Please make an appointment today to talk to Dr. Scott Mahlin about how we can improve the look of your smile through cosmetic dentistry.

Natural-Looking Tooth Restorations

When teeth are damaged, you might not be able to chew correctly. A damaged tooth can also be vulnerable to infection or further damage.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Most of us will have at least one cavity in our lifetime. With today’s tooth-colored fillings made from a composite resin material, restorations are virtually invisible. In addition, if you still have old amalgam (metal) fillings, we can replace those with durable composites for a seamless look.
Cosmetic Bonding
Using the same composite material we use for tooth-colored fillings, cosmetic bonding offers a quick way to repair minor flaws in your smile. We can fix gaps, cracks, and chips—and usually in just one dental appointment.
Dental Crowns
Teeth that have been weakened by a large filling might benefit from a dental crown to restore strength. We can also use dental crowns to cover up a damaged or stained tooth, restoring function and form.

Dental bonding can usually repair minor chips, depending on the location of the damage. Before your treatment, Dr. Scott Mahlin performs an oral health exam to determine if dental bonding is the best treatment for you. 

How Dental Bonding Works 

Dr. Mahlin begins treatment by mixing the composite resin material to match the natural shade of your teeth. Your dentist then prepares the tooth's surface, applies a liquid bonding agent, and shapes the resin to the tooth in layers. We cure each layer using ultraviolet light until we perfectly rebuild the tooth. 

Dental bonding can repair and restore the following issues:

  • Chips and breaks
  • Cracks and fractures 
  • Discoloration
  • Gaps and uneven spacing
  • A tooth of irregular shape or size

Professional Teeth Whitening in Chesterfield, MO

Professional teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure—and for good reason! It’s fast and affordable, providing dramatic results in a short amount of time. We can make custom trays for you to use with our at-home whitening treatment. Over a couple of weeks, you’ll wear these trays in the privacy of your own home but with the same outcome as our in-office treatment.

Porcelain Veneers Near Me

Mimicking the same translucency as your natural teeth, porcelain veneers are ultra-thin tooth shields bonded to the fronts of teeth. Veneers can add length to short teeth, camouflage gapped teeth, hide misaligned teeth, and so much more.

Living with missing teeth is about more than aesthetics. Having even one missing tooth can lead to more tooth loss. Missing teeth can also make chewing and speaking more of a challenge.

We offer various tooth replacement options, including:

  • Full and partial dentures – Dentures have been around for a long time, and today’s prosthetic teeth look, function, and fit better than ever.
  • Dental implants in Chesterfield, MO – Generally considered the best in tooth replacement, dental implants replace a missing tooth root. Over a healing period of a few months, they integrate with the bone and create a permanent replacement root. We can restore the implant with a dental crown to replace one missing tooth, or we can attach a dental bridge or even dentures.
