Most Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

At Metro Smiles Dental, we perform the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures in order to transform our patients' smiles.  If you don't like the way that a particular tooth looks, or you dislike your smile altogether, we can transform it using cosmetic dentistry. There are numerous ways to do so and we invite you to visit our Forest Hills, NY dental office to learn which procedures would work best for you.  In the meantime, here is what you need to know.

• CEREC®.  As a CEREC® dentist Forest Hills, NY, we can perform same-day restorations thanks to modern CAD/CAM technology and 3D printing.  If you live in the 11375 area and need an emergency dentist or want to improve your smile, we recommend that you call our office so that you can have your dental work completed in one visit, instead of several. 
• Dental implants.  Dr. Block is an implant dentist that can replace missing teeth in a way that is so natural-looking you won’t even notice which tooth was replaced.  The best part about implants is that a metal post is implanted underneath your gums and secured to your jawbone.  Through a process called osseointegration, the two will fuse together to create a synthetic root system. As a cosmetic dentist, we know that this is restorative dentistry at its best because your new tooth will look and feel amazing while allowing you to behave and eat like normal. 
• Dental veneers.  If you want a Hollywood-style smile, you should consider dental veneers.  This solution is incredibly popular in our family dentist office because veneers can be used to close gaps in between teeth, cover dark stains, change the overall shape of a tooth and even make it appear straighter. There are few aesthetic problems that can’t be corrected with dental veneers. 
• Dental crowns.  As a dentist in Forest Hills, we use dental crowns for the same cosmetic reasons that we use dental veneers.  The main difference is that a veneer is a thin shell that lays flat on top of a tooth, a dental crown surrounds the tooth like a cap. This makes a crown an ideal way to protect a tooth after a root canal or during an emergency dentist appointment. 
• Dental bridges.  When you visit our Forest Hills dentist office, the two most popular ways to replace a tooth are with dental implants or dental bridges.  A bridge is commonly used because it gives you a semi-permanent tooth replacement that looks natural without the need for oral surgery.  
• Teeth whitening.  In our dental office, we use laser dentistry techniques to give you the whitest and brightest smile.  You can see an immediate transformation in the appearance of your teeth and will love how beautiful your smile is once done.  If you still don’t like your smile afterwards, you may want to consider straightening your teeth using the help of our Invisalign® dentist. 

Regardless of why you don't like your smile, Dr. Block can help.  We invite you to call (718) 841-9591 to discuss how the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures can be used to transform the appearance of your smile.
