Medically reviewed by Saad Bassas, DDS — Board-Certified Prosthodontist · Diplomate, American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry

Have you ever thought about how your smile impacts your self-confidence? If you’ve caught yourself hiding your smile or avoiding showing your teeth, you could benefit from cosmetic dentistry in St. Cloud, MN.

Your smile is a window into your personality. When you feel self-conscious about smiling or your teeth, you may hold back in social or professional situations. That’s why fixing your teeth can also improve your quality of life!

Fixing Unsightly Teeth

If you have a tooth that is chipped, severely discolored, or irregularly shaped, it may need special attention. A dental crown covers the entire tooth, giving it strength and a renewed appearance.

Treating Multiple Dental Issues

When you’re thinking of improving your smile, it can feel overwhelming if you have a number of dental problems. For example, if you have a missing tooth, gum disease, and a broken dental crown, you may wonder what to do first.

A full-mouth reconstruction is a structured treatment plan that addresses each problem one by one. We address oral health issues first so that you can benefit from successful cosmetic dental treatments. We’ll treat issues like gum disease and tooth decay before moving on to cosmetic treatments.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Gaps in your smile can take a toll on both your self-confidence and your oral health. The good news is that skilled dentists have many tools for replacing broken or damaged teeth or teeth lost long ago.

Dental implants are a long-term, highly successful treatment for replacing one or multiple missing teeth.
Dental bridges fill the space left by a missing tooth using a prosthetic tooth and dental crowns on adjacent teeth.
All-on-4 replaces full dental arches by leveraging four or more dental implants as anchors for dentures. The result is a fully stable restoration.

If you’d like to enhance your smile, call your St. Cloud, MN dentist to schedule a cosmetic dentistry appointment.

Dr. Saad Bassas is a board-certified prosthodontist and a Diplomate of both the American Board of Prosthodontics and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry — a dual distinction held by only a small number of dentists in the United States. He completed residency training in both oral surgery and prosthodontics, which qualifies him to surgically place and prosthetically restore dental implants himself rather than dividing that care between two providers.

He has practiced dentistry in Minnesota since 2003.
