Harrisburg Smiles stands on the cutting edge of cosmetic dental technology. We’re proud to offer every patient the chance to work with practiced hands that know cosmetic dental work is as much an art as it is a science.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry Services

The biggest benefit of cosmetic dentistry is enhanced self-esteem and confidence. If you are suffering from issues like stained teeth, gaps between your teeth, misshapen teeth, or any other cosmetic dental problems, you may feel self-conscious about your appearance, and avoid smiling, laughing, or even talking among others.

But with cosmetic dentistry, you’ll be able to get the smile you’ve always wanted, and feel great about your appearance once again. Dr. Cherukuri can work with you to develop a custom treatment plan that’s perfect for your needs and your budget.

That’s not all, though. Some cosmetic dentistry treatments, like Invisalign or veneers, can provide you with a more even smile, which makes it easier for you to brush and floss properly, and care for your teeth. 

In addition, you’re more likely to take good care of your smile after you’ve spent time and money on cosmetic treatments, which can lead to better overall long-term oral health.

Bonding, Reshaping & Contouring

Dental bonding uses dental resin to add more material to your teeth, and treat imperfections like minor chips, gaps between the teeth, stained teeth, and misshapen teeth. This treatment is completely non-invasive, and it’s fast and affordable, making it a popular choice for smile restoration. 

Shaping & contouring (enameloplasty) is often used alongside bonding. In this procedure, a special tool is used to polish your teeth and remove a small amount of enamel to treat minor chips, pitting, pointed teeth, and other imperfections.

What Are The Benefits Of Dental Bonding?

If you want to restore your smile quickly while on a budget, dental bonding is a great option. Here are a few of the benefits of this treatment:

• Non-invasive, preserves enamel – Unlike some other treatments like cosmetic crowns and veneers, dental bonding does not usually require the removal of any of your natural enamel before treatment. Instead, the surface of your teeth are lightly abraded to prepare them for treatment; your enamel remains intact.
• No anesthesia or sedation required – Because drilling is unnecessary, most patients do not need sedation or local anesthetic to prepare them for the procedure. The bonding material will simply be applied to your tooth, hardened, and sculpted into the proper shape. It’s that easy!
• Multiple teeth can be restored in one appointment – It usually only takes Dr. Cherukuri around 30-60 minutes per tooth, so you can have multiple teeth restored in just a single appointment. Your smile will be restored immediately!
• Affordable – The cost of dental bonding varies, but it is usually the most cost-effective cosmetic dentistry procedure. It is more affordable than veneers and crowns, making it ideal if you’re on a budget.
• Can last up to 10 years with proper care – The dental resin used in bonding is actually very durable. If you take proper care of your teeth, you may be able to keep it intact for 10 years or longer!

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, durable ceramic shells that fit over your front teeth and cover them up, replacing your natural teeth and providing you with a brilliant, beautiful smile. They are very versatile and can be used to treat almost any cosmetic issue, ranging from misshapen and slightly-crooked teeth to severe stains and minor chipping.

What Are The Benefits Of Veneers?

Veneers are a great option with many benefits:

• Extremely versatile – Veneers can be used to cover up almost any cosmetic imperfection including chips, gaps, serious staining, and misshapen teeth.
• Durable, stain-resistant porcelain – While the resin used in dental bonding can be stained, porcelain is non-porous and stainproof, so your smile will continue to look brilliant for years to come. However, proper oral care and hygiene are still required to keep your teeth bright, beautiful, and healthy.
• Requires only two short visits – It usually only takes two appointments over the span of 2-3 weeks to get your veneers, so you can get the smile you’ve always wanted with minimal waiting.
• Superior longevity – Porcelain veneers usually last at least 10-15 years or longer with proper care, making them a good long-term investment in your smile.

Teeth Whitening

If you want to restore your smile on a budget, teeth whitening is a great option. With our teeth whitening treatments, you can reverse years of staining and yellowing, and improve your smile in Harrisburg without any pain or discomfort. 

We offer Philips Zoom take-home whitening, which can help you improve your smile in just 7 days while you treat yourself in the comfort of your own home.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment, but has great cosmetic benefits, too. With Invisalign, you can shift your teeth and correct your bite to create a healthier, more appealing alignment that will improve your overall appearance. 

Compared to braces, Invisalign is faster, more comfortable, and more convenient. It’s also invisible when worn and can be removed to eat and drink, and to brush and floss, so it’s a great option for older patients who wish to avoid wearing traditional braces.
