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.

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.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Once your smile is looking its best, you’ll likely look and feel more confident and attractive. Your smile helps people see you as friendly and professional in social situations. Additionally, feeling confident about the appearance of your teeth means you’re more likely to smile, laugh, and interact with others in the way you would like to, which can lead to some surprising benefits for your overall well-being! Did you know that smiling and laughing helps control pain, lowers stress, and boosts immunity?

ZOOM!® Teeth Whitening
ZOOM! teeth whitening is an in-office professional whitening system that safely delivers stunning results. Dr. Bowden will oversee every step of your whitening session and whiten your smile up to eight shades in just one appointment. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional ZOOM! teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve your dream smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a quick and convenient method for improving the look of your smile. 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®
Invisalign is an orthodontic system 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 works in about six months to one year, half the average time of traditional metal braces!
Z-Look 3 Zirconia Dental Implants
As a holistic implant dentist, Dr. Bowden offers Z-Look 3 Zirconia Dental Implants. Dental implants are considered the gold standard for smile restoration following tooth loss. 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.
