A beautiful smile is more than just looks. Having a healthy set of pearly whites can play an important role in your confidence and overall quality of life. Imagine if you were embarrassed to show your teeth because they were too discolored or misaligned. That’s why Dr. Gabriel offers cosmetic dentistry to fix various issues that may negatively impact the look of your teeth including minor cases of decay, stains, cavities, and small cracks.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on correcting imperfections in your smile’s appearance through mainly aesthetic treatments. Our Wexford, PA dentist, Dr. Gabriel practices this field of dentistry to fix common issues that plague many people’s teeth. With cosmetic dentistry, our team can alter a tooth’s shape, length, and spacing to keep your smile looking consistent throughout. Compared to other fields of dentistry, cosmetic procedures are less invasive.
Want a perfect smile without the need for invasive treatments? If so, our office provides porcelain veneers customized to fit over your teeth’s surface. These thin shells are used to cover a variety of minor cosmetic issues including severely discolored, chipped, broken, and uneven teeth. The result is a beautiful smile resistant to staining.
A cavity that’s too large for fillings but too small for a dental crown can be solved with custom inlays and onlays. These composite restorations can be altered by Dr. Gabriel to perfectly match the color, shape, and size of your teeth as well as compliment your bite’s alignment. Our team of dental professionals recommends inlays and onlays for their ease and versatility.
Dr. Gabriel offers Invisalign therapy as an alternative to traditional metal braces. These custom-made, clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth into place. In addition to being transparent, Invisalign trays can also straighten your teeth in just half the time of braces. This treatment is perfect for adults who want a non-intrusive solution to crooked teeth.
Your gums are just important as your teeth when it comes to your oral health. If you’re suffering from receding or excess soft tissue, Dr. Gabriel offers gum procedures including soft tissue grafting and crown lengthening to fix your teeth’s appearance. Our team will be able to recommend either of these treatments based on your smile’s needs.
We recommend tooth-colored fillings and bonding not just for cavities, but if you have cracked or damaged teeth as well. Dr. Gabriel provides great restorative options to restore your teeth and repair spots with imperfections. These modern solutions are customized to blend with your beautiful smile and are delicate enough that you won’t notice them at all.
It’s natural for your teeth to become discolored over time. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should have to like it. Dr. Gabriel and our team can easily improve the color of your teeth by several shades through professional teeth whitening. On top of being convenient and non-invasive, teeth whitening can be done in a single appointment.
Our cosmetic procedures are designed to be straightforward. Most patients find comfort and convenience in knowing these treatments are non-invasive compared to more drastic dental procedures. You can expect to receive quality dental care that’s simple and painless during your visit. Dr. Gabriel will give you his complete attention and develop a treatment plan customized works for you while also addressing the goals for your smile.
Our cosmetic procedures are virtually painless since your dentist will apply a local anesthetic before beginning your treatment. This will ensure you’ll stay comfortable while we work on your smile. Since most cosmetic services are non-invasive, chances are you won’t even need any form of anesthesia. At most, you may feel some slight sensitivity after having your dental procedure, but this will subside on its own after a couple of hours.
Our cosmetic procedures offer easy solutions for fixing any number of minor imperfections, including cracked, misaligned, or misshapen teeth. During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and issues to determine which cosmetic procedures are best for you. Best of all, our treatments are affordable, minimally invasive, and highly effective.
Patients with missing teeth would benefit from restorative dentistry to complete their smile instead of cosmetic dentistry. Since cosmetic dentistry concerns minor dental imperfections and improving the look of your smile, our dentist also practices treatments like dental implants and dentures to restore the function of your oral health.

Most insurance companies don’t cover the cost of cosmetic procedures since they’re not considered medically necessary. However, it’s recommended you reach out to your provider anyway to get an accurate understanding of your coverage and benefits. During your initial visit, your dentist will discuss our financing options to make your treatment more affordable.
