Cosmetic Dentistry in Gettysburg, PA
Dr. Tempel and her team at Gettysburg Smiles offer these comprehensive cosmetic dental treatments to their patients:
Invisalign
Clear Invisalign aligners offer a modern alternative to braces. Patients wear these clear, discreet trays for several weeks, then switch their aligners for a new pair. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can clean their smiles and eat the foods they love without restrictions.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are porcelain sheets that cover teeth. We can use multiple veneers to cover the teeth in the smile line or the teeth that show when you smile.
Dental Bonding
Tooth bonding treatment is similar to veneers. However, bonding treatments use biocompatible materials that we sculpt onto prepared teeth. Bonding can address smaller imperfections, like single discolored or damaged teeth. Tooth bonding is a more economical option we can color-match with the natural tooth enamel.
Teeth Whitening
Our office provides KöR teeth whitening to patients who want to treat stubborn tooth stains. This type of whitening uses in-office and take-home treatment. We provide three 20-minute treatments in our office while patients use trays and whitening gel to brighten their smiles at home.
Cosmetic Dental FAQs
Learn more about our cosmetic dental treatments with answers to these popular questions:
Is Invisalign painful?
Although patients may feel sore for a day or two as they get used to each new set of aligners, they will not feel severe pain. Unlike braces, Invisalign does not use any wires or metal components that can irritate the gums.
When will I see results from teeth whitening treatment?
Patients will need several weeks to see visible results from their teeth whitening treatment. Although KöR is a gradual treatment, results can last for many months and even years.
Do I need dental veneers or tooth bonding treatment?
Dental veneers and tooth bonding are similar treatments that address damaged, crooked, and discolored teeth. However, dental veneers are a better option if patients want to treat many or all of their teeth in the smile line. Dental bonding is more beneficial for patients with one or two cosmetic imperfections. Bonding also adds structure to chipped or otherwise damaged teeth.
