Cosmetic Dentistry

At Albee Family Dental, we understand the importance of a beautiful smile. That’s why we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services, including veneers, bonding, and teeth whitening. Don’t let dental imperfections hold you back from showing off your smile; contact us to explore our cosmetic dentistry options and transform your smile.

Metal-Free Crowns & Veneers

Porcelain is changing people’s smiles the whole world over! A cosmetic dentistry treatment, a porcelain restoration is a thin, tooth-shaped shell made of porcelain that our dentist bonds to the front surface of the tooth. Created to be esthetically-pleasing and flawless, porcelain can correct:

  • Large gaps between the teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Stains and discolorations on the teeth
  • Teeth that are uneven, crooked, or misshapen

Custom porcelain restorations usually require two appointments at Albee Family Dental in Rochester. Rest assured, you will leave our office with a beautiful set of temporary teeth as our lab makes your new smile. 

As you age, your teeth may wear from many causes but they’ll also become more vulnerable to stains from food and drinks. A well-constructed restoration will match your existing teeth both in shape and color, leaving you with a smile that’s both esthetically and functionally improved.

Bonding

We apply a special, cutting edge, tooth-colored resin, hardened by light, for tooth bonding or dental bonding. This bonds the resin to the tooth either to restore it or to improve the appearance of the tooth. Created to be esthetically-pleasing and flawless, bonding can:

  • Repair teeth that are decaying
  • Repair teeth that have chipped or cracked
  • Help to improve the look of a discolored tooth
  • Fill in spaces between teeth
  • Change the size or shape of teeth

Bonding is a fairly simple process that doesn’t need a lot of preparation. Unless you have a decaying tooth, you are likely to not need anesthesia. Dr. Albee will use a shade guide to select a color resin that will be used to match your existing teeth. Then Dr. Albee will roughen the surface of the tooth and add a conditioning liquid. This will help the bonding resin to adhere to the tooth. The putty-like resin that is the color of your tooth is then applied and shaped to the proper contours. She will use a LED light to harden the resin. After it is hardened, we will polish it so your new tooth blends with the rest of your smile. 

Teeth Whitening

Have coffee or soda taken a toll, causing your teeth to gradually become stained over the years? Then Albee Family Dental’s teeth whitening can restore brilliant luster to your smile so you’ll impress everyone you see!

One option is our custom trays. These comfortable, thin, flexible trays are made in our lab to fit only you! Along with the trays, you receive the whitening gel in small syringes. These syringes dispense the gel into the trays and you wear them up to 30 minutes per day. Most patients see a dramatic change in 1-3 days but the treatment can take 1-2 weeks. The best part? These trays can last for years so touch-ups can be accomplished by just purchasing more gel syringes.

Another option is Opalescence Go. Our disposable, whitening gel trays are pre-filled with whitening solution so you can whiten anywhere! Simply place the tray in your mouth, adapt them to fit your teeth, wait 30 minutes and then throw them away. A treatment kit includes 10 trays for your upper teeth and 10 trays for your lower teeth.
