One of the first things people notice is your smile. If chipped, stained, or crooked teeth are "hiding" the real you, it's time for a smile make over.
A beautiful smile can brighten your life every day, professionally and socially. And unlike plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry isn't a major operation. Imagine coming in for a single appointment or two and emerging with the smile you've always wanted...no pain, no strain, no time taken away from your busy life. The results are immediate and dramatic.
Brighten teeth that have lost their sparkle. Dentists can treat discolored, stained or aging teeth with our state-of-the-art whitening process. The treatment can be completed in just over an hour in our office, or you can choose at-home treatments. A dazzling smile isn't just for celebrities any more. It's for you, because you're worth it.
Cover problem teeth with ultra-thin porcelain veneers.
Think of this treatment as a manicure for your smile. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are custom fitted over your natural teeth. Dentists can change the shape, color and length of your teeth in only two visits. It looks so good you'll wonder why you waited so long.
When the size of a "filling" exceeds a certain proportion of the tooth, it must be replaced with a "cap," also called a "crown." Some dentists like to use porcelain crowns that look very natural and don't have a dark metal line.
Porcelain crowns reflect light with a natural healthy glow.
Go natural with dental implants. Implants are bridges that are permanently anchored into the jaw. Because there is always a perfect fit, dental implants are almost the same as having your natural teeth back again. To qualify for implants, you'll need healthy oral tissues and jawbone ridges that are in good shape. If you're suffering from tooth loss, talk with your dentist about whether implants are an option for you.
Some dentists use dental bonding to sculpt individual teeth with a special tooth-like material that looks, acts and feels like the real thing.
Bonding is an affordable, quick and painless way to repair many cosmetic flaws or injuries.
Turn "Metal Mouth" into a natural smile:
Replace old crowns and bridges with metal-free restorations. There's a huge difference between metal fillings and ew porcelain restorations that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Your new metal-free crowns, inlays and bridges won't show wear or cause opposing teeth to erode, and fitting the crown or bridge is a breeze.
Restorative Dentistry refers to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed or lost. Once your dentist has examined your teeth and has evaluated your dental and medical history, they will be ready to provide a diagnosis and treatment options.
Dentists use numerous methods to conservatively restore your teeth and help you obtain optimal oral health.
