At Uniondale Dental, our modern approach to cosmetic dentistry helps patients from Kew Gardens and throughout Long Island, NY achieve attractive, natural-looking smiles with confidence.
Below are five of the most common cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer:
Composite Bonding
Dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic procedures and is commonly used to correct minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, or small areas of decay. During the procedure, your dentist gently removes any damaged tooth structure before applying a tooth-
colored composite resin. The material is carefully shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. The process involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a stable foundation for a custom dental crown. Once the implant integrates with the surrounding bone and tissue, the crown is secured in place. The result is a restoration that closely resembles natural teeth in both appearance and function.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most popular cosmetic treatments available. The process begins with a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, followed by the application of a professional whitening solution. Whitening can brighten your smile beyond your natural tooth shade, depending on your goals.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays—often called indirect fillings—are custom-made restorations created in a dental laboratory to precisely fit your tooth. They are typically recommended for mild to moderate decay or when a tooth lacks sufficient structure to support a standard filling.
Inlays are used when the tooth’s cusps remain intact and fit within the chewing surface.
Onlays are used when one or more cusps or a larger portion of the tooth is damaged.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells designed to closely mimic the look of natural teeth. Made from durable, medical-grade ceramic, veneers provide highly realistic and long-lasting results.
Veneers can correct a range of cosmetic concerns, including discolouration, chipped or cracked enamel, uneven spacing, minor misalignment, and small gaps between teeth.
