Cosmetic Dentistry in Winston-Salem, NC

The way you smile is says a lot about you. A genuine Duchenne smile (which involves the muscles around the mouth and eyes) can even reveal how welcoming and trustworthy you are. However, many people conceal their smiles because of dental imperfections. These include common issues like stains, discoloration, chips, gaps, or cracks, all of which can make you less likely to show off your teeth. But, at Dr. Keider’s practice, we want all our patients to love their smiles. In light of this, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services to enhance your teeth and give you the confidence to flash a smile at any moment.

Cosmetic Dentistry at Dr. Keider’s Office

Cosmetic dentistry alters the appearance of your teeth, and some procedures even provide restorative benefits. At our practice, Dr. Keider offers several cosmetic and restorative treatments that can enhance your dental aesthetics, helping you fall in love with your smile.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an easy way to enhance your smile by making your teeth more radiant. At our office, we offer take-home teeth whitening kits with high-strength gel and whitening trays customized for your smile. The gel contains a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than you can find in store-bought products. As a result, it’s extremely effective at breaking down stains and brightening teeth.

The kits are safe and convenient to use at home. Simply dispense the whitening gel into the tray and wear it for 15 minutes. Do this daily for two weeks, and you’ll see long-lasting results. With our professional whitening kit, you can expect faster and more long-lasting results than anything you might buy at the store.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a popular cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of your teeth while providing restorative benefits. Dr. Keider may recommend bonding to restore chipped or cracked teeth, conceal tooth discoloration, protect exposed tooth roots, and fill gaps between teeth. For the procedure, Dr. Keider will apply a tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth or teeth, gently reshaping it to achieve your desired result.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a durable, long-lasting solution for achieving a flawless, photo-ready smile. These ultra-thin porcelain shells correct a variety of dental imperfections, from worn-down teeth to stubborn stains. They can also close small gaps and improve the appearance of minor misalignment, providing a natural and polished look.

The minimally invasive procedure begins with Dr. Keider removing a small amount of enamel. He then bonds a thin porcelain shell to the front of your tooth and uses a curing light to secure it. Finally, he shapes and polishes the veneer for a natural, symmetrical smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can also be made from porcelain and are built to protect damaged teeth. They serve as a “cap” that covers your entire tooth, protecting it from further harm. While dental crowns do an excellent job restoring broken, chipped, or worn-down teeth, they also enhance your tooth’s appearance. We can personalize your dental crown by adjusting its shape, size, and color. This customization helps to achieve your unique smile vision.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a reliable option for replacing missing teeth. The implant post is made from titanium, so it’s built to last a lifetime. Meanwhile, the replacement teeth that the implants support are made from beautiful and durable materials like porcelain and zirconia. As a result, implants are a long-lasting restorative treatment with big cosmetic benefits.

If you opt for implants to replace your teeth, Dr. Keider will insert the titanium post into your jawbone, and through osseointegration, the post fuses with the bone. This process allows the implants to mimic the function of natural tooth roots, firmly anchoring restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures.

However, not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Some patients may lack the bone density to support a conventional implant. Mini dental implants are an ideal alternative for these cases, as they are smaller and don’t require the same amount of bone. Despite their small size, mini implants are as strong, long-lasting, and high-quality as conventional ones. They offer stable reinforcement for false teeth, leading to a smile that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
