7 Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

Everybody loves a great smile. And while you may take care of your teeth as well as you can, sometimes life still gets in the way, causing issues with your usually bright grin. In these cases, there are many cosmetic treatment options you can take advantage of to get the smile you deserve. So, whether it’s whitening your teeth or helping your lips appear fuller, here are 7 of the best cosmetic dentistry treatments you should take advantage of today!

Porcelain Veneers

If your teeth aren’t as white or shapely as you want, porcelain veneers are an incredible option to tackle both issues. In this procedure, we bond thin ceramic shells directly to the front of your teeth. As a result, your teeth will still look like natural teeth, only whiter and much more durable. You’ll love veneers because of their beautiful appearance and resistance to stains. Once bonded, this option can even last for well over a decade!

Dental Bonding

Have chips, cracks, or misshapen teeth? Solve all these issues with dental bonding! This procedure is an alternative to veneers in which resin is molded and shaped to correct the tooth structure. If you only need simple corrections to your teeth, this procedure is the perfect option for you.

Liplase Laser Lip Enhancement

This simple treatment will make your lips appear larger and more youthful. Don’t worry about injections or fillers; this procedure offers incredible results with minimal downtime and discomfort. Results usually last around six months or longer.

Sapphire Whitening

Get the brightest and whitest smile you’ve ever had with this easy treatment! Sapphire whitening is a very safe and standard method to whiten teeth fast. Through the combination of a gel and laser treatment, this operation only takes about 60 minutes to get you the perfect smile.

Smoothlase Laser Facial Rejuvenation

You don’t have to keep your wrinkles with this groundbreaking treatment. The FDA-approved Fotona Lightwalker Laser is used in this procedure to tighten skin and diminish wrinkles. Because we only use a laser, there is no downtime after the procedure and no fillers or injections.

Invisalign

Have a crooked smile but don’t want to wear clunky braces? Then, Invisalign is the perfect option for you! In this treatment, clear removable aligners are used to straighten your teeth without the use of wires continually. The average time for this method to finish is 9-15 months.

Inlays and Onlays

While traditional fillings can reduce the strength of a tooth by up to 50%, Inlays and Onlays can increase the strength of a tooth by up to 75%! Inlays and Onlays are made of gold, porcelain, or resin and are used to repair teeth that damage more than half of the tooth’s biting surface.

Are you interested in taking back your smile? See which one of these cosmetic treatments is right for you by calling us at Grimes Dentistry today! Our professionals have years of experience in these groundbreaking methods to deliver the highest quality results.

Well, after what seems like a zillion appointments here since my first appointment in September, I finally got to meet the Amazing Alma this week! She was not only super competent at plugging in my yet two more crowns, but she was so very nice in talking to me about what to prioritize for my next (never-ending) visit(s). Alma has been practicing her job for 31 years at Grimes and it really shows, she is TRULY wonderful! And last week I got to meet with (yet again) the Sensational Cinnamon, whose magic she has performed in the past months on my teeth is unbelievable--my teeth look and feel so much better! Then getting the (yet more) temporary crowns were a breeze last week with the lovely and delightful Hope, who is always such a joy to see!!! Of course, the office staff is equally awesome, and it was good to see Cynthia and Lluvia (aka "Julia") who are always so kind, helpful and terrific. Looking forward to seeing you all in May!!! For the first time in my 60-something year life, I can actually say that I am looking forward to going to the dentist!!! Thanks everyone at Grimes Dentistry!! Thanks Dr. Grimes, for being so great and having such an absolutely wonderful dental practice!!!

I am a 60-something year old with dental anxiety my whole life, intermixed with periods of dental phobia (where you avoid going to dentists because you just can't deal with it). After spending Friday Sept 12, 2022 in urgent care with tooth pain, I got home about 3:30, reflected on a talk about 10 years ago that I had with my youngest sister about my dental issues. I asked her "How do you know if you need a root canal?" She said, "Trust me, there will be no options, you WILL go to a dentist!". She was right. So, I dug out my "2020-2021 Dental File" and found the Grimes Dentistry "Card" I got in snail mail over a year ago. I knew ways back when I received the card in the mail that they would be my next dentist because the "Card" said they do basically everything (root canals, crowns, gum disease therapy, etc.) and I needed a LOT!. That Card was the sole occupant in my file, except my updated insurance information that began in Sept. 2020. I took a few deep breaths and called, and Cynthia was so darn nice, convinced me to come in Monday (and she was far better than any anti-anxiety medication could ever be!). So, I showed up Monday morning, and met with Hope (who gave me "hope" that this would be a great dentist office), Then I had all kinds of stuff done, root canal and 2 crowns (one to replace a "bad one") and the lovely Lauren (who thankfully escaped from prison) was Dr. G's right-hand assistant. Then on the 20th and 21st I (actually) came back to meet Cinnamon (the spice of life) for my long-overdue cleaning and gum issues. Well, Cinnamon is clearly the best tooth picker west of the Mississippi (and such a delightful person)!!!! Then I (actually) came back for some other not so lovely stuff on Oct 6 (but it was OK!!). Ah, tomorrow I am scheduled to get three crowns. Well, not the crowns, but getting the three teeth "sawed off" so I can get the crowns. Can't say I am looking forward to it, but I WILL show up!!! Dr. Grimes and his assistants and staff are ALL so great. They are not only saving my teeth (the best that anyone can at this point), but they are saving my life!!!! My only regret is that I did not find Grimes Dentistry several decades ago. I have recommended them to about 6 people in last 3 weeks, several of which I learned have dental anxiety themselves!!! (I also spotted Dr. G watering the flowers and plants in the waiting room as I was checking out at 5pm on a Friday. He truly cares about his practice, his staff, and his patients). A+++

I had a root canal done with Dr. Grimes and I always heard root canals were very painful! With Dr. Grimes there was no pain during or after my appointment. I was able to drive myself home and go to work the next day. I have not had any issues with that toot since. I would recommend Dr. Grimes to anyone having dental issues.

New to the area and my very first dental visit in Lubbock. What an amazing team and program. Kristen was my dental hygienist--experienced, professional, compassionate, patient and informative--at every step of what ended up being a couple hour session. Dr Grimes was approachable, easy to talk to, clearly an expert and made me feel welcome as a new and somewhat anxious patient. I cant recommend this practice highly enough and feel so lucky to have made Grimes Dental my first choice in Lubbock.
