Smile Makeover: How it Works

Dr. Lazer will meet with you one-on-one to examine your teeth and discuss the various aspects of your teeth that you dislike (and also what you like). He will then design a dental care plan that includes the treatments you will need to achieve the smile of your dreams.

Your customized plan may include restorative dental procedures if he discovers underlying dental problems. We always administer cosmetic dental procedures on a healthy foundation, otherwise you will not have lasting results. Dr. Lazer offers a full range of cosmetic dentistry treatments.

Cosmetic Dentures

Dr. Lazer will use cosmetic dentures to replace a whole row of teeth. They are made from advanced materials and will look, feel, and function like real teeth. The best way to secure them is with dental implants. Denture implants are more durable and secure than traditional dentures.

Porcelain Veneers

We use porcelain veneers on teeth that are aging, damaged, gapped, discolored, or worn down. These incredible cosmetic restorations can give anyone a Hollywood smile. We permanently bond them to the front and sides of teeth to hide any damage or imperfections.

Tooth Bonding

Dental bonding is a good solution for worn down, broken, stained, misshapen, or gapped teeth. However, it is not a permanent solution. It is very affordable and completed in a single office visit.

The tooth bonding treatment is a procedure we use to improve the appearance of teeth by covering them with an artificial material called resin composite. The procedure covers discolored teeth or improves the shape of teeth in order to correct minor imperfections.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment available. Dr. Lazer offers the Zoom!™ Teeth Whitening system which can significantly whiten your teeth and already beautiful smile in about an hour.

Botox & Dermal Fillers

Dr. Chibb is trained and certified to provide Botox® Cosmetic and other dermal fillers at our Towson, MD area dental office. Who better to trust with facial fillers than a dentist who knows everything about the structure of your face? Dr. Chibb will use a dermal filler to put the finishing touches on your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to some frequently asked questions about cosmetic dental care.

Which lasts longer, Botox or dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers usually last longer than Botox. Botox effects typically last about 3 to 4 months, while dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used. The longevity of both treatments varies based on the individual and the area treated.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Yes, teeth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity. The bleaching agents can make your teeth more sensitive to hot, cold, or air after treatment. The sensitivity usually fades within a few days. We can recommend desensitizing toothpaste to help you manage it.

How old do you have to be for teeth whitening?

Most dentists recommend waiting until you’re at least 16 years old for teeth whitening. Younger teeth are still developing, and whitening treatments can affect their sensitivity. It’s best to schedule an appointment with us to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure.

How long does bonding last on teeth?

Tooth bonding typically lasts between 3 and 10 years. The longevity largely depends on factors like oral hygiene, eating habits, and how well you care for it. Regular dental check-ups and avoiding habits like chewing on hard objects can help extend its life.

What are the most realistic dentures?

Implant-supported dentures and custom-made premium dentures are often considered the most realistic. These options provide a better fit, improved function, and a more natural appearance than standard dentures. Dr. Lazer can recommend the best type based on your specific needs.

How long after getting all teeth pulled can you get dentures?

You can usually get immediate dentures on the same day as your tooth extractions, but these are temporary. For permanent dentures, it typically takes 6 to 8 weeks for your gums to heal fully before fitting. We will guide you on the best timeline based on your healing process.
