COSMETIC DENTISTRY
IN PHILADELPHIA, PA

When it comes to the smile, modern dentistry offers several cosmetic treatment options to improve the appearance of teeth. These options range from addressing minor imperfections to replacing missing teeth. Traditional options such as porcelain crowns and veneers are tooth-shaped restorations that alter the teeth’ size, shape, and color for a beautiful appearance. At Rittenhouse Dental Group, we offer natural-looking dental implants permanently secured into the jawbone for patients missing one or more teeth. This approach replaces the lost root structure and the tooth above the gumline for a beautiful smile that looks and functions naturally. We often recommend dental bonding for those with minor imperfections, such as chips or cracks. This treatment requires minimal enamel removal before a composite resin is applied directly to the tooth.

Dental Bonding

The dentist will first prepare the tooth or teeth to be treated during the appointment by applying an etching solution. This solution helps the composite resin adhere more securely to the tooth surface. Then, your dentist will apply the composite material in layers to create a natural-looking restoration. When the procedure is complete, your doctor will use a special light to help the material harden. Once your treatment is done, you can care for your smile with regular brushing and flossing. Patients also appreciate that dental bonding is more affordable than most other cosmetic treatments.

Dental Implant Restorations

A dental implant restoration is a tooth replacement strategy involving implants to support a single dental crown, fixed bridge, or complete denture. The implant is made of a tiny titanium post secured to the jawbone through a minor surgical procedure. Once in place, the implant fuses with the bone in a process known as osseointegration. This surgical component is often completed under local anesthesia, but sedation may also be used to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. Once the implants have healed and integrated with the jaw, patients return to their dentist’s office for the final placement and attachment of the prosthetic piece. Patients can rest assured that their smiles will look natural and beautiful for many years.

Dental Veneers

A veneer is a thin shell of porcelain attached to the front of a tooth to improve the appearance of the tooth. The veneer is custom-made for each patient in a dental lab to match the size, shape, color, and overall appearance of the other teeth in the smile. When in place, the veneers are indistinguishable from the other natural teeth in color and shape. They are also resistant to chipping and cracking.

Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture supported by dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium posts implanted into the jawbone, functioning as a replacement tooth root. The posts are surgically inserted into the jaw during a multi-step procedure over a few months. Once the posts have healed and integrated with the jawbone, the denture can be affixed with a small connector called an abutment. This allows it to fit firmly in place on the gums without needing any adhesives or pastes.

Snap-On Smile®

A snap-on smile is a cosmetic dental product designed as an easy and attractive way to hide worn or crooked teeth. The product consists of lightweight resins bonded to your teeth and gums using a unique light-cured adhesive. The result is a beautiful new smile that is easy to insert and remove as needed.

Zoom Teeth Whitening

Zoom teeth whitening is a revolutionary teeth whitening procedure that can whiten your teeth up to eight shades in just one hour. This fast-acting gel formula includes ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide to break down stains on deep-set discolorations. There’s no downtime associated with this procedure; you can immediately return to your regular daily schedule afterward.

  My husband and I both go to Rittenhouse Dental Group. They have been outstanding - extremely kind, accommodating to scheduling requests, detailed approach to care with particular emphasis on thoughtfulness and explaining the reasoning behind recommendations. We recently had to bring our newborn with us due to childcare constraints and they so easily adjusted to ensure we were able to get our care being mindful of his needs. Front office staff is very welcoming and communicative.

  After moving back to Philly and taking a break from dental care due to the pandemic I chose to start fresh at Rittenhouse Dental Group.   I felt extremely welcomed and taken care of from the first call.  My treatment began with full scaling which can be an unpleasant experience.  Again, from scheduling to the care of the hygienist it could not have gone smoother and the results were great.  My follow up cleaning visits were the same and my mouth feels healthier than ever.   I also began an Invisalign treatment.  I have always been self conscious about my smile and after putting off a solution for many years I was ready for a change.  I’m glad I waited till I was in the hands of this group because they made the process seamless.   From expectation setting, to planning and billing options.  Thoughtful service the entire way.  I work a 60hr per week job and also have a child and they were able to cater to specific appointment needs throughout, always in friendly way.    I was told the Invisalign plan would take just under a year to achieve the results we were looking for.   Along with the teams direction (and some personal discipline) the plan worked out perfectly.  I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Working in hospitality makes you appreciate customer service/care that much more and this group has it in every staff member.   I look forward to my continued care with them and would recommend anyone looking for a similar experience to reach out to them!
