Asheville Dental Care offers a wide range of cosmetic services to address any problem areas or changes you desire in your smile, including:

CEREC

This state-of-the-art, computer-aided system makes custom-fitted, porcelain crowns, veneers and inlays in just one visit. (With CEREC, a crown now takes about an hour and a half from start to finish.)  CEREC restorations are healthier, longer lasting and more attractive than traditional alternatives. To find our more about the many, many benefits of CEREC, click here.

Lumineers®

One of the most advanced and least invasive cosmetic procedures, Lumineers® are thin, custom fabricated veneers that fit right over your existing teeth. They can whiten teeth, close spaces, reshape, and visually straighten your teeth-all without grinding away healthy tooth structure. No pain, no temporaries, no sensitivity.

Authentic® and Empress® Porcelain Veneers

In addition to the CEREC veneers, we also offer Authentic® and Empress® brands. Veneers are thin shells cemented to the front of your teeth. They can correct discoloration, chipped teeth, broken teeth or misaligned teeth. In addition to being stain resistant, porcelain veneers look and feel natural and give you a gorgeous smile.

Sapphire™ Professional Whitening

Dr. Powell has found that the Sapphire™ system for whitening produces remarkable results. Fast, safe and effective, it has been clinically proven to whiten up to 12 shades in one hour.

Recontouring

Also called enamelplasty, recontouring gives uneven teeth a more even appearance.

Cosmetic Gum Recontouring

Gum recontouring evens up an uneven gum line for a more pleasing appearance. It can also reshape a gum line that makes teeth appear too long or too short, giving you the exact dimensions you wish. Gum recontouring is done with the Odyssey Diode Laser, so it is done in seconds, is pain free and there is no post-op sensitivity.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Replace unattractive amalgam fillings with beautiful white, tooth-colored fillings.

Bonding

Bonding uses a composite, composite resin or tooth-colored filling material to restore tooth structure or change the size or shape of a tooth. Less expensive, though not as long lasting, as porcelain restorations, bonding can be just the right solution for minor chips and cracks.
