Cosmetic Dentist in Charleston, WV

When you choose Simpson Dental for your cosmetic dental needs, you gain access to some of the most advanced technology in the state. Our commitment to precision and patient comfort sets us apart from other cosmetic dentists in Charleston.

In-House Dental Lab

Our in-house dental lab allows our dentists to monitor your progress at every stage of treatment. Using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we create high-quality, natural-looking dental crowns and other restorations in a single visit. This reduces your treatment time and eliminates the need to wait for an outside lab.

Advanced Dental Technology

From recontouring to Zoom whitening, we are here to help you achieve the look you desire. Drs. Mark and Christen Simpson utilize the most advanced dental technologies to provide results not achievable through traditional methods. Our C.T. scanning creates 3D images of your mouth and supporting structures. We also use piezoelectric technology with ultrasonic waves to cut through bone, as well as CO2 laser therapy to seal nerve endings while making soft tissue incisions. These modern solutions put your comfort and health at the forefront of our care.

In-House Imaging Studio

Our in-house imaging studio helps us analyze your smile and develop a custom plan to give you a beautiful smile at a fraction of the price. Using our Carestream 9300 series C.T. scanner, we create 3D images of your teeth with multiple fields of view. This allows us to design a treatment plan specifically tailored to your dental needs and cosmetic preferences.

Candidacy and Pre-Treatment Evaluation

Not every patient is an ideal candidate for every cosmetic procedure. Before starting any cosmetic treatments, we give your teeth and gums a thorough check-up to ensure they are in optimal shape. Conditions like active gum disease or tooth decay must be addressed first to ensure optimal results and prevent complications. We also evaluate bite patterns, jaw alignment, and facial symmetry to recommend treatments enhancing your natural features.

Digital Smile Preview Technology

Before any treatment begins, our digital imaging system allows you to see potential outcomes on your own face. This preview technology eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re completely satisfied with the planned results. We can adjust proposed changes in real-time during your consultation, allowing you to participate actively in designing your new smile.

Recovery and Healing Timeline

Understanding what to expect after cosmetic procedures helps you plan accordingly. Minor treatments like bonding require no downtime, while veneer placement may involve temporary sensitivity for three to five days. We provide detailed post-treatment instructions, including dietary recommendations and pain management strategies. Most patients return to regular activities immediately, though we may recommend avoiding certain foods or habits temporarily.

Combining Treatments for Maximum Impact

Strategic treatment sequencing can enhance your overall results while minimizing appointment time. For example, completing orthodontic treatment before veneer placement ensures optimal positioning, while professional whitening performed weeks before crown fabrication allows for perfect color matching. We develop treatment timelines maximizing efficiency and aesthetic outcomes.

Age-Specific Cosmetic Considerations

Cosmetic needs evolve throughout different life stages. Younger patients often seek minor corrections like gap closure or whitening, while mature patients may benefit from treatments restoring volume and supporting facial structure. We consider age-related changes in tooth color, gum position, and facial proportions when recommending treatments, ensuring results enhancing your natural beauty at any age.

Maintenance Schedule and Touch-Up Protocols

Each cosmetic treatment requires specific maintenance protocols to preserve your investment. Whitening may need annual touch-ups, bonding could require repairs every five to seven years, and veneers benefit from professional polishing during regular cleanings. We create personalized maintenance schedules and provide advance notice when touch-ups become recommended, helping you budget for ongoing care.

Emergency Cosmetic Care

Accidents happen, and cosmetic dental emergencies require immediate attention to prevent permanent damage. Whether it’s a chipped veneer, loosened crown, or trauma affecting your aesthetic work, we provide same-day emergency appointments to address urgent cosmetic concerns. Our emergency protocols prioritize both function and appearance, ensuring temporary solutions maintain your smile’s beauty while permanent repairs are planned.
