Have the Beautiful Smile You Truly Want

Not everyone is fortunate enough to be born with a beautiful smile. For many people, badly shaped or misaligned teeth, unsightly stains, chips, cracks, and gaps are reason not to smile. Cosmetic dentistry is intended to help these people look great and feel wonderful about their smiles. Using a variety of cosmetic dentistry techniques – including porcelain veneers, crowns, and bonding – Dr. Taneyhill can easily and effectively repair these flaws, giving his patients the beautiful smiles that nature didn’t.

For the past 15 years, Dr. James Taneyhill has had an interest in esthetic dentistry, particularly in linking optimum dental esthetics with optimum function and health. He has taken a wealth of continuing education courses from some of the nation’s most prestigious institutes teaching dental esthetics in order to become a better dentist and ensure that all of his cosmetic dentistry is built on a framework of healthy bones, teeth, and gums.

Dr. Taneyhill performs a full spectrum of cosmetic dentistry procedures, and would be happy to discuss your goals and suggest the procedures that might be right for you.

Smile Design

Would you like a smile custom-designed to suit your face and teeth? Dr. Taneyhill can create a new smile to complement and bring out the natural beauty of your facial features, often in just a couple of visits. Your new look starts with a smile consultation to discuss your desires, show you the possibilities, and determine which cosmetic dentistry procedures are right for you. Then, at your next visit, Dr. Taneyhill performs the porcelain veneer work, dental bonding, teeth whitening, or other chosen procedures to perfect your smile, and that’s it! You walk out looking and feeling fantastic. To learn more about smile design at our Bel Air practice, contact us today.

Teeth Whitening

Our practice is proud to offer the superior Zoom!™ in-office teeth whitening system to our Bel Air patients. The Zoom!™ system whitens teeth stained by years of coffee, tea, tobacco and other substances by up to eight shades in one quick office visit. First, the Zoom!™ Whitening Gel is applied to your teeth. Next, the bleaching agents in the gel are activated with the patented Zoom!™ Whitening Lamp. Finally, your procedure is finished with a five minute fluoride treatment and you’re done—noticeably whiter teeth in just one hour. For more information about Zoom!™ in-office whitening, or about our Nite White take-home whitening option, contact our practice today.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are one of the simplest and most beautiful ways to makeover a smile marred by chips, cracks, gapping, or badly shaped and aligned teeth. Veneers are made of thin sheets of porcelain that are custom-shaped and bonded permanently to the front of teeth. They can be used to repair the appearance of a single flawed tooth or to makeover an entire smile. It’s really up to you. These restorations are strong, and they flawlessly mimic the appearance and translucence of natural tooth enamel. To find out how easily veneers can give you a perfect smile, contact us today.

Porcelain Crowns

Patients looking to combine function with esthetics in their crown restorations should look no further than porcelain crowns. A proven dental material, porcelain provides the structural support your tooth needs while maintaining esthetic appeal. A porcelain crown will completely cover your damaged or flawed tooth, ensuring its strength, integrity, and beauty. Porcelain crowns can also be placed on more than one tooth to bring better overall symmetry and appeal to your smile. If you would like more information about porcelain crowns, please contact our practice today.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Strong, long lasting, natural looking—tooth-colored fillings have now become the dentist’s technique of choice for repairing cavities and decay. Tooth-colored fillings deliver the benefits of old, metal amalgam fillings, without the unsightly appearance. These fillings are made of composite resins, plastics, and porcelain that are molded into the cavity during your dental appointment and then cured, or hardened, in place with a bright light. To learn more about tooth-colored fillings, or about replacing your metal amalgam fillings, contact our practice today.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an excellent way to repair minor discoloration, chips, gaps, or other flaws in your teeth. Similar in process to tooth-colored fillings, bonding involves applying a composite resin to the flawed area of the tooth and then bonding it permanently in place with a high-intensity light. Dental bonding can be accomplished in a single visit and may last many years with proper care. To learn more about bonding, contact our dental practice today.
