From surface stains on your teeth to complete smile makeovers, Chris Mohler, DDS, can help transform your smile into one that makes you feel confident. Learn more about cosmetic dentistry candidacy and commonly used treatments to rejuvenate smiles.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Yellow, dingy teeth are common for most people. As a result of certain foods and beverages and lifestyle choices like smoking, teeth stains can be difficult to remove on your own. While store-bought teeth whitening treatments are widely available, these products do not produce noticeable results for most people. For more profound results, consider professional teeth whitening in Beaufort at Chris Mohler, DDS. We use KöR Whitening, which is the safest and most effective teeth whitening treatment available.
Cosmetic Bonding
For minor aesthetic flaws in your teeth, like intrinsic teeth stains or a tooth that is chipped or cracked, cosmetic bonding may be the right choice for you. Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin that is expertly crafted and permanently bonded to your tooth. Dr. Mohler polishes the restoration once bonded, revealing a natural-looking restoration that takes only one office visit to complete.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are what make Hollywood smiles. If you have ever seen someone smile with the most perfect-looking teeth, bright white, straight, and even in length, it is likely the result of veneers. For patients needing several or more teeth repaired, veneers may be the answer. Thin porcelain shells that cover the front portion of each tooth, veneers can hide slightly crooked, gapped, uneven, or otherwise imperfect teeth. Veneers are also ideal if you wish to have permanently white teeth beyond what you can achieve with teeth whitening.
Dental Crowns
In some instances, teeth have sustained significant damage beyond what cosmetic bonding or veneers can repair. Teeth with structural damage or where half or more of the tooth is damaged or decayed, Dr. Mohler may recommend a dental crown, which is like a cap covering the entire tooth. Crowns look entirely natural because we craft them from high-quality porcelain that mimics the look of natural tooth enamel.
Advanced Technology
Thanks to our CEREC technology, we can produce many porcelain restorations right here in our Beaufort dental office without needing a dental lab and waiting weeks for your results.
