A Beautiful Smile Is a Healthy Smile
Having a lovely smile is a huge sign of good oral health. That’s why cosmetic dentistry may be beneficial if you struggle with minor to moderate dental issues that also impact your teeth’s look. At Family Implant & Reconstructive Dentistry, our Havre de Grace, MD dentist, Dr. Richard Grubb has the necessary experience to boost your smile and help you make a good first impression. Read about our cosmetic procedures and how you can enjoy the benefits of beautiful teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry: It’s More Than Just Looks
Our cosmetic dentistry procedures focus on addressing dental issues that negatively affect your teeth’s appearance. Dr. Grubb offers a variety of treatments that can fix common problems such as misaligned, cracked, discolored, and damaged teeth. On top of boosting the look of your smile, cosmetic procedures can also enhance its overall functionality.
Our Cosmetic Procedures
Porcelain Veneers & Lumineers
Your smile is the first thing people notice about you. If you struggle with cosmetic issues, Dr. Grubb can use porcelain veneers to cover them up. These thin shells are placed on top of your teeth to eliminate various dental problems. We use the number one patient-requested brand of veneers: Lumineers®. They’re crafted from a durable, tooth-colored ceramic material called Cerinate®. The result is a picture-perfect smile that’s ready to be shown off.
Teeth Whitening
Have you noticed your smile is duller or less bright? It’s normal for your smile to lose its pearly-white shine over time. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening can help brighten your smile instantly to shave years off your look. Dr. Grubb uses a concentrated gel that can break down stains below your enamel that over-the-counter kits simply can’t do. The results are beautiful teeth that renew both your confidence and oral health.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a cavity, it’s crucial to get treatment before it’s too late. At Family Implant & Reconstructive Dentistry, we use tooth-colored fillings that match your natural smile to restore decayed teeth. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings don’t have any mercury or carry any unnecessary risks. On top of stopping cavities in their tracks, the resin used to restore your teeth is safe, long-lasting, and designed to beautifully match your smile.
Candidacy for Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dental procedures are designed to be simple and straightforward. A majority of patients are candidates based on the fact that they want to improve the appearance and beauty of their teeth. During your initial consultation, Dr. Grubb will look at your oral health and previous medical history to determine which treatment is right for you.

Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?
Most cosmetic procedures are painless since your dentist will apply a local anesthetic beforehand. This will ensure you’ll stay comfortable and free from any pain while they work on your smile. Since most cosmetic services are non-invasive, chances are you won’t even need any form of anesthesia unless you have sensitive teeth.
How can my smile benefit from a cosmetic procedure?
Cosmetic dentistry can fix a variety of minor to moderate imperfections, including cracked, misaligned, and misshapen teeth. During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine which procedures are best for you. On top of that, these treatments are affordable, minimally invasive, and highly effective.
Can I replace my missing teeth with cosmetic dentistry?
Patients with missing teeth would benefit more from restorative procedures including dental implants to complete their smile. Since cosmetic dentistry addresses minor to moderate dental imperfections, severe issues that negatively affect your oral health can only be addressed with more comprehensive dental care.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most insurance companies don’t cover the cost of cosmetic procedures unless they’re considered to be medically necessary. However, it’s recommended that you reach out to your provider to get an accurate understanding of your coverage and benefits. Our dental team can also discuss our financing options to make your treatment affordable.
