If you are looking to enhance the appearance of your smile, you are in the right place. At Ledbetter Family Dental Care, Dr. Ledbetter and his team help many patients improve the appearance of their smiles with cosmetic dentistry. We offer several different cosmetic services at our offices, such as dental veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, crowns, and dental implants.
Patients that want to enlarge, whiten, or straighten the appearance of their smile may turn to dental veneers. Many patients call dental veneers shells because they bond to the front of your tooth. Most patients have 4 – 6 dental veneers on the top and bottom of their front teeth.
Dental veneers can be designed for any size, shape, or shade. So, if you want more prominent-looking teeth that are whiter, you can achieve that with dental veneers. During the initial appointment, you will discuss with Dr. Ledbetter the type of smile you would like to achieve, and he will take an impression of your teeth. Once the veneers are made, he will bond them to your natural teeth, and you will have an entirely new appearance.
At Ledbetter Family Dental Care, we recommend that patients only use professional teeth whitening instead of over-the-counter solutions. Professional teeth whitening is not only more effective; it is also more efficient. At Ledbetter Family Dental Care, we offer at-home and in-office whitening solutions.
Often, we develop custom trays for patients to wear while whitening their teeth. These trays are designed to reach all of the crevices around the teeth, unlike over-the-counter solutions. Store-bought whitening solutions miss significant portions of the teeth. Additionally, Dr. Ledbetter uses a professional-grade whitening solution that is more robust and effective than over-the-counter. Lastly, many patients like that their teeth whitening procedures are overseen by a dentist like Dr. Ledbetter. We can monitor the health of your teeth during the process.
You may benefit from dental bonding if you have a broken or misshapen tooth. For dental bonding, Dr. Ledbetter will replace a broken tooth with composite resin. Dr. Ledbetter will shape the tooth to create an esthetic appearance with this material. Then, he will bond the resin in place to make a hard and durable tooth. We use dental bonding to transform the look of several different teeth.

Another cosmetic dentistry procedure is a dental implant. If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental implant may be able to help you restore your smile. Unlike other procedures that can replace a tooth, such as a dental bridge, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth from its root to its crown. Many patients prefer dental implants because they restore the appearance of their tooth and stimulate the jawbone, decreasing the likelihood that it will begin to lose density and sink in. Dental implants can be used to replace one or many teeth. A dental implant, or a titanium post, is placed in the jawbone, and a dental crown, dental bridge, or denture can be attached to complete the restoration.
At Ledbetter Family Dental Care, we strive to provide high-quality cosmetic dentistry to all of our patients. Our goal is to help you achieve a smile that you love. For more information about cosmetic dentistry or to schedule an appointment, call our office today.
