Have you ever wanted to improve the appearance of your smile? You’re not alone. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, there were 2.69 million cosmetic dental patients in 2006. Cosmetic dentistry is everywhere—it’s on the faces of your friends, family, and co-workers, and you probably don’t even know it!

Enhancing your smile may be as easy as a one-visit whitening session. The simple procedure takes less than an hour and will leave you with a smile that’s up to ten shades whiter. Or, if you prefer, professional-grade whitening can also occur in the comfort of your own home. Dr. Michael Curtis prepares custom whitening trays that will work their magic as you sleep. Wear them at night for 10 to 14 days and  enjoy your fresh, new smile with confidence.

If you have chipped or slightly misaligned teeth, one-appointment cosmetic bonding might be the solution for you. In just one visit, Dr. Curtis can blend a liquid composite resin that perfectly matches the color of your teeth. He will apply the composite and set it with a curing light. Then he will artistically sculpt and polish the resin to restore or improve your natural smile. The results are a quick and affordable cosmetic restoration that will leave you smiling for years to come.

For patients seeking a dramatic transformation, hand-crafted porcelain veneers can enhance color, shape, and size of teeth. Made from strikingly thin shells of porcelain, veneers cover front teeth, creating a perfectly shaped, dazzlingly white smile. Veneers are long lasting, stain resistant, and require only two visits for placement. If you prefer a more conservative option, Lumineers require no tooth reduction and are reversible. At your cosmetic veneers appointment with Dr. Curtis, we will help you determine the best solution for your new smile.

Some patients need a complete smile makeover. This custom combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments can be tailored to suit your unique needs. Dr. Curtis may also recommend short-term braces, gum re-contouring, or dental implants. We will do whatever it takes to give you the one-of-a-kind, long lasting, healthy smile that you desire.

Dr. Curtis has nearly 30 years of experience in creating strong, beautiful smiles for patients from Fairfield, Huntington, Stratford, Easton, and surrounding communities. Visit our Commerce Park office in the Trumbull, Bridgeport area, or call 203-372-4296 to schedule your appointment today.
