The dentists at StoneRidge Dental Care are experts in their field, providing quality cosmetic dentistry in Gahanna. There are a variety of cosmetic dental procedures that are available to improve the look of your smile. 

Professional Teeth Whitening

Besides regular cleanings and daily care, tooth whitening may be something you would like to consider to further enhance your smile.

We can help you determine which solution may be right for you. Whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellowish hued teeth will probably bleach well, brownish-colored teeth may bleach less well, and grayish-hued teeth may not bleach well at all. If you have had bonding or tooth-colored fillings placed in your front teeth the whitener will not affect the color of these materials, and they will stand out in your newly whitened smile. You may want to investigate other options, like porcelain veneers or dental bonding.

If you are a candidate for professional teeth whitening there are several ways to whiten your smile:

In-Office Tooth Whitening – GLO™

We are proud to offer an efficient, innovative, and professional way to whiten and brighten your teeth with the personal care and attention of our team using the GLO™ Science Professional Whitening System. In as little as 60 minutes your teeth can achieve a dramatically whiter shade without pain, nor an effect on teeth sensitivity. The system includes a universally-sized mouthpiece, professional strength whitening gel and the power of the GLO™ warming heat and safe LED light to activate the gel and provide an amazing result in a short amount of time.

At-Home Tooth Whitening

We offer the take-home GLO™ kit as another option to provide you with whiter and brighter teeth, or as a means to maintain your professional-level results, in the comfort of your own home. Like the in-office system we use, the take-home kit includes a universally sized mouthpiece, a safe, less-powerful whitening gel, and the patented GLO™ warming heat and LED light. With four, hands-free, 8-minute uses in a day, you can get terrific results and/or keep your bright beautiful smile for a longer time between in-office treatments.

Tooth Whitening Toothpastes

All toothpastes help remove surface stain through the action of mild abrasives. “Whitening” toothpastes in the ADA Seal of Acceptance program have special chemical or polishing agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness. Unlike bleaches, these ADA Accepted products do not change the color of teeth because they can only remove stains on the surface.

Remember when selecting a whitener or any dental product, be sure to look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance—your assurance that they have met ADA standards of safety and effectiveness.

Porcelain Veneers

StoneRidge Dental Care offers an excellent solution for an instant smile makeover to straighten teeth, close spaces, reshape, and permanently change the color of your teeth. You can even have that “Hollywood” smile you’ve always wanted. Our Porcelain Veneers Gahanna patients experience amazing results and veneers are a fantastic way to fix front teeth that are crooked, small, or uneven. You can whiten your teeth, close spaces, and create a great smile.

Our dentists can fix:

  • Spaces between the teeth
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Permanently stained or discolored teeth
  • Unnaturally small or crooked teeth

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Our Porcelain Veneers Gahanna cosmetic dentists at StoneRidge Dental Care take great care to create your veneers. They are made of very thin layers of porcelain and are bonded on the front of your front teeth. These veneers are about 0.3mm to 0.5mm in thickness but are very strong once bonded to your teeth. They have a “life like” appearance with the strength, beauty, and durability only porcelain veneer restorations can give you. Veneers have several advantages over crowns (caps). They transmit light better than bonding and, therefore, have a more translucent appearance giving a natural, esthetic look. Veneers do not require the massive grinding of tooth structure that caps do, yet, they accomplish a very natural esthetic look.

How do I choose the best dentists for porcelain veneers?

First, you should question the training of the dentist. Have they had any hands-on training since graduating from dental school? Have they had extensive experience in placing veneers? All of the doctors at StoneRidge Dental Center have had extensive training in veneer placement for beautiful, natural looking porcelain veneers Gahanna. It is important to choose a dentist who has had extensive training and experience in the placement of veneers. Sometimes we see the “chicklet” effect when patients have had veneers placed by dentists without comprehensive esthetic training. Large, bulky veneers, or too few veneers so that the front four or six teeth literally “pop” out at you is the result of a lack of esthetic training.

What can I expect at my porcelain veneer appointment?

A consult with any of the doctors at StoneRidge Dental Care is the first order of business to determine if you are a candidate for porcelain veneers and to convey exactly what you wish to accomplish. Your smile is important-it is the first thing people notice about you and it is essential that you are able to get exactly what you want from a smile makeover. Usually, impressions are taken and wax-up of what your smile will look like is completed. After you approve the wax-up and your questions are answered, you can proceed. The first appointment with your porcelain veneers Gahanna dentist will involve contouring of the involved teeth and fabrication of a set of temporaries which you will wear for approximately three weeks. At your second appointment, the actual porcelain veneers will be bonded into place and your new smile will be revealed. The results are instant and spectacular! And StoneRidge Dental Care is known as one of the best Porcelain Veneers Gahanna and Columbus dental practices in Ohio!
