Dentistry Dallas, Texas (TX) |
Cosmetic Dentistry is that field of dentistry that enhances your smile.
Cosmetic Dentistry can change the length, width, contour, position and shade of your teeth.

Dallas, can alter your gum line so that you don’t have a gummy smile.
He can balance your teeth so that your smile is in harmony with your facial characteristics,
and can replace missing teeth and place restorations with tooth colored materials. All this is possible because of the modern materials utilized in
Cosmetic Dentistry today. Dr. Walton creates a beautiful smile which is an integral part of a beautiful face.
Thanks to modern
advancements in cosmetic dentistry, more
options than ever before are available
to give you the smile of your dreams.
Teeth whitening, life-like
porcelain veneers, and natural colored
restorations are just a few of the
affordable options available to give you
the smile you have always dreamed of.
Today's top cosmetic dental treatment
options include:
Whitening - The most commonly
prescribed cosmetic dental procedure,
many whitening options are now available
to consumers in a wide range of prices.
Dentist-supervised treatments remain the
AACD recommended procedures for
lightening discolored teeth.
Bonding - An option for chipped
or cracked teeth, bonding is a process
in which an enamel-like material is
applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted
into shape, hardened, and then polished
for an ideal smile.
Dental Implants - A replacement
for dentures, implants are a stronger,
more attractive option for replacing
missing or lost teeth. An implant
replaces the root of a lost tooth..
Veneers - An increasingly popular
procedure, veneers are ultra-thin,
custom-made laminates that are affixed
directly to the teeth. They are a great
option for closing gaps or disguising
discolored teeth that did not respond
well to whitening procedures.

Cosmetic
Dentistry FAQ
I know my smile needs some work, but
I'm not sure if I can afford to have
cosmetic dental work done.
The cost of cosmetic dental work depends
on how much work you want done. Like any
cosmetic process, costs will increase
with the amount of product or services
you desire. Dr. Walton can
explain various prices and the best
procedure for you. Also, some cosmetic
dental options are covered by insurance.
Cosmetic dental work is probably not as
expensive as you think. Investment in
cosmetic dentistry is an investment in
you. It can lead to an improved dental
appearance and help improve self-esteem
and overall confidence.
Most of my teeth are bunched too near
the front of my mouth. Is there a way to
get rid of that crowded look?
With
removable orthodontics, cosmetic
contouring, and/or bonding and
veneering, teeth can be reshaped and
polished for long-lasting results: a
stronger, less crowded-looking
appearance.
My back teeth have a lot of silver
and gold. Is there a less obvious way to
fill cavities?
New advances in tooth-colored porcelain
and composite materials not only allow
fillings to go unnoticed, but are
stronger and more wear-resistant than
silver and gold.
There's a big gap between my two
front teeth. Can that be changed?
Yes. Bonded veneers can close gaps and
help create the smile you desire. Bonded
resins generally require one office
visit, while porcelain veneering takes
two. Bonded veneers, along with good
oral hygiene and a healthy lifestyle,
are effective ways to enhance a smile.
Dr. Walton can explain the various
techniques and help determine which is
the best suited to your specific needs.
How can I make my discolored teeth
whiter?
Tooth whitening, the process for
lightening discolored teeth, can be
accomplished in the dentist's office or
with dentist-supervised, at-home
systems. Teeth can be whitened to the
desired shade over several office
visits. At-home systems should be
individually fitted by a Dr. Walton.
