The recent wave of highly popular televised makeover shows introduced the general public to the wonders of cosmetic dentistry – and proved that people are very interested in finding out ways to improve the look of their teeth and gums. By performing dental bonding on a tooth or any number of teeth bleaching procedures, our Virginia cosmetic dentistry staff can introduce McLean and surrounding cities (including Washington, D.C.) to cosmetic dentistry procedures that range from the simple to the very advanced. Here's a sampling of what we can do to enhance your smile at our practice near Washington, D.C.:
Tooth bleaching at our Virginia practice ranks high among the procedures that bring patients from Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia to our cosmetic dentistry experts. Based near McLean, Dr. Ryan Schwendiman, D.M.D. knows that there are many reasons why someone might be interested in teeth bleaching. Each of his Virginia patients has his own idea of what a perfect smile will look like – but most agree that nice white teeth are an essential part of that look. For patients who live in Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas, teeth whitening and other cosmetic dentistry options are quick and simple enough that they can have them done over their lunch break and be ready to go back to the office in about and hour, sporting a dazzling new smile.
For the treatment of discolored teeth, the types of tooth bleaching that Virginia dentist Dr. Ryan Schwendiman, D.M.D., performs involves the controlled use of hydrogen peroxide, sometimes coupled with a high intensity light to intensify the chemical's bleaching effects.
The Rembrandt® product line is one of the top tooth bleaching systems at our Virginia practice. Most consumers are familiar with the take-home kits available at drug stores, but the in-office version features a plasma arc light called the Rembrandt® Sapphire™ to enhance the whitening effect of this cosmetic dentistry procedure. This revolutionary approach has been clinically proven to whiten teeth by up to 10 shades. It’s safe and has delivered eye-catching results for thousands of patients across the nation.
During the procedure, our dentist applies a gel-form whitening agent to your teeth and then activates the gel with the advanced Rembrandt Sapphire® Light. This light excites the key ingredient, carbamide peroxide, and thus gently erases years of stains left by coffee, tea, cigarettes, and regular food. After one visit, you’ll see quite a difference in the whiteness of your teeth, and you can easily maintain your pearly whites for years with follow-up treatments, or by using our affordable take-home whitening system.
If you have questions about your laser dentistry options in the Washington, D.C., area, or if you would like to discuss a possible treatment with our laser dentist based in Northern Virginia, please contact our cosmetic dentist in Virginia to schedule and initial consultation.
At our McLean, Virginia area cosmetic dentistry office, we use porcelain veneers to dramatically improve the appearance of our patients' smiles. These wafer-thin sheaths (or veneers) are firmly bonded onto the front of damaged teeth to create a dazzling smile that will last for many years. Even better, the porcelain veneer's smooth surface is resistant to future staining.
LUMINEERS™ by Cerinate® will give you stronger, more beautiful teeth – without the painful experience of having dental enamel removed. Like porcelain veneers, LUMINEERS™ are thin shells bonded onto the front of your teeth. Both strengthen teeth and conceal imperfections such as crooked, gapped or stained teeth. But LUMINEERS™ are significantly thinner – as thin as a contact lens, which means we don't have to remove any dental enamel to apply them. As a result, you will not experience any pain or sensitivity after the procedure. In fact, you don't even need anesthesia during the placement of LUMINEERS™, which are made over the course of two dentist visits, without the need for temporary teeth.
Despite being extremely thin, LUMINEERS™ are strong. They will not crack, chip, or become discolored with age. They can last as long as 20 years, and yet they can be safely removed anytime. Please visit our LUMINEERS™ porcelain dental veneers page for information on this exciting cosmetic dentistry procedure at our Virginia practice.
This procedure is used to remedy chipped, cracked, discolored, or badly spaced teeth. We'll apply a thin coat of a composite resin filling – precisely tinted to match your natural tooth color – onto the flawed tooth surface, and then mold it into place. Then, we'll direct a high-intensity light onto the bonded tooth to cure and harden the composite resin. Patients from Washington, D.C., Virginia, and surrounding areas can visit our cosmetic dentistry office to find out if this option is appropriate for them.
Today, those in our profession are able to correct almost any problem that patients have with their teeth. If you are unhappy with your smile in general, we would be happy to work with you on a dramatic transformation that will give you the look you desire. A smile makeover involves a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Our McLean, Virginia area patients can pick from a menu of procedures including teeth bleaching, porcelain veneers, implants, crowns, orthodontia, and more.
