Not every smile concern requires extensive dental treatment. Sometimes it's a matter of tooth color, shape, spacing, or the appearance of an existing restoration.
Progressive Dental Arts offers cosmetic dentistry for patients who want to address specific aspects of their smile while keeping their individual features in mind. Serving Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, DE, the practice takes a treatment-focused approach to improving the appearance of your teeth rather than applying the same cosmetic solution to every smile.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses primarily on the appearance of your teeth and smile, although many cosmetic procedures can also contribute to tooth function or protection.
Depending on your needs, cosmetic care may involve professional teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, veneers, dental bonding, crowns, or other treatments designed to change the color, shape, size, alignment, or overall appearance of selected teeth.
The right option depends on what you want to change and the current condition of your teeth and gums. A cosmetic consultation gives your dentist an opportunity to examine your smile, discuss your goals, and determine which treatments are realistic for your situation.
Good cosmetic planning also considers more than the individual tooth. The size and shape of your teeth, your bite, surrounding teeth, gum line, and existing restorations can all influence how a cosmetic result looks and functions.

Cosmetic dentistry allows treatment to be directed toward the specific characteristics of your smile that you would like to change. You may be concerned about discoloration, a chipped edge, uneven tooth shape, spaces between teeth, or several issues at once.Rather than assuming that a major procedure is necessary, your dentist can consider whether a more conservative treatment could address your concern. Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Dr. Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. can discuss your goals and explain the available options, including what each procedure can and cannot change.
Cosmetic treatment should also begin with a healthy foundation. Existing cavities, gum problems, or other oral health concerns may need to be addressed before certain cosmetic procedures are performed.
Treatment can focus on issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or uneven tooth shape.
Your treatment can be selected according to your goals, oral health, and the characteristics of your existing smile.
Depending on the procedure, cosmetic dentistry can change the color, shape, proportion, or visual uniformity of teeth.
Some concerns may be addressed with relatively conservative procedures, while others require more comprehensive treatment.
Certain restorations can improve both the appearance and function of a damaged tooth.
Addressing a cosmetic concern may help you feel more comfortable with the way your smile looks.
