Cosmetic Dentistry Wilmington
Creating Eye-Catching Smiles
Cosmetic dentistry is not a new phenomenon. Early civilizations used seashells to replace missing teeth as well as pumice stone and vinegar to remove tooth stains. Fortunately, there have been many advancements in the field; however, the goal remains the same – to create an eye-catching smile. Thanks to dental technology and modern techniques, we can remove imperfections using custom veneers, professional teeth whitening, gum recontouring, and more. If you’re ready to finally feel good about the way your smile looks in the mirror, call us to schedule a consultation for cosmetic dentistry in Wilmington.

Veneers & Lumineers
Dental veneers are thin sheaths of ceramic or porcelain that hide flaws commonly found on regular tooth enamel. Concealing the front-facing surfaces of teeth, veneers can be crafted to the specifications provided by Dr. Lundgren. Their size, shape, and color can be customized to deliver a transformed appearance once they are bonded into place.
Their placement requires the removal of a small bit of tooth enamel, making them a semi-permanent cosmetic dentistry solution that can last 10-15 years on average.
Lumineers are similar to traditional veneers; however, they are much thinner and do not require that treated teeth be altered. They can cover many of the same imperfections as veneers (i.e., chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, small gaps, misshapen teeth, etc.) as well. As a reversible form of treatment, patients can choose to have them removed at any time, revealing their original smile.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
When a small imperfection, like a stain or small chip, is the problem, cosmetic dental bonding can be the answer. Dr. Lundgren can use composite resin to hide the flaw by applying the color-matched solution directly onto the enamel. Sculpting it in place using specialized dental instruments, a curing light hardens the resin so that it can be polished for a natural-looking shine. In just one appointment, patients can enjoy fast, beautiful, and blended results.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is fast and effective at eliminating intrinsic, extrinsic, and age-related tooth stains. Our Zoom! In-office whitening treatment can brighten teeth by several shades in a single hour, while our Opalescence Go take-home kits make it easy for patients to whiten their teeth on their own time and see noticeable results in just two weeks. Dr. Lundgren’s expertise and oversight ensure a safer, more comfortable experience than any store-bought product or corporate dental office can provide.
Gum Recontouring/ Crown Lengthening
A “gummy smile” or having short teeth can cause embarrassment when forced to smile around others. With the help of gum recontouring, though, we can remove excess tissue from around a patient’s teeth, revealing an even, more balanced gumline. We can also offer crown lengthening for individuals who need a custom restoration (i.e., dental crown) to protect a damaged tooth but do not have enough available tooth structure to support it.
Smile Makeovers
Our smile makeovers make it possible for patients with multiple imperfections to experience life with a truly transformed appearance. With a customized treatment plan, we can target problem areas using two or more cosmetic dental services that conceal and repair smiles so that they are healthier and more aesthetically pleasing going forward. We also use virtual smile design during the planning process, which is a unique system that shows patients what their new teeth and gums will look like after undergoing treatment.
