Cosmetic Dentistry in Lake Oswego

Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most popular dental fields because a smile that looks its best will help you look and feel your best. Few patients have the smile they want, and as time goes by, it may become harder to achieve and maintain a smile you’re proud of. This is where cosmetic dentists like Dr. Larry Bowden of Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego come in to offer help in the form of cosmetic dentistry services. Just a short drive across the river from West Linn, our Lake Oswego dental office provides advanced aesthetic treatments for patients looking to refresh their confidence.

Keep reading to learn more about the cosmetic dental treatments available at our Lake Oswego dental office and how you may benefit.

What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry, also known as aesthetic dentistry, is focused on improving the aesthetics of your smile by repairing damaged or decayed teeth, replacing missing teeth, and enhancing small cosmetic flaws like discolored teeth. While cosmetic dental treatments are focused on aesthetics, they often cross over with services that directly benefit your oral health.

At Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego, we approach cosmetic dentistry holistically. We understand that your smile is part of your whole-body wellness, which is why we prioritize the use of biocompatible, metal-free materials to ensure your aesthetic improvements also support your long-term health.

Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services in Lake Oswego

A radiant smile can transform your confidence and your overall outlook on life. At Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego, we combine artistic precision with biological health principles to offer cosmetic enhancements that look natural and support your total body wellness.

ZOOM!® Teeth Whitening

An in-office professional whitening system that safely delivers stunning results, Dr. Bowden will oversee every step of your whitening session. We may be able to whiten your smile up to eight shades in just one appointment. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve your dream smile.

Porcelain Veneers

These tooth-shaped porcelain shells attach to the front surfaces of your teeth to conceal minor cosmetic flaws. Dental veneers allow patients to enjoy a beautiful smile without having to undergo more extensive or invasive dentistry treatments.

Invisalign®

This orthodontic system is ideal for correcting malocclusion or dental misalignment. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign orthodontic treatment makes use of clear aligner trays. Invisalign clear aligners are transparent, comfortable, and easily removable. Even better, Invisalign orthodontics wors in about six months to one year, half the average time of traditional metal braces!

Z-Look 3 Zirconia Dental Implants

Implant restorations look and function just like real teeth, complete with a post that mimics the root of a natural tooth. These life-like restorations can last a lifetime with proper care, and help prevent tooth loss-related health issues like jawbone resorption. Dr. Bowden offers zirconia implants, which integrate into the body better than titanium and offer a wide array of other holistic benefits.

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a dental crown restores its strength and shape. Dr. Bowden uses metal-free crowns made from biocompatible materials like porcelain and zirconia, avoiding the allergy risks and dark gumline shadows sometimes associated with traditional metal crowns.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Mercury-free and metal-free, tooth-colored fillings repair cavities while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. These composite resin fillings bond directly to your tooth, preserving more of your healthy enamel than traditional silver fillings.

Inlays and Onlays

For teeth with damage too extensive for a filling but not severe enough for a full crown, inlays and onlays offer a conservative middle-ground restoration. Custom-crafted to match your natural tooth color, they strengthen and protect your tooth while preserving as much healthy structure as possible.

Full Smile Makeovers

If you have multiple cosmetic or restorative concerns, a full smile makeover combines several treatments into one personalized plan. Dr. Bowden considers your bite, aesthetics, and overall function to help you achieve a smile that looks beautiful and works the way it should.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have gaps between your teeth, several cosmetic dentistry options can help you achieve a more uniform smile. Whether you’re looking for a quick fix or a long-term solution, your cosmetic dentist in Lake Oswego can recommend the best treatment based on your needs and goals.

Dental bonding — A fast, affordable, and non-invasive option, bonding involves blending tooth-colored composite resin to seamlessly fill small gaps.
Porcelain veneers — Thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to durably conceal gaps, discoloration, or minor misalignment with a natural-looking enhancement.
Clear aligners — If a gap is due to misalignment, Invisalign® or other clear aligner orthodontics gradually, discreetly, and comfortably shift teeth into the proper position.
Dental bridges— If a gap is caused by one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill it by anchoring an artificial tooth to the adjacent teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Each of these options has its advantages. Your dentist can help you determine the best choice for your oral health and aesthetic goals.
