What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is the area of dentistry focused on improving the aesthetics of your smile. Unlike restorative and general dentistry which are more about improving the function of your smile, cosmetic dentistry is about appearance.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Comprehensive dentistry looks at more than just how your smile is functioning. It looks at how you feel about your smile too. Cosmetic dentistry allows us to help you feel better about your smile, whether that be through a small repair using dental bonding or a smile makeover that completely revitalizes the cosmetics of your smile.
When we bring you a cosmetic dentistry treatment, we bring you:
Our veneers and crowns can help you preserve and protect teeth that have experienced damage in the enamel or have cracks while bringing you a more pleasing smile.
Are There Oral Health Benefits to Cosmetic Treatments?
While cosmetic dentistry aims to improve your appearance, it can often have health benefits! Here are some examples of when our cosmetic dentistry can help your oral health:
- Tooth Whitening can do a light cleaning of your teeth and strengthen your enamel
- Invisalign helps keep your jaw aligned correctly, preventing wear and tear on your smile
- Veneers protect a tooth’s enamel and strengthen it if it is cracked
- Dental Bonding prevents a crack from deepening or a chip from growing bigger
Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
With the help of your cosmetic dentist in Homer, you can improve your smile and repair any dental damage you might have been putting off for years. Cosmetic dentistry procedures aim to make your smile more elegant by addressing issues with the teeth and gums.
In just a few appointments you can have a brand new, sparkling smile from the completion of any of the following procedures:
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most common and effective cosmetic dentistry treatments. With professional teeth whitening, it’s easy to lighten teeth and remove discoloration and stains. Most people don’t have a perfectly white smile, as age, diet, genetics, and more can have an impact on your smile’s color.
The good news is that professional teeth whitening is safe, meaning it won’t strip your natural tooth enamel, and is highly effective. Dr. Adamson will ensure you get the results you want.

Porcelain Veneers
When you have multiple imperfections on one or several teeth, veneers are an excellent solution. Instead of receiving multiple treatments over many months, you can get porcelain veneers.
These veneers are permanently attached to the front of your teeth, and they act as tooth-colored shells that go on top of your existing teeth. The porcelain material is strong and matched to look natural. The veneers are uniform and white, so you’ll have a completely new smile without imperfections.
Veneers are a permanent solution for one or multiple teeth, so they aren’t right for everyone. If you want a straightforward way to change your teeth, they are a great option.
Here is how our porcelain veneers work.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure that repairs or hides small imperfections. This treatment uses a resin composite material that’s matched to the shade of your natural teeth.
Dr. Adamson applies and cures this material to fix issues like chips, cracks, gaps, and more. Dental bonding usually doesn’t require anesthesia, so it’s a wonderful option to improve your smile if you only have minor issues.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a system of braces that uses clear, removable aligners to shift your teeth. While traditional orthodontics uses metal and wires, Invisalign is much more comfortable and less noticeable.
You’ll receive a new set of aligners every couple of weeks or so, and you can wear them like you would a retainer. While they should be worn most of the time, you can easily remove Invisalign braces to eat or brush your teeth.
If you have mild to moderate orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be a great alternative to metal braces.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a cavity removed, the hole left behind is “filled” with a filling. At Homer Dental Center, we provide tooth-colored fillings that match your natural smile, so no one will ever know you had a filling.
Find out more about the advantages of tooth-colored fillings below.
The Advantages of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dental fillings can come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. In the past, they have been created using dark, metal materials like gold or silver. With advances in today’s modern dental technology, we offer a composite resin material that can match the exact color of your tooth.
Tooth-colored fillings are a necessity for keeping your teeth appearing clean and cosmetic. Even if your teeth are stained or yellowed, composite resin acts like normal tooth enamel and can be whitened as if it were a normal tooth.
