Cosmetic dentistry is all about enhancing the appearance of your teeth and gums, helping you feel confident and proud every time you show off your smile. At Midtown Dental in Raleigh, we offer a wide range of aesthetic treatments to correct imperfections such as discoloration, chips, gaps, minor misalignment, or misshapen teeth. Our goal is to combine beauty with lasting function and oral health, working with you to create a smile that reflects your personality and lifestyle.
Every cosmetic treatment begins with a comprehensive smile design consultation. During this appointment, we discuss your goals, evaluate your smile, and create a personalized plan that may include a combination of procedures such as professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, Invisalign® clear aligners, and more. Our top cosmetic dental services at Midtown Dental include:
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a simple, conservative, and cost-effective way to address minor imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, or stains. A tooth-colored composite resin is applied directly to the tooth surface and carefully sculpted to restore its natural shape. The material is hardened with a special light, creating a strong, long-lasting bond. Bonding is minimally invasive and can often be completed in a single visit, offering a quick, painless way to enhance your smile.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution for teeth that are discolored, worn, misaligned, or unevenly spaced. These thin, custom-made shells cover the front surfaces of your teeth to create a flawless, natural-looking smile. The process begins with a detailed consultation and smile design, where we map out your ideal outcome. Teeth are then gently prepared, typically requiring only a minimal amount of enamel removal. A digital scan or impression is taken and sent to a dental laboratory to create your custom veneers.
Temporary veneers may be placed while your final restorations are being crafted. During the final appointment, your veneers are bonded to your teeth, with careful adjustments to ensure a perfect fit, bite, and appearance. Veneers can transform your smile dramatically while maintaining a natural look.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the fastest ways to refresh your smile, removing stains from coffee, tea, wine, natural aging, and more. At Midtown Dental, we offer both in-office whitening for dramatic, immediate results and convenient take-home kits that allow you to whiten on your own schedule:
- In-Office Whitening. Using the GLO™ Science system, we apply a high-concentration whitening gel activated by gentle heat and light for a brighter smile in about an hour.
- Take-Home Whitening Kits. Custom-fitted trays with professional-grade whitening gel provide excellent results from the comfort of your home. We offer both Opalescence™ and GLO™ Science take-home options, ensuring effective, safe, and minimally sensitive whitening tailored to your needs.
Cosmetic Injections for TMJ and Headaches
For patients experiencing chronic jaw pain, teeth grinding, or tension headaches linked to TMJ disorders, we offer targeted relief through cosmetic injections. These precise treatments relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing pain, headaches, and damage from clenching or grinding. As an added benefit, these injections can also create a softer jawline appearance.
Smile Makeovers
A comprehensive smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic and restorative procedures into a single, coordinated plan to fully rejuvenate the smile. Whether you’re dealing with discoloration, chips, worn teeth, gaps, or minor alignment issues, your makeover is tailored to your goals. Treatments often include veneers, bonding, whitening, dental crowns, or minor orthodontic adjustments. Our collaborative planning ensures your final smile is not only beautiful but also harmonious with your facial features, boosting both confidence and oral health.
