Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

At our practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we offer a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures. The procedures offered at our practice include:

Tooth Whitening

In-office tooth whitening or tooth bleaching is done with a series of appointments usually lasting an hour each. First, the teeth are cleaned and examined to make sure there are no loose fillings, cavities, gum problems for other issues that could be affected by the whitening process. Next, Dr. Holbrook will make a custom mouth tray for your teeth. Bleaching gel, containing a hydrogen peroxide solution, will be applied to your teeth in the tray. Frequently, another gel or rubber shield will be placed over the gums to protect them. Lastly, an ultraviolet light is used on the teeth to finish the process.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a big solution for missing teeth. Implants are surgically implanted in the jaw to provide a comfortable, secure fit and a natural look.

Veneers

Veneers are a thin, tooth-colored shell, that are customized to the person’s teeth and bonded to the front sides of the teeth. Veneers close gaps, cover stains or discolorations and can correct misshaped or chipped teeth.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are caps, made from porcelain, that are bonded to the teeth that help strengthen and improve the shape, size, and color of the teeth. They help support broken or weak teeth. They also help the implantation of bridges or other implants.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges or fixed partial dentures are natural-looking tooth replacements that are used for multiple missing teeth. They help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in gaps caused by missing teeth.

Fillings

Fillings help fill the holes caused by cavities. Usually filled in with dental composite resin the filling protects the tooth and looks natural.

Dentures

Dentures are a dental appliance that is removable that helps replace missing teeth. Dr. Holbrook offers two types of dentures, partial dentures and complete dentures. Partial dentures help fill in the missing teeth and keeps your other teeth from shifting. Full Dentures are used when a patient is missing all their teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an aligner that is virtually invisible and is used to straighten teeth without the need for braces. Invisalign is custom fit to your mouth and is less painful than standard braces.

Mini Implants

Mini implants are dental implants that have a smaller diameter than regular implants. Mini implants are also placed in the mouth using less invasive techniques.

All-On-4

All-On-4 is an alternative approach to full arch, fixed replacement teeth. This method involves placing the implants onto the bone without the need for bone grafting.

Can You Combine Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures?

It is common for multiple cosmetic dental procedures to be combined to fully revitalize the mouth. When receiving porcelain veneers, Dr. Holbrook may suggest that you undergo a tooth whitening procedure prior to placing the veneers. If you have missing teeth but would also like to correct the existing teeth, dental implants can be used to replace your teeth while whitening or veneers can improve the rest of your smile. These options will be discussed during your initial consultation with Dr. Holbrook and our team.
