Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for cosmetic dentistry?

Do you have a healthy set of teeth but find yourself distracted by minor flaws? Maybe you’ve pondered if there’s a way to boost the appeal of your smile. If so, cosmetic dentistry could be your answer.

Here’s the catch – cosmetic dental procedures aren’t about transforming your entire appearance. Rather, they aim to create positive changes that enhance the natural beauty and health of your teeth. They’re designed to give you more reasons to smile, laugh, and exude confidence in your daily interactions.

Does this resonate with you? If so, don’t hesitate. Contact your cosmetic dentist and book a consultation. It might just be the first step towards achieving the dazzling smile you’ve always dreamed of.

What should I expect from my visit?

Isn’t it amazing how dentistry has evolved? Today, cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry can all come together in a single appointment. Your visit is about more than just refining your smile.

Your cosmetic dentist isn’t only focused on aesthetics. They’re equally dedicated to discussing the health aspects of your treatment. Because, in our view, a stunning smile should also be a healthy one. So, when you’re in that dental chair, rest assured, you’re in caring hands – hands that prioritize both your overall health and your dazzling smile.

What types of cosmetic treatments are available to me?

There are many types of cosmetic treatments available, from in-office teeth whitening to total smile makeovers. The types of treatments available to you will depend on your overall goals but may include professional whitening, tooth-colored fillings, bonding, crowns, veneers, or dental implants.

What should I expect after receiving a cosmetic treatment?

Upon completing your treatment, we’ll provide you with a unique set of care instructions, specifically designed for you. Let’s say you’ve just had your teeth whitened – you’d be advised to avoid deeply colored foods and beverages for a few days to ward off any potential staining.

Conversely, if you’ve undergone a dental implant transformation, expect some downtime. You might need to adopt a temporary but limited diet. But don’t fret, it’s all part of the journey towards that flawless smile you deserve.

We’re in this together, every step of the way. Your radiant smile is our joy, and your well-being, our utmost concern.

Treatments our Cosmetic Dentist Offers:

Teeth Whitening

Picture this. You’re strolling down the street, catching glimpses of your reflection in storefront windows, and what’s that you see? A stunning, radiant smile that turns heads and lights up the room. That’s the power of teeth whitening, a simple cosmetic procedure that can transform your smile and boost your confidence.

There are different paths to this dazzling destination. One is a swift and effective journey at our dental office, also known as chairside whitening. Our dental professional applies a special whitening gel to your teeth, then uses a unique light to activate it. Within an hour, your teeth could be several shades lighter. It’s like a quick trip to a brighter smile.

If you prefer a more leisurely pace, we offer at-home whitening kits. These custom-made trays filled with whitening gel are worn over your teeth for a certain period each day. The duration and frequency depend on the product and how bright you want your smile to be. This path may take a few weeks, but the journey is just as rewarding.

Both options are safe and effective when guided by a dental professional. However, it’s worth noting that teeth whitening isn’t for everyone and results vary. Certain types of stains, like those from specific medications or fluorosis, might not respond to treatment. Plus, the whitening effect isn’t permanent. To keep your smile looking its best, it’s recommended to avoid foods and drinks that stain and to schedule touch-ups regularly.

In the end, teeth whitening is a sought-after solution for those seeking to enhance their smiles. But it’s essential to have a chat with our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Walsh, to see if it’s the right fit for you and discuss the results you can anticipate. Because here, your smile is more than just a feature—it’s a statement to your confidence.

Porcelain Veneers

Imagine waking up, looking in the mirror, and being greeted by a flawless, radiant smile. No chips, no discoloration, no misalignment, and no gaps. Sounds like something out of a dream, right? Well, with porcelain veneers, this dream can come true.

Your journey to a picture-perfect smile starts with a one-on-one consultation with a cosmetic dentist. Together, you’ll explore your aspirations for your smile and determine if veneers are your best bet. If they are, your dentist will prepare your tooth by gently removing a smidgen of enamel to make space for the veneer. Afterward, an impression of your tooth is taken to create a tailor-made veneer that fits perfectly.

When your veneer is ready, it’s bonded to your prepared tooth using a special dental cement. A unique light is then used to harden the cement, securing the veneer firmly onto your tooth. The final step? Polishing the veneer to give it a natural shine that merges flawlessly with your smile.

Porcelain veneers aren’t just sought-after because they can transform your smile in a handful of appointments. They’re also favored for their ability to alter the shape or size of teeth. They require less reduction of tooth structure than crowns, making them a fitting choice for those with sensitive teeth.

Moreover, veneers are built to endure. With the right care, they can keep your smile gleaming for years. They’re also resistant to stains and discoloration, ensuring your smile stays bright and beautiful.

However, porcelain veneers do require a commitment. They’re a permanent procedure, necessitating the removal of some tooth enamel. They might also be more costly than other cosmetic options like bonding.

In conclusion, porcelain veneers could be your key to a stunning, lasting smile. But it’s crucial to have a comprehensive discussion with a cosmetic dentist to ascertain if veneers are the right choice for you and what results you can anticipate. Because here, your smile isn’t just a feature—it’s a reflection of your confidence.

Dental Implants

Imagine a solution for your missing or damaged teeth that not only restores your smile but also brings back the confidence to eat, speak, and laugh without hesitation. Sounds like a dream? Welcome to the world of dental implants.

Dental implants, small titanium posts fashioned like screws, are designed to take the place of your missing tooth root. They’re carefully inserted into your jawbone, creating a robust foundation for your new tooth. Once the implant has integrated with your jawbone, a dental crown is placed on top, sealing the transformation.

But what makes dental implants stand out from traditional tooth replacement options? The secret lies in their unique advantages. Dental implants are secured directly into your jawbone, offering a stable platform for your replacement tooth. This means you can chew and bite as naturally and comfortably as you would with your own teeth. Plus, they don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, eliminating any risk of damaging or weakening your neighboring teeth.

Another perk? Dental implants play a crucial role in maintaining the health of your jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone around that area can start to shrink or deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate bone growth and prevent further bone loss, ensuring the health and integrity of your jaw.

With their high success rate and potential to last many years with appropriate care, dental implants have become a preferred choice for many. However, it’s important to note that dental implants may not be suitable for everyone. Those with certain health conditions or insufficient jawbone density may need to consider alternative solutions.

In short, dental implants provide an exceptional solution for those looking to replace missing or damaged teeth. They offer a stable, secure base for replacement teeth and help to preserve the health of your jawbone. If you’re contemplating dental implants, a consultation with our cosmetic dentist in Johnstown, OH is essential to determine if they’re the best fit for you.

Dr. Walsh has taken special training in All-on-1 mono dental implants, since these implants are smaller than traditional implants, they can be placed in areas where traditional implants can’t be used. This opens up the opportunity that more patients can qualify for dental implants.

Dental Bonding

Imagine a simple, quick solution to those nagging cosmetic dental issues that can transform your smile in just one visit. Sounds like a fairytale? Well, it’s not. Meet dental bonding, the unsung hero of cosmetic dentistry.

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin material to your teeth. This resin is lovingly sculpted to the perfect shape and size, then hardened with a special light. The final touch? A polish that matches the shine of your natural teeth, making your smile truly sparkle.

Now you might be thinking, “What issues can dental bonding actually fix?” Well, it’s quite versatile. Whether you’re bothered by chipped or cracked teeth, gaps between your teeth, discolored or stained teeth, misshapen or uneven teeth, or even exposed tooth roots due to receding gums, dental bonding has got you covered.

The best part? Dental bonding can be completed in just one visit. It’s quick, painless, and the results are durable, lasting for several years with proper care.

But there’s more. One of the greatest benefits of dental bonding is its minimal invasiveness compared to other cosmetic procedures like veneers or crowns. It requires less reduction of your natural tooth structure, meaning it’s gentler on your teeth. Plus, it tends to be easier on your wallet than other cosmetic options.

In conclusion, dental bonding is a fantastic, budget-friendly solution for a variety of cosmetic dental issues. It’s a gentle yet effective way to enhance your smile in a single visit. So why wait? Discover the magic of dental bonding and let your smile shine brighter than ever before.

Invisalign®

Picture yourself achieving a beautifully straight smile without the noticeable appearance of conventional braces. Imagine a solution so discreet, it’s almost invisible. Sounds too good to be real? Allow me to present Invisalign® – your clear path to a perfect smile.

Invisalign® provides a series of tailor-made clear aligners, designed to gently guide your teeth into their perfect position. Their almost undetectable appearance makes them an attractive choice for those seeking orthodontic treatment that doesn’t draw attention.

The first step to a straighter smile with Invisalign® is a consultation with a dental expert. During this session, we’ll gather impressions, photos, and X-rays of your teeth to create a 3D digital model of your unique dental profile. Using this model, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan highlighting the sequence of aligners that will lead your teeth to their ideal alignment.

Every set of aligners is typically worn for around two weeks before progressing to the next in the series. For the best results, the aligners should be in place for at least 22 hours each day. And don’t worry, we’ll accompany you throughout this journey, arranging regular check-ups every six to eight weeks at our Johnstown, OH clinic to track your progress.

Treatment duration varies on an individual basis, but most patients can anticipate wearing Invisalign® aligners for approximately 12 to 18 months. Following treatment, a retainer might be required to maintain your newly aligned smile.

Invisalign® is a fantastic option for individuals with mild to moderate teeth misalignment who are looking for a discreet orthodontic solution. However, it might not be suitable for severe teeth misalignment or bite issues. Considering Invisalign®? Why not book a consultation with our experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Walsh, to find out if it’s the right fit for your smile.
