Veneers
Thanks to veneers, we can make changes to the shape, size, and color of your teeth with a single cosmetic procedure. We can cover the visible surfaces of your teeth with veneers, thus hiding any number of flaws and enhancing the overall appearance of your smile. From dental stains that don’t seem to go away to small yet noticeable cracks, there are all kinds of imperfections that veneers can be used to address.
Metal-Free Restorations
When you’re told that you need a dental crown, do you expect the final restoration to be made out of metal? When you’re going to need a filling, do you picture a mouth full of silver amalgam showing amongst your natural teeth? That doesn’t have to be the case at our office; we can place customized zirconia and EMAX crowns and composite resin fillings, which are known for being natural in appearance. The goal with metal-free crowns and fillings is to repair your smile so seamlessly that the average observer won’t be able to tell that any of your teeth were damaged to begin with.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is often suggested for patients who need a “quick fix” for relatively small imperfections. We can cover discolored spots, small chips, and other flaws with composite resin, which can blend right in with your enamel once it has been expertly shaded, carefully sculpted, and hardened in place. It is worth noting that while some cosmetic dental procedures may require multiple visits, we can often complete cosmetic bonding in just one appointment. It is also typically painless and conservative, requiring minimal to zero modification of your natural teeth.
Clear Aligners & Short Term Orthodontics
How can you straighten your smile without having to wear braces? Depending on the severity of your alignment issues, we may be able to offer Invisalign clear aligners as an alternative to traditional orthodontics. The aligners won’t be very noticeable when worn, and you will be able to take them out before meals, meaning you don’t have to avoid your favorite foods.
If you’re looking for a short-term solution to crowding, spacing, or general relapse from not wearing your teenage retainer, we also offer Six Month Smiles! Six Month Smiles utilizes specialized clear braces to gently straighten and align teeth for patients who want to achieve straighter grins in less time.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. The most population method is using an at-home tooth whitening system, which includes Opalescence professional strength gel and customized bleach trays that fit comfortably on your teeth and not on your oral tissue.
Smile Design
When you visit our office to discuss making cosmetic improvements to your smile, we may find that more than one treatment will be required to help you achieve the desired results. As such, we may suggest a smile design or mockup. This begins with defining exactly what your desires are and using 3D imaging and software to design the potential outcome of possibilities what you want your smile to look like. Using that design, we carefully begin to determine what treatment each tooth would require to ensure the final product will match the desired end point.
