Are you considering a smile makeover in Newport, TN? Westmorland Cosmetic & Family Dentistry offers several simple procedures that can help you feel more confident about your smile? Below are brief descriptions of each procedure.

Porcelain Veneers

A veneer is a thin and translucent piece of porcelain that adheres to the front of a tooth. Patients commonly request porcelain veneers to close a gap between teeth, cover up severe stains, or disguise a chipped tooth. You may need a small amount of tooth enamel removed before our dentist places the veneer to ensure the treated tooth won’t stick out further than the rest.

After removing up to one-eighth of a millimeter of enamel, our dentist places a bonding adhesive on the front of your tooth and then places the veneer on top of it. The final steps include using a curing light to force the adhesive to harden and trimming any loose material from around your tooth.

Teeth Whitening

Discolored teeth can be discouraging, especially when you brush and polish yours often. Certain lifestyle habits also contribute to teeth taking on a yellowish or brownish color, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee, as does aging.

Our dentists can brighten your smile in a single appointment with professional teeth whitening. As you relax in the dental chair, Dr. Micah Westmorland or Dr. Christel Westmorland prepares the whitening solution by pouring bleaching gel into molds of your top and bottom rows of teeth and then placing them in your mouth.

Crowns, Bridges, and Implant-Supported Dentures

These procedures can be cosmetic, restorative, or both. A crown covering a misshapen tooth is an example of a cosmetic procedure, while a dental bridge or implant-supported denture that replaces a missing tooth are examples of a restorative procedure.

We invite you to schedule a smile makeover in Newport, TN to learn more about each of these services.
