Cosmetic Services

Modern techniques and materials have made cosmetic dentistry even more accessible to the average person. Once only available to the rich and famous, cosmetics can now correct anything about your teeth that you don’t specifically like.

Here are a few examples.

Veneers

A veneer is a tiny sheet of porcelain, in many cases no thicker than a baby’s fingernail, that’s adhered to the front and sides of your existing tooth. Seen on many popular makeover shows, veneers can correct misshapen, discolored or poorly aligned teeth. In multiples, they can act as instant orthodontics, correcting crowded or crooked teeth in as little as two visits. Simply imagine your teeth a certain size or shape – or even show us a photo of someone’s teeth that you admire – and your smile can be transformed with veneers.

Bonding

Bonding is a quick and easy way to recontour teeth. It’s often used to reduce or eliminate large spaces between the front teeth. A hard plastic resin that’s been color-matched to your smile is applied to the tooth surface, where it is shaped and polished until it can’t be easily discerned to onlookers. Voila! Bonding is a great way to “try on” the correction of gapped teeth or other minor imperfections.

Whitening

Whitening is the number one requested cosmetic procedure in America. Let’s face it; we all love white teeth! There are many ways to achieve a whiter smile but most involve the utilization of a bleaching agent that’s held or painted onto the surface of the teeth. That can be done in our office; or you can try it yourself at home with trays that we’ve custom-made from an impression of your teeth. Whitening doesn’t last forever, so be sure and ask us about ordering extra tubes of touch-up whitening material for future use. They are about the same price as whitening material you can buy at your local mega-store, but they’re a strength available only to dental professionals.

Snap on Smile

This patented appliance requires no tooth surface reduction, no shots and no adhesives. It’s a strong, flexible set of teeth that snap right over your own. It can serve as long-term smile enhancement, as a functional partial denture or as a provisional appliance for those who are having major reconstructive procedures or implant placement. We believe in the Snap-On-Smile; our employees use it and enjoy its versatility. It’s also very affordable.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Veneers aren’t a good choice for everyone, especially if you have difficulty biting or chewing - or if you grind your teeth regularly. It’s only after we correct those functional issues that we’re able to perfect the shape, color and size of your individual teeth.  Often, quite a bit of engineering goes into making your smile beautiful and functional. We’ve had extensive experience in reconstruction and would love to share the testimonials and rave reviews our patients have graciously given us over the years. It’s some of the most gratifying work we do as dentists, and the primary reason we’ve taken extensive continuing education over the past few years. Most complicated dental problems can be overcome with a full mouth reconstruction. Please, ask any of our team about this life-changing opportunity.
