Cosmetic Dentistry in St. Louis, MO

Custom Smile Design and Smile Makeovers

All of our doctors at St. Louis County Dental have undergone advanced training in cosmetic dentistry and specialize in tailor-made smile makeovers to give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of. We understand that each smile is as unique as the individual behind it; every case is custom. We use a multidisciplinary approach to design smiles that not only look great, but are functional as well. What sets us apart from other “cosmetic dentists” is that we truly listen to you and come up with a plan to best address your specific needs. Our goal is to not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Our cosmetic team whitens teeth using customized bleaching trays and chairside laser whitening. The professional grade formulations we use penetrate the dental enamel layer, so that discoloration within the tooth can be oxidized and removed to brighten your smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is the orthodontic system that uses a series of clear aligners trays to improve your bite and smile, rather than metal brackets and wires. Whether you’re dealing with crooked teeth, gaps in your smile, or a misaligned bite, Invisalign can help you smile confidently in as little as one year.

During the Invisalign treatment process patients wear a series of transparent aligners: each aligner moves your teeth closer to your dream smile. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you’ll be able to take them out to eat, drink beverages other than water, and clean your smile. Invisalign is the ideal way to optimize your smile without the hassle of metal braces.

Masterpiece Veneers and Cosmetic crowns

Porcelain veneers and cosmetic crowns are restorations that are permanently bonded or cemented over a patient’s natural dental structure. We can completely transform your smile in just two or three dental appointments.

Every veneer or crown is custom-shaped and shaded to suit the patient’s unique smile. We will design the case together and we can cover cracked and chipped enamel, close gaps between teeth, resurface dark enamel, and make misaligned teeth appear straighter. Our vast experience and technology, step by step method and partnership with some of the best master ceramists in the county help us deliver unparalleled results.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding treatment allows our team to cover unsightly or damaged dental enamel with a thin layer of dental resin in just one appointment. While dental resin starts off as a soft, malleable material that we sculpt onto your teeth that is hardened with a polymerization light and bonds to the natural tooth structure.

Our team custom-shades resin to ensure that it matches the patient’s natural smile. This is a quick and effective treatment option for repairing cracked or chipped teeth, improving minor bite alignment issues, and lightening teeth for which dental whitening is not effective.

Gum Tissue Contouring

During gum contouring our dental team removes excess tissue and reshapes your gum line with dental lasers. This treatment quickly improves the aesthetics of uneven or “gummy” smiles.

Botox®

Botox® is a prescription medicine that is injected into a patient’s muscles in order to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines. This purified protein effectively reduces the activity of the muscles that cause facial lines in the first place.

This non-surgical, FDA-approved aesthetic treatment delivers results quickly, and the effects last for up to four months.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to plump up smile lines, nasolabial folds, and depressed cheek and under-eye pads for up to one year.

Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). As we age, sunlight and other factors reduce the amount of HA in our skin. Our cosmetic team administers safe and effective dermal fillers to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.
