At Artistic Family Dentistry of Silver Spring, we understand that a crooked or gapped smile can be more than just an aesthetic concern. It can affect your self-confidence, the way you interact in social settings, and even your oral health. That’s why we offer a range of solutions tailored to address these issues effectively. Our experienced team is committed to transforming smiles with a combination of art and science, ensuring every patient walks out with the smile they’ve always desired.

Cosmetic Dental Solutions

We design our cosmetic dentistry services to enhance the aesthetics of your mouth, teeth, and gums while improving function. Here’s how we can help:

Orthodontics

Straightening your teeth not only enhances your smile but also contributes to better bite alignment and long-term oral health. We offer a range of orthodontic solutions to fit your lifestyle and goals:

  • Traditional Braces: Modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before. They use advanced materials and low-profile brackets to gently and efficiently move your teeth into their ideal positions. Braces remain one of the most reliable and effective options for correcting moderate to severe misalignment, spacing, and bite issues.
  • Invisalign® Clear Aligners: Invisalign® treatment uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Nearly invisible when worn, Invisalign® aligners are comfortable, convenient, and easy to remove for eating and cleaning—making them a preferred choice for adults and teens seeking a discreet alternative to braces.
  • CandidPro® Orthodontics: For patients looking for a flexible, hybrid approach to straightening teeth, CandidPro® combines the convenience of remote monitoring with the confidence of in-office dental supervision. Using clear aligners similar to Invisalign®, CandidPro® allows your dentist to track your progress through virtual check-ins, reducing the number of in-person visits while maintaining excellent results.

Each treatment option is carefully considered and personalized to meet your unique needs. Our goal is to create a beautiful, functional smile that reflects your personality, enhances your confidence, and promotes long-term oral health.

Restorative Dentistry Options

We understand that a crooked or gapped smile can sometimes be more than just a cosmetic issue. It can also indicate a need for restorative care. Here’s how we can help:

  • Bridges, Inlays, and Onlays: Ideal for replacing missing teeth or restoring damaged teeth, these solutions can effectively close gaps and improve alignment. Our inlays and onlays are custom-made to fit perfectly, preserving your natural tooth structure and improving your overall smile.
  • Dental Implants: Dental implants offer a durable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They not only fill the gaps but also prevent bone loss and maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth.
  • Full Mouth Restoration: We may recommend a full mouth restoration in cases of extensive dental issues. This comprehensive approach addresses functional and aesthetic concerns, including misalignments and gaps.

Each treatment is carefully planned and executed to ensure the best outcomes for oral health and smile aesthetics.

TMJ Treatment and Its Impact on Alignment

Our team understands the complex relationship between the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and dental alignment. Misalignments or stress in the TMJ can often lead to an uneven bite, which may cause or worsen gaps and crookedness in teeth.

To address these issues, we thoroughly evaluate your:

  • Jaw joint to assess function and movement
  • Bite alignment to identify uneven pressure or imbalance
  • Overall oral structure to determine any TMJ-related effects on your smile

Our approach to TMJ treatment is personalized and may include:

  • Custom oral appliances designed to realign the jaw and reduce strain
  • Therapeutic treatments that target specific sources of pain or imbalance
  • Ongoing evaluation and monitoring to ensure steady progress

We’re committed to alleviating discomfort associated with TMJ disorders while helping you achieve a more aligned, harmonious smile. Regular monitoring allows us to make precise adjustments and track your improvement over time.

By integrating TMJ treatment into our dental care services, we help you:

Our goal is to ensure every aspect of your oral health supports a comfortable, balanced, and confident smile.
