Cosmetic Dentistry

Because Health and Beauty Go Hand-in-Hand

What’s the first thing you notice about people? Most folks believe that the first thing they notice is a person’s eyes, but the truth is, about 48% of all people notice smiles first. What’s more, a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry showed that an attractive smile was the first thing to make a positive impression on those surveyed – over clothing and even the way someone smells!

Here’s the thing: when you smile a full and confident smile, you seem friendlier, more trustworthy, and much more approachable. A smile is one of our most powerful, non-verbal cues. So if you are embarrassed by your smile or hiding it because it is damaged, stained, or full of old and failing restorations, you simply aren’t living up to your fullest, most joyful potential.

Our cosmetic dental services can get you smiling for all you’re worth with:

  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Full Mouth Restorations
  • Crown Lengthening
  • Gum Contouring
  • Cosmetic Bonding
  • Tooth Recontouring
  • KöR Deep Smile Whitening

Smiling Helps You Feel Healthier

Smiling has been proven in study after study to lower your stress levels by releasing endorphins. Along with lowered stress comes a lowered heart rate and temporarily lowered blood pressure. Smiling also acts as a great pain killer and it boosts your immune system. It’s no wonder that people who smile more live longer – up to seven years longer!

Healthy Smile – Healthy Body

Your smile is directly connected to the rest of your body. That means that if your mouth isn’t healthy, it can affect your overall health as well. It’s why all of our dentistry – including most of our cosmetic procedures – are designed to get your mouth as healthy and balanced as possible so your body can be that way too.

Get glowing with our wide variety of precision, cosmetic-dental treatments. Call to schedule a consultation today!

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain dental veneers are one of our premier cosmetic dental services. Why? They can do anything from correcting one or two unattractive or broken teeth to transforming your entire smile! They really are an amazing option to restore, rejuvenate, and perfect even the most deeply stained, badly broken, or misshapen teeth, quickly and with very little discomfort.

Porcelain veneers can:

  • Lengthen short teeth
  • Correct irregularities
  • Close gaps and spaces between teeth
  • Straighten minor crookedness
  • Repair cracks and breaks
  • Cover intrinsic stains
  • and more!

Made of durable cosmetic porcelain, dental veneers are custom shaded to fit your smile preferences – go as brilliant or as natural as you want– and created in one of our world-class labs. The treatment can be completed in as little as three visits, which include the initial consultation and diagnosis, impressions, and placement. At the time of placement, your teeth will be gently prepped and your beautiful veneers placed. You will leave our office with the amazing smile you always wished you had!

Full-Mouth Restoration

Full-mouth restorations are exactly what they sound like – a way to address and resolve all the problems that have been troubling your smile. Not just one treatment, a full-mouth restoration is usually a personalized, customized combination of treatments that will not only help you look better, but get you feeling better than ever too! It is the perfect balance of function and beauty. Depending on your needs, full mouth restorations employ methods and procedures from all areas of dentistry including:

  • Crowns and veneers to repair worn, broken teeth
  • Tooth-colored fillings or porcelain restorations to replace old and failing restorations or repair new cavities and decay
  • Crown lengthening and gum contouring to give you a bigger, brighter smile
  • Tooth contouring to even and smooth jagged tooth edges
  • Dental implants to replace missing teeth or old bridge-work
  • TMJ dentistry to align and balance your bite, protecting your teeth from further wear, and stopping potential headaches
  • Periodontal care to give your teeth a healthy foundation
  • And KöR Deep Bleaching to give you the long-lasting, white smile of your dreams

Whatever you need, we will look at you – your mouth, body, and personality – as a whole while we repair damage, restore your smile, and balance your bite.

Crown Lengthening

Everyone wants a bright and healthy smile. But some people worry that they might have to have their teeth pulled instead of repaired because they are broken or damaged. Don’t worry, call your Littleton smile team at Victor H. Burdick, Jr. DDS. We can help get almost any smile back to strength, health, and beauty. In fact, failing smiles are our specialty! If you need a restoration or repair but your tooth is too short or even broken off below the gum line, crown lengthening can save your natural tooth and give you the beautiful smile you want. With crown lengthening, we gently sculpt away gum tissue covering the enamel you need for the attachment of veneers, crowns, or bridges. Crown lengthening can also be used to lengthen and brighten your smile all on its own. How? When too much gum tissue covers your teeth, they just can’t shine to their full advantage. Crown lengthening simply removes excess tissue to reveal the brilliant smile that was hiding there all along!

Gum Recontouring

Are you tired of hiding your smile because it looks less than bright and friendly? Do you wish you felt better about your smile but your teeth look uneven and dull? Maybe it isn’t your teeth that are uneven at all! What if we told you that sometimes, due to heredity, medications, less than ideal hygiene, or even braces, your gums are enlarged or uneven and covering up too much of your beautiful enamel? We can help with an easy procedure called gum recontouring. Similar to crown lengthening, gum recontouring involves the artful reshaping of your gums to even and perfect your smile. Dr. Burdick simply sculpts away any excess or unnecessary gum tissue to reveal the beauty of your smile. Most of our patients report that their gum contouring procedure was completely comfortable and painless with the soothing combination of Novocaine numbing and NuCalm® relaxation. To learn more about the benefits of gum recontouring, give our office a call today!

Cosmetic Bonding

Cracks. Chips. Dents. No, we aren’t talking about parking-lot bumps and scratches on your car, we’re talking about your teeth. We understand that even minor imperfections can take the zip out of your smile… but they may seem too minor to warrant more extensive cosmetic dentistry like crowns or veneers. We want to help put that zip right back in your smile with the ease and affordability of cosmetic dental bonding. It’s so convenient and can be completed in one, short visit – no need for impressions or waiting for your restorations to return from the lab. In addition, dental bonding is more conservative than porcelain veneers or crowns because the tooth does not need as much preparation before application. Instead, Dr. Burdick will custom-shade the tooth-colored dental composite right here in our Littleton office, apply the material directly to your tooth, and sculpt it to perfection. Finally, your tooth will be buffed and polished to glowing perfection. Just remember that composite bonding is not as long-lasting or as stain-resistant as porcelain restorations, so care for them accordingly.

Tooth Recontouring

Are you tired of a rough or chipped tooth irritating your tongue? Are your canines a bit too long and you’re sick of the vampire jokes? Or is your smile line a little uneven and making it hard to bite or chew? Tooth recontouring offers a simple and comfortable way to smooth chips, cracks, and irregularities and get your smile looking even and perfect again. Tooth shaping takes an artist’s eye and an even hand, and Dr. Burdick has that in spades! Over three decades of working in cosmetic dentistry have given him the perfectly steady hand necessary to reshape any smile to perfection. Tooth shaping and contouring can:

  • Be combined with KöR Deep Bleaching and dental bonding for a fast and affordable smile makeover
  • Improve your bite to stop headaches and jaw pain
  • Buff away rough spots that irritate sensitive oral tissues
  • Take less time than other cosmetic options such as dental veneers

Smile Whitening

Have you tried to whitening your smile with everything from over-the-counter dental strips to expensive, but not-very-effective in-office whitening?

Are you tired of going through the sensitivity and pain of dental whitening procedures only to have to whiten again and again because you love coffee and red wine?
