Overview
Confidence,
By Design
Cosmetic dentistry can change how you feel about your smile — and how you greet the world. If crooked, stained, or chipped teeth keep you from smiling freely, we can help. At Smiles On Church in Birmingham, AL, Dr. Gordon Henry and Dr. Kevin Alexander focus on treatments that look natural and last. We combine clinical skill with small comforts like blankets, TVs, sparkling water, and friendly team members who say “Smile On!” You’ll leave informed and at ease.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options We Offer
We match treatments to your goals and oral health. Some popular options include:
- Teeth whitening to brighten stains from coffee, tobacco, or aging.
- Porcelain veneers to change the shape, size, and shade of front teeth.
- Composite bonding to repair chips or close small gaps.
- Tooth-colored crowns are used to restore a broken or worn tooth.
Every plan begins with an exam and clear images from our digital X-ray and 3D scanner so that we can recommend the least invasive path to your goal.
When Cosmetic Care Makes Sense
You don’t need severe damage to benefit from cosmetic care. Many patients want to look fresher for a job interview, feel more confident at a wedding, or correct long-term wear from grinding. We assess bite, gum health, and tooth structure before offering options. If we find a cavity or gum problem, we treat that first. That prevents short-term fixes from failing later. Cosmetic work should improve looks and help teeth last longer.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first cosmetic visit focuses on listening and planning. Expect a thorough exam, digital X-rays, and a 3D scan with our iTero or TRIOS systems when required. Those scans let you preview possible outcomes. We explain trade-offs, timelines, and recovery in clear language. Typical steps:
- Initial consultation and photographs
- Digital scans or X-rays
- Conservative treatment plan with estimated timing
We show you before-and-after photos and walk through daily care to protect results. You’ll know what to expect at every step.
How We Use Technology for Better Results
Technology helps us work efficiently and with more predictable outcomes. Our CBCT scanner captures jawbone details when needed. Digital X-rays reduce exposure and speed diagnosis. The 3D scanner and digital impressions remove the need for messy putty in many cases. These tools help us design veneers, crowns, and align restorations so they fit your bite and look natural. You’ll notice greater fit accuracy and fewer return visits.
Why Patients Choose Smiles On Church
People come to us for care that balances skill and comfort. Dr. Gordon Henry and Dr. Kevin Alexander each bring years of experience, and our team treats families and professionals alike. Unique touches you’ll find here:
- TVs and blankets in treatment rooms for calmer visits
- Sparkling water and bottled water after treatment
- A clear treatment timeline so you can plan around work and family
We focus on honesty and clarity. If preventive steps can reduce the scope of cosmetic work, we recommend those first. We maintain a modern, hygienic office designed to make appointments smooth and reassuring.
Caring for Your New Smile
After cosmetic treatment, simple habits keep results bright and strong. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and avoid habits that wear teeth down. If you grind your teeth at night, ask about a custom-fitted mouthguard. Schedule regular checkups and cleanings so we can monitor restorations and gums. If a veneer or bonded area chips, call us promptly; early repairs often save more tooth structure than delayed fixes. We provide clear aftercare instructions tailored to each procedure.
