This method takes a little longer, but the results are incredible and long-lasting. We prescribe you a strong bleaching agent and design a custom tray. The tray evenly distributes the whitening agents to whiten each tooth equally. Your smile will get whiter every day until you reach the desired shade. After the treatment is completed, you can keep the whitening trays for any necessary touch-ups.

Hide Flaws In Your Teeth With Dental Veneers

Chips, cracks, stains, and gaps in your teeth can be easily corrected with porcelain veneers. Veneers are ultra-thin and are placed on the tooth using a special bonding agent. We offer both traditional porcelain veneers and minimal-prep Lumineers for patients who want that beautiful, bright smile. Both types of porcelain veneers require us to remove a small portion of tooth structure, but Lumineers can be placed with less drilling and no shots! Whether you select Lumineers or traditional porcelain veneers, you can expect a dazzling smile that lasts for years!

Tooth-Colored Fillings Mean No More Metal In Your Mouth

Let’s face it, cavities are a part of life. But while tooth decay is extremely common, it doesn’t mean that you have to live with unsightly fillings. You deserve fillings that blend in with your natural smile. Bad fillings stick out like a sore thumb and – even worse – reveal part of your dental history, something most of us like to keep private. Our office uses only aesthetic composite fillings to restore your smile with natural-looking and durable materials.

Uncover Your Smile With Teeth Contouring Or Crown Lengthening

You can have a perfectly healthy set of teeth and still not have the smile you deserve. In many cases, the size and shape of the gums can kill an otherwise healthy and beautiful smile. We use teeth contouring to correct what we call a “gummy smile,” which is when too much gum covers the tooth. Additionally, we provide crown lengthening to recontour the supporting bone and gum tissue.
