Get the Attractive Smile You’ve Always Wanted
Cosmetic Dentistry in Chesapeake, VA
Do you look in the mirror and wish you could change your smile? A perfect smile can be a wonderful asset to have, helping you feel confident and attractive. Our team at the Center for Restorative, Cosmetic, and Implant Dentistry in Chesapeake, VA, is here to help you get your best smile, from ensuring your teeth and gums are healthy to giving you cosmetic options to improve the appearance. You should love your smile, and we can help fix noticeable dental defects so you can have the smile you’ve always wanted.
Few people are lucky enough to have a naturally white, straight smile. It usually requires constant care, dental treatments and orthodontics to achieve what we perceive as a perfect smile. With cosmetic dentistry, we are able to remove stains, straighten crooked teeth, close gaps and sometimes fix a smile that shows more gums than teeth.
We offer several options to change the appearance of your smile, including:
While these materials have been used for many decades to fill cavities or cracks in teeth, they are not aesthetically pleasing. They leave a gray or silver appearance on your teeth. Composite fillings are a more natural option that can also be less stressful on the tooth structure. The filling material can be color-matched to your teeth to blend into your smile. It is almost impossible to see composite fillings once they’re in place, helping keep your smile white and beautiful.
What is a Composite Resin?
Composite fillings are made from a special dental resin. Composed of plastics and ceramic blends, composite resin is easily formed to repair teeth. It can be applied in layers to restore missing tooth material. Each layer is cured and hardened with a light designed for this application. This is used for typical fillings and repairs, but resin is also used in dental bonding. Chipped or gapped teeth can be cosmetically repaired using the resin. This can be a quick fix for dental flaws, as the procedure can be done in one visit to our office.
Keep your smile white and beautiful with the help of composite fillings. When you need a dental repair or want to cosmetically enhance your smile, contact us to schedule an appointment. We offer composite fillings and dental bonding using white resin to improve the health and beauty of your smile.
But more importantly, it also changes the structure of your mouth. The open space where your tooth once was can invite movement from surrounding teeth. They may begin to shift into the empty space, making your teeth crooked and misaligned. This can lead to oral health issues. Misalignment can make teeth more difficult to clean, leaving you at risk for decay and gum disease.
A dental bridge is a solution that can fix two problems at once. It gives you back your complete smile, so you feel confident in showing off your smile in social situations again. It can also prevent the shifting of your other teeth, which protects your oral health.
A dental bridge uses your existing teeth to support an artificial tooth called a pontic. This tooth is secured to metal bridgework that is attached to dental crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the missing tooth. Once in place, a dental bridge replacing one missing tooth will have a white crown, a pontic and then another dental crown. They will be fixed in place and look natural. For many it improves their smile and gives them back the function of a natural tooth.
Get back your beautiful smile with dental restorations like dental bridges at the Center for Restorative, Cosmetic, and Implant Dentistry. We also offer dental implants and dentures to replace missing teeth. Contact one of our offices in the Chesapeake area for your smile restoration consultation.
To get your smile makeover, you will start by meeting with our cosmetic dentist. Together, you can discuss how you want to change your smile and determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.
Porcelain veneers do not change your teeth but put a new exterior on them to show the world. Cosmetic dental veneers are formed from thin porcelain, creating a new outer layer for each tooth. These are specially formed in a dental lab to fit your teeth and to create the smile you desire.
If you decide to get veneers, you will get to help choose the right shape for your new smile. Impressions are needed of your teeth to create the veneers, and a small amount of tooth material is removed to make room for the porcelain shells. It usually takes about two weeks to get your veneers created. Once we get them from the lab, you can have them adhered to your teeth, and you will walk out with your new smile that day.
Get the smile you’ve always wanted with a porcelain veneer makeover at the Center for Restorative, Cosmetic, and Implant Dentistry. Contact us today to schedule your smile makeover consultation.

Why Use Professional Teeth Bleaching?
The health and beauty aisles at many retail stores are full of products designed to whiten teeth. If you’ve ever wondered whether professional teeth whitening and bleaching are any different, consider the importance of your teeth and gums. You don’t want to put something on your teeth that could harm them just to try and make them white again. Our professional bleaching products are safe. Your oral health is our top priority. Plus, they can achieve quicker results and a consistent color that’s natural-looking.
We have both in-office and take-home whitening options. Depending on the type of stains or discolorations you have on your teeth, we can recommend one or both to achieve the best results. Often, our patients will choose to have an in-office bleaching performed for fast whitening, then use one of our professional home products to maintain their white smile.
