Reno, NV Cosmetic Dentistry

Do you feel self-conscious when you smile? Do you shy away from interactions with others or try to hide your teeth while speaking? There’s no doubt that crooked, stained, or decayed teeth can have a dramatic negative affect on your confidence.

But today, there’s an answer for just about every cosmetic dental flaw that you can imagine. At the office of Dan Barrett DMD, we offer cosmetic treatments that correct flaws, boost your confidence, and leave you with a healthier, more radiant smile.

Cosmetic Dental Problems We Correct

There’s really no limit to the smile transformations we can create. We offer an array of cosmetic dental services so we can provide just one treatment or combine several to fit your needs and desires.

Every cosmetic consultation at our Reno, NV dental office begins with a conversation about your goals. What would you like to change? How can we help? Once we have a clear understanding of what your expectations are, we can develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific needs.

Stained or Discolored Teeth

It’s not uncommon for teeth to start looking dull and discolored as we get older. If your teeth have lost their youthful sparkle, we can recommend a professional take-home whitening kit.

Our take-home kits are far superior to those you can purchase at your drug store. The whitening trays in our kits are made using impressions of your teeth for a fit that conforms perfectly to all surfaces of your teeth. Our kits also include a prescription-strength whitener that can only be used by a dental professional. Wear the trays at home every day for two weeks, and be prepared to see a stunning smile!

Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth

These are all common dental problems for which we offer several solutions. One of the easiest and most affordable treatments for these cosmetic flaws is dental bonding. We use a composite dental material to build up damaged portions of your teeth and restore them to their natural health and beauty.

Porcelain veneers are another option that can conceal many of these flaws in addition to correcting the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers can be placed on just one tooth or several teeth.

Crooked or Crowded Teeth

For mild to moderate tooth misalignment, we offer Invisalign clear braces. Invisalign is a comfortable, discreet orthodontic treatment that corrects misalignments in as little as a year. Our patients love that these clear braces are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and oral hygiene.

Damaged or Decayed Teeth

In many cases, all it takes to restore the function and appearance of a damaged tooth is a tooth-colored filling. We use a composite material that we can shade to exactly match your own tooth color for a repair that blends perfectly with surrounding natural teeth.

Teeth that are too damaged or decayed to restore with a simple filling will need a dental crown. An all-porcelain dental crown restores your tooth to full function by protecting and strengthening it.

Missing Teeth

Missing teeth aren’t just unattractive. If a missing tooth isn’t replaced, it can lead to dental problems like tooth misalignment and bone deterioration.

Dental implants are the perfect solution for missing teeth because they look, act, and function almost exactly like a real tooth. We work with top specialists in the area who expertly place the implant in your jaw. Then Dr. Barrett creates a restoration to replace function and restore your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional teeth whitening right for me?

If you have noticed that your smile is losing its youthful brightness, professional teeth whitening might be a good choice for you. Teeth whitening treatments at the office of Dan Barrett DMD, are affordable, convenient, and easy.

You may be tempted to choose an over-the-counter whitening product, hoping to save money since it costs less than a professional treatment. But in the long run, you are going to spend a lot of time and money on those drug store whiteners and still not come close to the results we can achieve with professional whitening.

We provide our patients with a completely customized take-home kit that produces amazing results in just a couple weeks. For one thing, our whitening trays are made using impressions of your teeth. The result is a tray that comes in close contact with all surfaces of your tooth.

This allows our prescription-strength whitening gel to whiten your teeth evenly and consistently. Store-bought whitening trays do not conform to the unique shape of your teeth, and therefore can’t produce the same level of whitening.

Professional teeth whitening is one of the easiest and most affordable methods for dramatically transforming your smile. We always recommend a professional cleaning prior to our whitening treatments, so please give us a call. We’ll be happy to set up your cleaning so you can talk to Dr. Barrett about our whitening options.
