Self-image affects people's relationships as well as their overall happiness. People who feel good about themselves are often able to form stronger relationships at work and in their personal lives. An attractive smile is one of the most noticeable features a person can have, and many have found that improving their smiles has had a dramatic overall impact on both their appearance and their self-esteem. White, straight teeth convey health, beauty, and a positive demeanor. Cosmetic dentistry offers patients an easy way to create a more attractive smile.
From teeth whitening to porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns, our practice serving Denver, Aurora, Centennial, Colorado, offers the full-range of cosmetic dentistry procedures to help bring out your best smile.
Featured Procedures:
With porcelain veneers, you can have whiter, straighter teeth and a natural looking, attractive smile that will last for years with proper maintenance. Crafted from thin layers of porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of your natural teeth, veneers can hide cracks, gaps, and chips. With this form of “instant orthodontics,” discolored teeth can be whitened and crooked teeth straightened. Veneers can also be used to make small teeth look longer or to make uneven teeth the same length. Porcelain veneers can be matched to your original tooth color, making your beautiful smile look completely natural.
Your porcelain veneers can be placed on your teeth at our Denver area practice and can brighten your smile in as little as two visits. We offer a variety of brands including Lumineers®, da vinci veneers™, and more to best fit your needs. During your first visit, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the front surfaces of the teeth in need of treatment. Then an impression will be taken so that your veneers can be custom made to fit your teeth. After about a week or two, when your veneers are ready, they will be bonded onto your teeth. Your smile will be brighter, straighter, and more beautiful, yet will look extremely natural.
If you are interested in porcelain veneers and live in the Denver area, contact our cosmetic dentistry office in Aurora, Colorado today to schedule a consultation.
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures for lightening teeth stained by tea, coffee, soda, and tobacco. We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening to provide our Denver area patients with maximum convenience.
In-office teeth whitening affords patients the opportunity to achieve whiter teeth in less than an hour. First, a bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and then activated by exposure to a specially designed whitening light. Alternatively, at-home teeth whitening systems offer our patients the flexibility and comfort of being able to whiten their teeth in the privacy of their own homes. We help our patients choose the correct product for optimal results. We offer Opalescence®, Day White®, and Nite White® home teeth whitening products at our Denver area office. Results can be dramatic, yet many people will only notice that you look better without knowing exactly why. That's because with teeth whitening at the practice of D'Amico and Associates, D.D.S. in Aurora, Colorado, we strive for results that are beautiful and natural looking.

When teeth are damaged due to injury or decay, porcelain crowns can be used to repair them. Crowns slip over the damaged tooth like a jacket. They can restore strength to cracked teeth and cover significant areas of decay. All porcelain crowns can be matched to the original color of the teeth so they look completely natural. In addition to the structural benefits of crowns, they can also be used for purely cosmetic reasons -- to reshape, recolor, or realign a person's teeth.
In just two visits, your porcelain crowns can be placed on you teeth at our Aurora, Colorado practice. During your first visit, your tooth will be trimmed to make room for the crown. An impression of your prepared tooth is taken so that your crown can be custom made. During your second appointment, the custom-made crown is bonded onto your tooth, creating a more beautiful look and strong structure that looks and feels like a natural tooth. With the proper care, your porcelain crown should last long into the future.
If you are interested in creating a brighter, stronger, more beautiful smile with the use of porcelain crowns, contact D'Amico and Associates, D.D.S. in Aurora, Colorado, today to arrange a consultation with our cosmetic dentists.
When teeth in the back of the mouth suffer decay, inlays and onlays can be used to fill them. Sculpted to ensure a precise fit, inlays fill cavities and restore strength to damaged teeth. Onlays are more extensive than inlays, covering the entire top surface of the tooth. Onlays are most often used when the extent of tooth decay makes inlays and regular fillings unsuitable treatment options, but the decay or damage is not sufficient enough to require porcelain crowns. Both inlays and onlays are made from tooth-colored material so that your results will be both durable and natural-looking. These restorations are ultimately bonded to the tooth, thus strengthening the tooth.
This simple procedure can produce dramatic results. Bonding uses a composite material to repair cracks and chips, conceal stains, and fill in unwanted gaps between teeth. Bonding is a quick and easy procedure that does not require any of your original tooth enamel be removed, unlike porcelain veneers and crowns.
Unlike inlays, onlays, or porcelain crowns, tooth-colored fillings are done in a single appointment. They are a good way to treat small cavities in teeth. Though they look excellent and are bonded directly to teeth, they are not necessarily as durable as porcelain inlays or onlays.
Laser dentistry techniques can help reduce treatment time and increase the efficiency of many of our cosmetic procedures. Lasers can be used to remove tooth decay more quickly and with less pain than with a traditional drill, and gums can be sculpted and contoured to reduce the look of a “gummy” smile. Lasers also speed up the curing of fillings, porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers, while creating an extremely strong structure. Our cosmetic dentists are highly experienced in the use of lasers for cosmetic dentistry procedures and utilize them whenever possible.
An overall beautiful smile can help you make strong first impressions and generally feel better about yourself.
