Cosmetic Dental Services
At James Island Dental Associates, we can create a gorgeous smile by teeth whitening, bonding, veneering, crowning, or straightening teeth. In some cases, we may even use a combination of these procedures.
Do you feel self-conscious about your smile when you meet new people? Do you find yourself hiding your teeth in photos? When you’re not satisfied with the appearance of your teeth, it can affect your interactions with other people and may give them the wrong impression. The good news is there are lots of great options for restoring your smile with cosmetic dentistry in Charleston, whether you’re dealing with crooked, discolored, or broken teeth. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Weir enjoy creating wonderful, natural-looking smiles and will carefully evaluate your needs. They will listen to your needs and discuss what you like or dislike about your smile so that they can make the right recommendation for your lifestyle and budget
Our Cosmetic Dental Surgery Services
A complete smile makeover is a combination of treatments that will help relieve discomfort and improve the appearance and function of your smile. This allows us to address a mix of dental concerns all at once, including decayed or broken teeth, gum disease, exposed roots, crooked teeth, and discolored teeth.
Because we offer comprehensive dentistry at James Island Dental Associates, including dental implants from start to finish, we can complete your makeover right here in our comfortable office. Many patients appreciate this and feel relieved knowing that they won’t have to run from office to office to get the care they need!
Each smile makeover is customized to meet the patient’s unique and specific needs. Depending on the concerns we are addressing, your makeover may include:
Crowns – A tooth-shaped shell that fits over the top of a damaged or broken tooth like a helmet to conceal and protect it.
Dental Implants – A replacement tooth that consists of a porcelain crown held in place by a titanium replacement root.
Extractions – If a tooth is too damaged or periodontal disease has progressed too far, we may need to remove and replace the tooth.
Dental Bonding – This less expensive alternative to porcelain veneers can also correct discolored, oddly positioned, chipped, or misshapen teeth.
Porcelain Veneers – Thin shells that fit over the top of the teeth to transform their appearance.
Teeth Straightening – Simpli5 is an excellent choice for teens or adults who need only minor adjustments to their front teeth.
Professional eeth Whitening – A final touch to keep your teeth uniform and attractive

Joy SimmonsFebruary 14, 2023.I met Dr. Weir as a professor at MUSC dental school. I went to his office for a general visit after bone grafts. He preformed the most through dental/ mouth exam I have ever had in my life. He is kind and empathetic to me and always allows my emotions to flow. He is always up on state of the art in dentistry. He is professional, has integrity, and kind. He preforms dental implants and laser gum surgery. Check him out!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
K HubatchJanuary 13, 2023.Their dental hygienist, Kit, went above and beyond to help make my toddler feel more comfortable.

Deb BoissonneaultAugust 29, 2022.Really like this dental practice. Everyone is friendly, helpful, & concerned for patient comfort. They get you in without months of waiting for an appointment. The service is prompt. I never feel as if the work is hurried or rushed. Finally, the dentists don't try to sell you procedures you don't need. I came to this practice because of a dentist who tried to sell me crowns I didn't need. Love this group.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

MORE QUESTIONS?
Each case can be different, but three options are available for you:
Dental Implant
The first is a dental implant, which acts as an anchor in the bone and a crown that attaches to the implant. The dental implant mimics a natural tooth by adding security and offering a permanent solution. The crown created to replace the tooth will be carefully crafted to blend in with your other teeth.
Dental Bridge
The second is a fixed bridge, which involves capping the two teeth adjacent to the space. The caps are joined to a pontic (the replacement tooth) and the whole unit is cemented onto the adjacent teeth. This option provides security and completes your smile, but doesn’t offer the same benefits as implants. When multiple teeth are missing, we can discuss using implants to hold a bridge in place, which allows us to avoid altering otherwise healthy teeth.
Partial Denture
The third option is a removable partial denture, which has the missing teeth attached to it and clasps that slide over your natural teeth to help it stay in place. This removable appliance will require extra care on your part and may need to occasionally be refitted; however, it’s an option that many people find easily affordable.
At James Island Dental Associates, Dr. Weir and Dr. Thomas are proud to provide comprehensive implant dentistry. The benefit to you is that when you get dental implants in James Island, SC, you will be working with one of our dentists and the team members you know and trust.
First Step of Implant Process
After you’ve completed an initial implant consultation to determine if this is the right procedure for your needs, the next step is placing the implant. Dr. Weir and Dr. Thomas utilize advanced 3-D technology to help them plan the placement of your implant well before the procedure. This pre-treatment planning results in more accuracy, precision, and a reliable outcome on the day of your surgery.
After Implant Placement
Once we successfully place your implant, we give it time to heal and integrate fully with bone in your jaw. In this way, the implant becomes a permanent part of your dental anatomy just as your tooth root was. The healing process can take anywhere from three to six months.
When you complete the healing process, our dentists create your final restoration. We can use implants to replace a single missing tooth with a durable and aesthetic porcelain crown. They are also capable of supporting multiple tooth replacement prosthetics such as a bridge or denture.
