cosmetic treatment options

First, to achieve a brighter smile from the comfort of your own home, we offer take-home whitening. Plus, with our take-home whitening kits, your grin will gradually be whitened over the course of a week or two.

However, to create your reusable custom whitening trays, we take impressions of your teeth and gums to ensure your trays fit perfectly.

Furthermore, once we craft the trays, we’ll give you our whitening product and a full set of instructions for proper use. Plus, as long as you follow doctor ralston’s instructions, you’ll get the professional results you deserve, right at home.

Next, in-office teeth whitening is a quick way to illuminate your smile by whitening it up to 10 shades in a single session. Plus, if you’re looking to dramatically brighten your smile for an upcoming special occasion, you’ll love the near-instant results from in-office whitening.

To begin, your dentist will apply a special gel to your gums to keep them protected during the whitening process. Next, to protect your cheeks, retractors will be used to keep them away from your teeth. However, once we take all the necessary precautions, we apply a powerful whitening agent to your teeth. The paste or gel will be rinsed away after an hour, revealing a brighter smile. Additionally, for patients with extremely discolored teeth, the process may be repeated multiple times over the course of several visits to achieve your desired outcome.

Dental bonding is a minimally-invasive procedure in which your dentist applies a dental resin (that matches the shade of your smile) to your teeth. Next, they will carefully sculpt the resin before curing it with a special UV light to restore the look, feel, and function of your smile. The whole process usually takes between 30-60 minutes for each tooth.

Next, shaping & contouring, or enameloplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that we use in tandem with dental bonding. The treatment involves the removal of a thin layer of enamel from uneven, chipped, or sharp teeth to achieve the desired shape.

Veneers are wafer-thin, shells that use durable porcelain that affix to the front side of your teeth. Plus, this cosmetic treatment can eliminate small gaps between teeth, as well as cover up the appearance of severe staining, misshapen or uneven teeth, and much more.

Next, to place veneers, your dentist will shave down the enamel so the porcelain shells don’t bulge or protrude from your smile. However, this is an irreversible procedure, so it’s an important consideration to make before committing to the treatment. Furthermore, veneers can completely transform your smile and will last for years before you may need to replace them, as long as you caer for them properly.

If there are multiple aspects of your smile that you are unhappy with, ask us about a full cosmetic makeover.

A highly customized plan involving multiple procedures, a cosmetic makeover is tailored to address all of your smile needs. Since every grin is unique, exact treatments will differ between patients. Multiple cosmetic and restorative dental procedures will be completed across several visits to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Invisalign in Johnstown offers a clear, discreet alternative to traditional braces, helping patients straighten their teeth without metal brackets or wires. Plus, with customized aligners, Invisalign provides a comfortable and convenient way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

With cosmetic dentistry in Johnstown, we can solve almost any aesthetic issue you can think of. Patients with yellow or stained teeth can receive teeth whitening treatments for a brighter grin. Furthermore, dental bonding, shaping & contouring can transform the shape of teeth to fix minor cracks and chips, or to even out your smile to get it back to a natural, aesthetically pleasing look. Moreover, veneers or Lumineers can fill gaps, cover severe stains, and fix the look of slightly crooked or crowded teeth. Additionally, we can use dental crowns for cosmetic purposes, though they are reserved for teeth that have experienced more extensive decay or damage.

If you’re in good oral and overall health, chances are that you are a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry. However, if you’re struggling with oral health issues like gum disease, cavities, or occlusal issues, you may require restorative or orthodontic treatments before beginning any cosmetic procedures.

Yes! It’s not uncommon to undergo multiple cosmetic dental procedures at the same time. However, some services, like dental bonding and enameloplasty, are almost always performed in tandem. Plus, cosmetic makeovers involve the using a combination of a variety of cosmetic treatments to completely transform a patient’s smile.

Every insurance plan is different, but most do not cover cosmetic dental care, as cosmetic cases are often  elective, or unnecessary to your oral health, by insurance companies. Therefore, some treatments, like veneers or dental crowns, may be partially covered by some insurance plans, but this is not very common. Because of this, you will likely need to pay for cosmetic treatment out-of-pocket. However, to get an idea of the scope of your dental insurance coverage, contact your insurer directly, or get in touch with our team to see if we can assist you with discounts or payment plans, so you can get the smile you deserve.
