Porcelain Veneers
If you’ve ever seen a smile on TV or in a movie and thought, “How are their teeth that perfect?!” you were probably looking at porcelain veneers. With this treatment, thin ceramic shells are placed over the front of the teeth, and they give a patient the ability to change their smile’s shape, size, and color to whatever they want. It takes just two appointments to get a custom-made set of veneers, but the gorgeous results will easily last for 20 years or more.
Metal Free Dental Restorations
Our team is constantly attending continuing education courses so we can utilize the most advanced materials in dentistry, and chief among them is dental porcelain. It perfectly mimics both the strength and appearance of real enamel, and they enable our team to create restorations that even we can’t distinguish from real teeth. If you have a front tooth in need of repair, you can trust we’ll use porcelain to help it look like new right away.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding lets our team express our artistic side. For patients with minor chips, stains, or gaps, we can apply a color-matched composite resin to their tooth and literally sculpt it to perfection. Any flaw will be quickly masked, and then the material will be hardened into place to give the tooth strength and security. The procedure often takes just an hour or less, but the results can easily last for 10 years or more.
Teeth Whitening
A smile can lose its luster for a number of reasons, including coffee, wine, tobacco, aging, and even unlucky genetics to name a few. However, for patients hoping to get back that youthful glow, professional strength teeth whitening is always available here at Gentling Dental Care. Whether you opt to get our fast in-office treatment or prefer to use a custom-made kit at home, the end result will be the exact same: a set of teeth that is 6-8 shades brighter!
Invisalign
Think you’re too old to straighten your crooked and crowded teeth? Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment designed just for adults. Instead of brackets and wires, a patient just has to wear a series of clear, lightweight plastic trays that can effectively shift the teeth into their ideal positions. No one will notice you’re wearing the trays unless you tell them, and you can even take them off whenever it’s time to eat or brush.
Smile Makeovers
If you could hit the reset button for your smile, would you do it? With a smile makeover, you certainly can! If you’re dealing with stains, chips, cracks, gaps, and multiple damaged teeth, we can put together a treatment plan designed just for you that will get rid of any and all imperfections at the same time. No matter what state your teeth might be in now, we guarantee you’ll be seeing a pristine smile in the mirror before you know it.

Porcelain Veneers - Rochester, MN
Smile Like the Stars
Smile makeovers use porcelain veneers to dramatically improve your smile. Porcelain veneers cover the outside or front surface of teeth. They are strong and natural-looking, and they can change the shape, color, and alignment of your teeth.
Porcelain Veneers Before & After
Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain, which are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They will not stain and require minimal tooth structure to be removed. Veneers are used to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth including the elimination of gaps between teeth, addressing the problems of a “gummy” smile, and providing solutions to short or small teeth. They are often used as an alternative to correcting misaligned teeth with lengthy orthodontic procedures.
Your first step toward cosmetic dentistry enhancement with porcelain dental veneers is to meet with a cosmetic dentist in Rochester, MN to discuss your goals for treatment. Contact Gentling Dental Care today for any questions on porcelain veneers.
Cosmetic Bonding - Rochester, MN
Fix Minor Flaws in an Hour or Less
Cosmetic dental bonding can fix crooked, gapped or badly stained teeth. Tooth bonding is one cosmetic dental procedure that bonds tooth-colored material (composite resin) to the surface of a tooth. Bonding is likely the easiest and least expensive of the many cosmetic dentistry procedures.
The resin used in tooth bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Bonding can also be used to create temporary veneers to see if you like the new look before you decide to undertake a more involved procedure, such as porcelain veneers.
Cosmetic Bonding is used to:
- Reshape teeth
- Fix crooked teeth
- Close unwanted gaps
- Cover (and whiten) badly stained teeth
Unlike porcelain veneers, cosmetic tooth bonding can be done in a single visit. The procedure is called dental bonding because the material literally bonds directly to the tooth.
No preparation is needed for bonding and anesthesia is usually not necessary. The resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth.
The dental bonding resin is not as strong and durable as a natural tooth and can sometimes be chipped. Bonding can last several years before it needs repair.
