Cosmetic Dentistry - Wareham, MA

Dental crowns are custom-designed restorations that cover the visible portion of a tooth weakened by decay, large fillings, or root canal therapy to restore its function and appearance. A dental bridge is comprised of two or more crowned abutment teeth that support a false tooth or teeth in between.

At Southcoast Dental, we offer same-day crowns, saving you the hassle of wearing a temporary crown and making extra office visits. This is possible thanks to CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), 3D digital imaging, and CAD/CAM technology, which enables milling crowns from solid ceramic blocks at our practice.

Our skilled restoration dentist offers porcelain veneers, a top choice for concealing multiple tooth imperfections in otherwise healthy front teeth. During the treatment planning phase, our restorative dentist collaborates with you to design beautiful veneers using advanced imaging technology. Porcelain veneers in Wareham, MA are thin, custom-crafted shells that mimic the natural translucency and texture of tooth enamel.

Because they require minimal alteration to the existing tooth structure, porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. With proper oral hygiene and care, porcelain veneers provide a durable, stain-resistant, and long-lasting solution that can truly transform the appearance of your front teeth.

Professional teeth whitening involves a comprehensive approach that includes the use of advanced whitening agents, customized treatment plans, and the expertise of our restoration dentist. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional teeth whitening at Southcoast Dental is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring optimal results without compromising your oral health.

The process begins with a consultation, during which we’ll assess your oral health and discuss your whitening goals. A special barrier is used to protect your lips and gums during the whitening process. While some patients achieve the desired level of whiteness in a single session, stubborn stains or deep discoloration may require multiple sessions.

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures consist of a full set of artificial teeth mounted on an acrylic base designed to match the color and contours of your gums. Partial dentures consist of carefully crafted artificial teeth that match the shape and color of your natural teeth mounted on a metal or acrylic framework that attaches to your existing teeth.

Partial dentures are an alternative to bridges, while complete dentures are an option for patients who prefer a traditional removable appliance to restore their smile appearance. It’s important to keep in mind that only implant-supported dentures replace the missing tooth roots, thereby helping to prevent ongoing jawbone loss.

Your journey to a straighter, aligned smile doesn’t have to be obtrusive or uncomfortable. If you have mild to moderate malocclusion issues, you may be an ideal candidate for SureSmile®, clear BPA-free plastic aligners. Intraoral scans, X-rays, smile photos, and CBCT images are combined with advanced software and sent to a specialized lab to create your series of clear aligners

SureSmile in Wareham, MA, is an ideal solution for both functional and cosmetic dentistry needs, catering to teens and adults with crowding, gaps, crookedness, and other misalignments. With SureSmile, you can achieve high-quality results while enjoying a more discreet and often shorter journey than traditional orthodontics, provided aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours a day.

Composite dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic treatment that restores decayed teeth, repairs chips or cracks, and improves discoloration while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. During this procedure, a tooth-colored resin is carefully applied, sculpted, and bonded to the impacted tooth to enhance its shape, size, or color.

This minimally invasive approach improves both appearance and function without extensive tooth preparation. Compared to crowns or veneers, composite bonding is a more conservative option that delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results.

If your gums are more noticeable than your teeth when you smile, you may have what’s commonly called a “gummy smile.” Gum reshaping corrects your gumline to reveal more of your natural tooth structure and create a more attractive smile. This treatment also corrects uneven or asymmetrical gumlines, enhancing symmetry and overall smile harmony.

And you don’t have to worry about invasive gum surgery because we use a gentle laser in Wareham, MA to recontour your gums. In addition to enhancing your smile appearance, a balanced gum-to-tooth ratio can improve your oral hygiene and health.

Healthy gums and proper tooth-to-gum balance are essential for a smile that looks natural and functions beautifully. As a cosmetic dentistry procedure, crown lengthening reshapes gum tissue—and sometimes underlying bone—to improve the appearance of gummy smiles.

For functional purposes, crown lengthening may be necessary to expose more of the tooth surface, allowing for the secure placement of crowns or bridges. Using advanced laser technology, Dr. Kiehl and the team at Southcoast Dental deliver precise, comfortable crown lengthening to restore a healthier foundation and a more confident, well-proportioned smile.
