Creating your new smile
The first step of your smile makeover is getting any needed images of your teeth and the underlying bone structure. This can include photographs of the inside and outside of your mouth and any needed X-rays. You and the doctor will review the images, discuss your different options and determine the best approach to creating your new look.
We believe in patient education. The doctor will walk you through each procedure to make sure you understand what it does and how it aligns with your goals and expectations. If needed, we will take impressions of your teeth and create a wax model for use in designing your smile. We can make adjustments according to your preferences until it’s just right.
Our Cosmetic Procedures
Porcelain Veneers
A porcelain veneer is a thin shell that is tightly bonded to the front of a tooth. Veneers are used to correct conditions such as discolored, chipped or crooked teeth; gaps between teeth; and even as a method of fixing crooked teeth. Veneers can give you an extraordinary transformation.
Professional Teeth Whitening
For a beautiful, natural-looking bright smile, we provide three types of whitening techniques: Custom-fitted take-home whitening trays, Kör in-office whitening or a combination of the two for the deepest whitening treatment.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is the use of a strong, tooth-colored composite resin to fill cracks, decayed areas, undesirable shapes or chips, or for other issues. A bonding procedure can be a more affordable alternative to handle different cosmetic concerns.
You can ask the doctor about bonding and whether it’s a good choice for your situation.
Porcelain Crowns
A crown is used to restore your tooth to its ideal size, shape and function. Crowns are for both restorative and cosmetic applications in dentistry. Our porcelain crowns look beautiful and natural.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a replacement tooth “root” used to support crowns, bridges and dentures. For problems such as a missing tooth or severely decayed tooth needing replacement, an implant could be the best restoration choice you could make.
Gum Recontouring
Sometimes a smile shows too much gum tissue, making the teeth appear small. This is known as a “gummy smile.” A gum line can also appear uneven due to too much gum tissue on one or more teeth. Our doctors use a soft tissue laser to gently and safely remove excess gum tissue, improving a “gummy smile” or straightening out an uneven gum line.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Fillings are a popular and reliable use of dental bonding material. You can use it to replace any of your dark metal fillings from previous dental work. Our durable composite resin fillings not only look better, but have been found to be less irritating than earlier metal fillings.
For new fillings, a composite resin procedure requires removal of only the decayed portion of the tooth, rather than having to remove some of the healthy tooth (as in earlier metal fillings). The composite filling bonds directly to your tooth, so it’s less likely to cause your tooth to crack.
For those who need fillings or already have metal fillings, a tooth-colored filling can make a huge difference in appearance.
