For example, our dentists can use cosmetic dentistry to improve the total look of teeth, your smile and bite. Our dentists will work with you in order to provide you with an attractive smile that will last for years.
- Cosmetic Dentures: Cosmetic dentures are custom-made dental prosthetics that replace missing teeth and help restore your natural facial structure. We create our cosmetic dentures with great attention to detail to make sure you get a comfortable fit and a natural look every time. They consist of high-quality materials that will closely resemble the color and texture of your real teeth. We give our patients the confidence to smile, speak, and eat with ease using cosmetic dentures.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are an effective cosmetic dental option for our patients with gaps between their teeth and chipped teeth. We craft these thin, custom-made shells from high-quality dental porcelain. The porcelain acts like real tooth enamel and shines like it too. They can cover any imperfections including cracks and deep stains. Additionally, veneers can improve the overall alignment and color of your teeth to deliver a comprehensive smile transformation in just two visits.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening treatments at our dental office involve using bleaching agents that our dentists carefully apply to your teeth to remove stains. We have access to advanced whitening technologies, such as laser or light-activated systems, which can enhance the results of each treatment. Unlike over-the-counter products, personalized dentist-administered whitening treatments ensure optimal safety and efficiency. Our dental professionals are also able to professionally monitor the whitening process, and provide personalized advice on how to maintain the brightness. With our expertise and state-of-the-art tools, we can help you achieve a noticeably whiter smile that boosts your confidence and overall smile aesthetic.

General Dentistry is a broad term that encompasses many different areas of practice. Our dentists put a focus on preventing and treating diseases in the mouth, teeth, gums, and jawbones. General dentists typically perform routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals and extractions. They may also diagnose oral pain or infections that require more advanced treatment by a specialist like a periodontist or orthodontist.
- Dental Cleanings: Probably one of the most important things you can do for your teeth is get a professional dental cleaning. Our dental cleanings include a thorough brushing, plaque removal, visual check for oral cancer, and gentile flossing. A dental cleaning twice a year can keep you from needing more aggressive treatments down the road.
- Dental Fillings: Your dentists in Baltimore are specialists when it comes to cosmetic dental services. So providing dental fillings is a simple and standard procedure at our dental practice. Dental fillings are perfect for addressing minor to moderate tooth cavity issues. We provide white fillings so that your teeth will not stick out when making conversation.
- Root Canals: Did you know that a root canal procedure is not a painful process? Root canal treatments will save your tooth from extraction and support your overall dental health. You may need a root canal if you have excruciating tooth pain that you can’t manage anymore. If you have consistent bad breath and a rotten tooth, it may be time to address it with a root canal.
- Mouthguards: We create custom mouthguards for those athletes that really care about their teeth and protecting their smile.

Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that deals with the restoration of teeth. Our dentists can use restorative services to repair the effects of tooth decay and trauma. He can also fix broken or damaged teeth due to an accident. The procedures are usually more extensive than other general services, like tooth whitening or filling cavities.
- Dental Implants: We provide full-service dental implant treatments at Cosmetic & Advanced Dentistry. As a periodontist, Dr. Doroshenko specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and the placement of dental implants.

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved chewing power, better speech, and a natural-looking smile. With the expert care of our periodontist, we can provide you with a reliable option for restoring your missing teeth.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gums that may compromise the health and function of the teeth, the surrounding bone structure, and gum tissue. Gum disease is caused by bacteria in plaque that reach the gum line. Patients with gum disease may experience symptoms like bleeding gums, halitosis, gum irritation, and shifting teeth. In advanced cases of gum disease, patients may experience tooth loss. With treatments from our periodontist, we can help you manage this disease before it becomes untreatable.
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns restore a tooth’s shape, size, and strength after our dentists repair severe decay or damage on a tooth. They also offer some beauty benefits to the affected tooth because they consist of porcelain. Porcelain is a very realistic material that perfectly imitates real tooth enamel. Additionally, we can use crowns to cover a dental implant or hold a dental bridge in place. CEREC dental technology has revolutionized the way our patients receive dental crowns at our dental practice. You can receive a dental crown in just one visit to our Baltimore dental office.
- Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a popular restorative option at our practice to replace missing teeth. They enhance the look of your smile, help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, and prevent more tooth loss from occurring. A modern dental crown can also help you speak and chew properly if you have these issues while missing some teeth. Dental bridges can consist of porcelain fused to metal, full ceramic, or metal alloys. Our dental bridges are an effective treatment for restoring your missing teeth, and helping you regain your faith in your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I combine multiple cosmetic treatments in a smile makeover?
You can combine a smile makeover with multiple cosmetic treatments to achieve your ideal smile. Dr. Lazerr can customize veneers, bonding, whitening, orthodontics, and gum contouring into one plan. Combining treatments allows for a balanced, natural look while addressing multiple concerns at once. We’ll carefully plan your makeover to ensure each procedure complements the others for the best results.
How long do dental veneers typically last before needing replacement?
Veneers usually last 10-15 years with proper care before needing replacement. The durability depends on your oral habits, like avoiding biting hard objects and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth. Composite resin veneers have a shorter lifespan of about 5-7 years. Regular dental checkups help monitor your veneers’ condition and extend their lifespan.
How does a CEREC dental crown compare to a traditional dental crown?
A CEREC crown is made in a single visit using digital impressions and in-office milling, while a traditional crown requires multiple visits and a temporary crown. CEREC crowns are made from strong ceramic and blend naturally with teeth, though traditional crowns may offer more material options, like porcelain-fused-to-metal. Both options are durable, but CEREC provides the convenience of same-day treatment. We’ll determine which type best suits your needs.
Does professional teeth whitening work better than at-home kits?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is more effective than at-home kits. In-office treatments use stronger whitening agents that produce faster and more noticeable results. These results are often lightening teeth several shades in one visit. At-home kits take longer and may not remove deep stains as effectively.
Professional whitening is also safer since it’s done under supervision, reducing the risk of gum irritation or uneven results. If you want a brighter smile quickly and safely, professional whitening is the better choice.
How often should I get a professional dental cleaning?
Most people should get a professional cleaning every six months to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease. If you have a history of gum disease or other dental concerns, more frequent cleanings—every 3 to 4 months—may be recommended. Regular cleanings help catch potential issues early and keep your teeth and gums healthy. We’ll customize your cleaning schedule to fit your oral health needs.
What signs indicate I need a root canal instead of a simple filling?
If you have persistent tooth pain, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the gums, you might need a root canal. Other signs include darkening of the tooth, deep decay, or a pimple-like bump on the gums. A simple filling is enough for minor cavities, but a root canal is necessary to save the tooth when decay reaches the tooth. We’ll let X-rays and examine the tooth to determine the best treatment.
