At JBH Dental, our dentist and team offer cosmetic dentistry in Louisville, Kentucky, designed to address concerns related to discoloration, minor misalignment, gaps, irregular shape or size, and visible damage.
Using advanced diagnostic tools and modern techniques, we evaluate the condition of each patient’s teeth and customize a plan that aligns with their aesthetic goals. All cosmetic consultations begin with a comprehensive oral health assessment to ensure any functional or restorative needs are addressed first.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
The purpose of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance dental appearance without compromising health. Treatment options may vary based on the patient’s enamel condition, bite alignment and existing dental work. Our approach emphasizes materials that mimic natural tooth color, shape and translucency. Benefits include:
- Improved tooth color, shape and alignment
- Restoration of balance and symmetry to the smile
- Minimal impact on surrounding teeth and structures
- Durable results with proper maintenance
- Enhanced integration with restorative treatments when needed
Our dentist and team use digital imaging and intraoral scanners to plan procedures with precision. This allows for more predictable outcomes and streamlined treatment timelines.
Patient Experience and Technology
Dr. James Howell integrates imaging software and chairside visualization tools to help patients understand possible outcomes. These tools support clear communication and informed decision-making during cosmetic consultations.
Cosmetic procedures are performed in a clinical setting designed for comfort and efficiency. Our dentist may coordinate care with other specialists when needed to ensure that each aspect of the smile – from gumline to enamel – is evaluated and addressed with appropriate expertise.
While cosmetic dentistry is primarily elective, certain procedures may offer restorative value when correcting chipped enamel or rebalancing the bite. In those cases, we assess both aesthetic and structural considerations to ensure long-term success.
