We excel in a full range of aesthetic dental services, including smile rejuvenation for a non-surgical dental facelift.
When patients visit our practice in Fairfax, near Vienna, they know they will receive personalized care and exceptional results from our cosmetic dentist D. Gordon Rye. We have many patients who travel from as far as the Washington, D.C. / Arlington, Virginia area for porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, and other cosmetic procedures to achieve an exceptional smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Dr. D. Gordon Rye can change the shape, color, and length of patients’ teeth with the application of ultra-thin shells of porcelain known as veneers. Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit perfectly over a patient’s original teeth, and the procedure can be completed in just two visits to our office. Dr. Rye often uses veneers to cover chipped or discolored teeth, and to fill minor gaps by creating a veneer that is slightly wider than the natural tooth. He also uses veneers to add length to teeth that are too short.
Dr. Rye can use porcelain veneers to improve the appearance of one tooth, several teeth, or an entire row of front teeth for a complete smile makeover. In the first stage of the veneers process, the teeth receiving veneers will be prepared and an impression will be made so that a veneer can be created to fit snugly over each tooth. During a second appointment, Dr. Rye bonds the veneers tightly to the prepared teeth. Once the application is complete, we gently buff the porcelain veneers and surrounding teeth for a healthy-looking shine.
Because the porcelain is translucent, much like a real tooth, porcelain veneers are extremely natural looking and blend in with surrounding teeth. In fact, they look so natural that many patients admit to forgetting they even have them, and simply notice a straight, beautiful, and natural smile! Patients from the Washington, D.C. / Arlington, Virginia area visit Dr. Rye for porcelain veneers and the outstanding results he consistently achieves. Contact Rye Smiles for Life to schedule an appointment with Dr. Rye today and begin your journey towards the smile of your dreams.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding offers an economical option for results that are similar to porcelain veneers. The quick and painless bonding procedure is used by Dr. D. Gordon Rye to repair teeth that are cracked, discolored, or slightly misaligned. During treatment, Dr. Rye applies a putty-like material to the tooth and then sculpts it to the desired shape. To harden the material, a high-intensity light is applied. Finally, the tooth surface is smoothed and polished for a natural glow.
Dental bonding can be used to quickly improve the appearance of a single tooth, or an entire smile, with results similar to porcelain veneers. If you live in Northern Virginia, including Vienna, contact cosmetic dentist D. Gordon Rye at his Fairfax practice to find out if dental bonding is the right choice for you.
Tooth-colored Fillings for Metal-free Dentistry
For more than 100 years, silver-mercury amalgam fillings have been used by dentists to fix decayed or broken teeth. Today, patients of cosmetic dentist D. Gordon Rye in Fairfax have the option of choosing tooth-colored (composite) fillings, which are both economical and cosmetically appealing. These white fillings are made from a porcelain-like material and bonded securely to the tooth when exposed to a high-intensity light.
Tooth-colored fillings are stain-resistant and can be matched to the color of the surrounding tooth for a completely natural look. They are not only more natural looking than silver fillings, they are also stronger and longer lasting. Unlike old amalgam fillings, which can leak, corrode, and blacken over time, tooth-colored fillings remain white and unnoticeable for up to 10 years. Dr. Rye can replace your old metal fillings with natural-looking tooth-colored filings to achieve optimal dental health and aesthetics.
Laser Gum Re-contouring
Dr. D. Gordon Rye uses a state-of-the-art diode laser to reshape and re-contour soft tissue. The extreme precision that is possible with a laser beam allows Dr. Rye to remove excess gum tissue safely and easily, without harming surrounding tissue. Laser gum re-contouring is an excellent option for patients who feel they have short teeth or a “gummy” smile. Dr. Rye can reshape the gums to lengthen the teeth and even-out the gum line, creating a more balanced smile which complies with the Golden Proportion, a measure of natural beauty.
