Cosmetic Dentistry Spring, TX

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and it’s one of the last things they’ll forget. Your smile can be a personal and professional asset if you’re confident in it. Otherwise, it can be a detriment, making it hard for you to feel comfortable in public.

The Houston cosmetic dentists at Stephens & Gatewood Dentistry can help you achieve the beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of, but might never have thought possible.

The Importance of Cosmetic Dentistry

People sometimes think of cosmetic dentistry as a secondary procedure. The truth is that an attractive smile is one of the most important functions of your teeth. It’s part of our normal greeting, and it can significantly impact your personal and professional relationships.

At Stephens & Gatewood Dentistry, our Houston cosmetic dentists take cosmetic dentistry so seriously that we believe all dentistry should be cosmetic. If dental treatments don’t improve–or at least maintain–the beauty of your smile, they aren’t truly successful.

Your smile impacts your ability to make a great first impression. People notice your smile immediately, and it’s what they’re most likely to remember after a first meeting: more likely than what you wore, more likely than how you smelled, even more likely than what you said.

An attractive smile gives you confidence. It lets you speak freely in public, smile when you’re happy, laugh when there’s something funny, and eat when you’re hungry. If you are worried about your smile, you might hesitate in these situations, or try to avoid them altogether.

Nor is cosmetic dentistry just about your appearance. A beautiful smile is a healthy smile. Straight teeth are less likely to trap food and are easier to clean. That’s why orthodontic treatment can reduce your risk of gum disease. Plus, white teeth show you have strong, healthy enamel, free from cavities.

Patient Testimonials

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening removes stains from your enamel. Common stains from food, drink, smoking, and other sources embed themselves in your tooth enamel. The chemicals in teeth whitening break down the stains so your teeth can look as bright as your natural enamel allows.

We offer in-office whitening with Zoom! and Sensational Whitening. We also offer take-home whitening trays from Nite White.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a composite that our Houston cosmetic dentists apply to your teeth. It starts as a soft putty, but after the dentist shapes it to lengthen, repair, or reshape your tooth, we cure it to make it hard, then polish it to a beautiful shine. This is a versatile procedure, and it’s inexpensive, but not as long-lasting as porcelain veneers.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers aren’t really porcelain any more. These shells of advanced ceramic attach to your teeth, giving them a beautiful and durable new surface. Veneers can brighten your smile, reshape your teeth, and repair damaged teeth. They can close gaps in your smile and correct small misalignments. In addition, they are stain-resistant and strong. This means your results will last a decade or more.

Invisalign

Invisalign lets you straighten your teeth without the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces. Instead, it uses clear plastic aligners you wear over your teeth, pushing them into the desired position. With Invisalign, you won’t have diet restrictions, and you won’t have to clean your teeth around brackets and wires.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns fit over your teeth, giving them an entirely new visible surface. Like veneers, they can brighten and reshape your teeth. In addition, they can strengthen and protect your teeth, so we use them if you have damaged teeth that need the extra support.

At Stephens & Gatewood, we offer CEREC same-day crowns. This means you can get crowns made while you wait, rather than having to make a second visit to our dental office to complete your dental crown procedure.

Ceramic Fillings

Traditional fillings are made of metal amalgam (mostly mercury) or gold. These are highly visible. Plus, amalgam fillings turn black and can lead to mercury accumulation in your body. Composite fillings are attractive, but aren’t as strong and durable. Cosmetic fillings combine both beauty and strength. These long-lasting restorations let you get rid of old fillings and repair new large cavities while helping your smile look beautiful.

We can also make ceramic fillings with CEREC.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge uses your natural teeth to support a replacement tooth. It can look attractive and will let you bite and chew normally. Results can be long-lasting, but they’re only appropriate in limited situations. We can also make dental bridges with CEREC.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the tooth replacement most like your natural teeth. With dental implants you can bite and chew normally, practice normal oral hygiene, and enjoy a beautiful smile that looks natural. Plus, with proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Our Houston implant dentists also offer the All-on-4 dental implant system, which can replace an entire arch of teeth with just four implants.
