f you're considering significant changes to your smile's appearance, Dr. Raymond may recommend a Digitally Designed Smile (DDS). This state-of-the-art software allows you and Dr. Raymond to design and create the beautiful smile you've always wanted.
You'll be able to see and experience your results before your treatment even begins!
How We Can Transform Your Smile
Using leading-edge DDS software, Dr. Raymond can project 3-D images of your teeth onto a screen, where she'll analyze your teeth's size and shape, skin tone, facial features, and tooth shade to design your perfect smile. This process allows her to determine the best treatment procedures to achieve your smile goals.
When the design process is complete, DDS allows us to print a 3-D prototype of your new smile that you can actually wear and experience so you can ensure we're truly achieving your dream results. It's like a tooth "test drive" to ensure you're delighted and excited about your new smile!
Achieving Your Best Smile
DDS guides and informs the treatment process and helps Dr. Raymond make the best procedure recommendations for your smile. Some of the cosmetic dental procedures she may suggest are:
- Professional teeth whitening: Thurmont Family Dentistry offers in-office and take-home professional strength teeth bleaching.
- Porcelain crowns and veneers: Dental crowns and veneers cover cosmetic imperfections and restore compromised teeth.
- Dental implants and all-on-x: We can replace missing teeth, even an entire arch, with tooth implants and all-on-x treatment, which supports a full or partial denture.
- Composite bonding and fillings: We can repair and restore minor cosmetic concerns with durable and aesthetic composite resin.
- BioClear: A conservative and innovative technique Dr. Raymond uses to restore troubled teeth with composite resin, often eliminating the need for crowns or veneers.
- Injection molded veneers: A conservative procedure for applying composite veneers without removing or compromising tooth enamel.
Your treatment plan may combine multiple procedures to achieve your best smile, and we can often break treatment into phases that make it more convenient for your schedule and budget.
What's the Difference Between Porcelain and Injection-Molded Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain customized to cover your tooth's front surface, eliminating cosmetic concerns.
Injection molded veneers use composite resin added to your tooth using a non-invasive process with a custom silicone mold of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers require our dentists to remove tooth enamel to achieve a flush and seamless fit with your tooth. In contrast, composite veneers are added to your tooth, preserving its natural integrity and structure.
