How can we help you?
We are partners with our patients and your input matters to us. After your comprehensive dental exam, Dr. Amanda Matthews explains the details of her findings and the treatment she proposes. At Exceptional Dentistry, we encourage you to ask us any oral-health related questions you have. Whether something comes up during your exam, or you have a general concern, our dental team is always happy to find the answers you need.
There are questions that we often hear from our Wilmington, DE patients, and we've shared them below. If you don't find the information you need here, please don't hesitate to call us. We've also filled our website with loads of helpful information, so we hope you'll take a few minutes to check it out.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Fortunately, whitening has not been shown to be harmful to your teeth. Whitening, also known as bleaching, does not weaken tooth enamel or make teeth more prone to cavities or bone loss. In some cases, there is temporary sensitivity in the teeth as the teeth are whitening but this is not a lingering effect or a sign that anything is going badly.
With cosmetic dentistry at our Wilmington, DE dental office, there’s no aesthetic dental flaw we can’t resolve. With advanced techniques, materials, and technology, Dr. Amanda Matthews routinely corrects issues like:
- Chipped and broken teeth
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Size or shape discrepancies
- Stained or yellow teeth
- Wide or uneven gaps or spacing
If you have a concern that you don’t see listed here, we can probably address that too! Aesthetic dental treatments we use to improve your smile are:
- Tooth-colored filling
- Dental bonding
- Porcelain veneers
- Porcelain dental crowns
- Teeth whitening
Would you like to replace missing teeth and fill that gap in your smile? We have treatment options for that too:
- Dental bridges
- Dental implants
- Partial dentures
- Full dentures
- Implant dentures
Dr. Matthews is an experienced cosmetic and general dentist who has expertise in all these areas. Since your smile and your needs are unique, she will consult with you to see what’s bothering you and how we can resolve it. For some, a professional teeth whitening treatment may be all they need. Others may require a combination of treatments to restore the health and beauty of their smile.
Whatever your needs are, we’ll help you choose the treatments to help you achieve your smile goals. Please call our Wilmington, DE dental office to schedule an appointment to learn about the options we offer.
The best way to prepare your teeth is to have them evaluated and cleaned by Exceptional Dentistry. This will ensure there are no other underlying problems with the bone, gums, or teeth and that the teeth can fully absorb the bleach and look their best.
At-home whitening is as easy as 1-2-3! Your first appointment is a fast, digital, goop-free impression taken of your teeth. Second, we try in your trays, give you instructions, and answer any questions you have. And third, you wear your trays at night and enjoy your fantastic results! Each appointment in the office is only about 20 minutes. If you choose to boost your whitening with our Kor Max, there is one more in-office treatment which take about 90 minutes.
At Exceptional Dentistry, we recommend the Kor Bleaching System. This is a proven leader in the field whose results are outstanding. Typically, bleaching is maintained for years after initial use. We do recommend intermittent bleaching throughout the year to maintain your beautiful white smile!
