Valley Dental Health is home to two top cosmetic dentists, Dr. Ashley Izadi and Dr. Roham Rafat. In addition to preventive and restorative dental care, we offer cosmetic dentistry in Hunt Valley, MD. We also provide comprehensive dental services to new and existing patients. Our dentists work as a team and use the latest treatments and techniques to provide patients with the best care possible.
The purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to help patients improve how their smile looks. We will never suggest treatments that do not closely align with your goals. After all, the health of your teeth is the main goal. A healthy and stable bite can prevent future dental issues.
Valley Dental Health offers the following cosmetic treatments:
- Porcelain Veneers: We use dental veneers to cover many types of defects. This includes cracked teeth, chipped teeth, badly stained teeth, and teeth with large gaps between them.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening overseen by a dentist provides quicker results versus to store-bought products. The results are also more even and longer-lasting.
- Invisalign®: This clear aligner system is for teens and adults who want to fix mild to moderate crooked teeth. Also, Invisalign can help alleviate TMJ and bite issues.
Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Design: What To Expect
Careful planning will go into making your smile perfect. Our goal is to provide advanced dental care that results in long-lasting results that you love. Dr. Izadi and Dr. Rafat will begin with a complete exam to look for health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, we will check the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) to look for issues in your bite. Fixing the basic dental problems first will ensure the effectiveness of the treatments.
Creating a treatment plan may involve the use of digital photos and other dental tools. These photos help our dentists picture what the results will look like and keep track of your progress throughout the process. Our cosmetic dentist office uses Digital Smile Design to create a smile you will love. We will use images of your entire mouth to create a 3D image of your new smile. If there is something on the screen you do not like, we can make the change right away. This process will save you time and ensure you get the outcome you want.
Choosing The Right Cosmetic Dentist
If you’re looking for great cosmetic dental services, then you’re looking for the right dentist. The best ones have all the skills needed to perform each treatment and have intensive training in the field. There are many dentists in the Hunt Valley area that offer cosmetic dental care. However, few have the combined training and experience to match Dr. Izadi and Dr. Rafat.
Dr. Rafat is a periodontist with extensive training in implant dentistry, cosmetic gum procedures and other periodontal treatments. Dr. Izadi is a general dentist with a lot of training in all areas of dentistry. She has won awards for her work with Invisalign.
Aside from our experience, you can expect to receive quality customer service and personal attention from our team. We believe that talking openly and honestly about your goals and concerns is the key to a good patient-doctor relationship. This helps ease anxiety and patients can choose the right treatments to meet their needs.
The Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry
Transforming your smile with cosmetic dentistry offers many advantages. Not only can it correct dental flaws, but it can also improve your overall oral health. For instance, straightening your teeth can reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, while also helping your teeth function better. This makes chewing easier and can even improve how clearly you speak.
Fixing the look of your smile can also have a big impact on your overall well-being. Being able to smile and laugh without feeling self-conscious can give your confidence a huge boost and improve your self-esteem. Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t just change your smile, it can change how you feel about yourself, too.
