Cosmetic
Enhancing Confidence. Preserving Health.
Cosmetic Dental Care
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile while maintaining strong, healthy teeth. For many patients, small aesthetic changes can make a meaningful difference in confidence, whether at work, in social settings, or in family photos.
At Galligan Family Dentistry, our cosmetic services are intentionally focused and conservative. We prioritize treatments that enhance appearance without compromising long-term oral health.
Our cosmetic services include:
- Professional teeth whitening
- Tooth-colored bonding
- Porcelain veneers
- Invisalign for mild alignment concerns
These services help address concerns like:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Minor chips or small fractures
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven or worn edges
- Mild crowding or spacing issues
- Teeth that appear misshapen or asymmetrical
Our approach to cosmetic dentistry is practical and thoughtful. We offer enhancements that support both aesthetics and structural integrity.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments safely brighten teeth by lifting surface stains and discoloration caused by food, beverages, aging, and lifestyle factors. Compared to over-the-counter products, professional whitening offers more predictable results while protecting enamel and gum health.
Tooth-Colored Bonding
Bonding is a conservative cosmetic treatment used to repair small chips, close minor gaps, or improve the appearance of uneven edges. A tooth-colored resin material is carefully shaped and polished to blend naturally with surrounding teeth, providing a simple and effective aesthetic improvement.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin custom shells placed on the front surface of teeth to improve shape, color, and overall smile symmetry. Veneers are often used when multiple aesthetic concerns exist, such as discoloration, mild misalignment, or worn enamel, and are designed to provide natural-looking, durable results.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to gently shift teeth into improved alignment. At our practice, Invisalign is offered for patients with mild orthodontic concerns and fully erupted adult teeth. This discreet treatment option allows patients to improve spacing or crowding while maintaining a professional appearance throughout treatment.
Cosmetic Care with a Conservative Philosophy
While cosmetic dentistry can enhance appearance, we believe it should never come at the expense of long-term health. Our recommendations are guided by structural integrity, durability, and function first, with aesthetics carefully integrated into the plan.
Galligan Family Dentistry proudly serves Raleigh, Wake Forest, Rolesville, Youngsville, New Light, and surrounding Wake County communities. As a locally owned, family-centered practice, we provide cosmetic enhancements for patients of all ages who want to feel more confident in their smiles.
