COSMETIC DENTAL CARE

If you’ve been hiding behind your smile due to imperfections like gaps, chips or stains, veneers are a great choice to repair your teeth so you can look and feel your best. These cosmetic restorations are thin shells that are custom-made and designed to cover the front surfaces of the teeth to create a more balanced, beautiful smile. This minimally invasive cosmetic alternative only removes a tiny bit of your tooth’s natural enamel, protecting it from damage or weakening. We use high-quality materials so they blend in with your natural teeth and are built to last. With excellent care, you can enjoy your new smile with veneers for many years!

When you have a tooth that is damaged from decay, cracks or worn down, your dentist may recommend a dental crown. It is a tooth-shaped cap designed to fit over the entire tooth to reshape it, restoring both its appearance and function. Teeth serve an important role in your oral health and overall wellness by allowing you to chew, speak and smile with a care-free attitude. We aim to make sure your teeth are in excellent working condition, and a dental crown is a great solution that offers a natural-looking appearance, preventing your teeth from suffering any further damage. A crown can also last for 15 years or more with a proper oral hygiene routine.

Dental bridges help fill the holes in your smile and allow you to live your life with confidence again. They include a crown on top of your existing teeth and dental appliances, called pontics, which fill in the empty spaces left behind from tooth loss. Our team at Ashburn Dentistry by Design will even match your dental bridge to the exact shade of your surrounding teeth so you can’t even tell the difference! The entire process typically takes about two appointments, and there are a few types of bridges available, but Dr. Khalil or Dr. Merlo will discuss with you which will be the best one for you.

Today, people are living longer, healthier lives and with good dental care, many of us keep our natural smiles for decades. But sometimes, even despite our best efforts, our teeth can’t keep up with the years of wear and tear. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to an injury, decay or gum disease, dental implants offer a lasting solution for a complete smile. A dental implant acts as your tooth’s root and is surgically implanted in the jawbone. This allows it to look and act like a real tooth. Dental implants are a lengthy process with an extensive healing period, but they offer a natural solution that generally lasts a lifetime.

When you go to your local pharmacy or retail store, the shelves are packed with teeth whitening products and it can be overwhelming deciding which method is the right one for your smile. At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we proudly offer professional teeth whitening for a quick, efficient and convenient way to achieve a brighter smile. We use KöR Whitening, a highly effective whitening system, to customize your teeth whitening to your preference. You will leave our Ashburn office with a dramatically different smile that you can’t help but love. We also offer take-home kits that make it easy to do on your own time while taking advantage of professional grade whitening ingredients.

Looking for a less invasive, more affordable way to improve the appearance of your teeth? Dental bonding is a technique that our prosthodontist and dentists use to fix small flaws such as chips, crooked teeth or discoloration. Dental bonding is a popular cosmetic dental care treatment. The American Dental Association reports that about 30 million people have at least one chipped tooth. We use tooth-colored materials to create a seamless look, but with proper care of your gums and teeth, it can last for many years before you need a touch-up or repair.
