Cosmetic Dentistry

Can We Improve Your Smile?

From subtle changes to major repairs, we can perform a variety of procedures to improve your smile. There are many techniques and options for treating teeth that are discolored, chipped, misshapen, or missing. We can reshape your teeth, close spaces, restore worn or short teeth, and alter the length of your teeth. Common procedures include bleaching, bonding, caps, crowns, veneers, reshaping, and contouring. These treatments not only lead to cosmetic improvements but also boost your self esteem and career prospects.

Dental Veneers & Laminates

Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth and improve your smile. These shells are bonded to the teeth, transforming their color, shape, size, or length.

Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers are more effective than resin veneers at resisting stains. They are also better at mimicking the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Talk to your dentist about which veneer material is the best choice for you.

What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?

What's the Procedure for Getting a Dental Veneer?

Getting dental veneers usually requires three trips to the dentist: the first is for a consultation, the second is for constructing the veneers, and the third for cementing the veneers. One tooth or many teeth can simultaneously undergo the veneering process.

This is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that leads to amazing results and a perfect smile, designed just the way you like it!

LASER TEETH WHITENING / BLEACHING:

Bleaching is a common and popular chemical process used to whiten teeth. Some people get their teeth bleached to make stains disappear, while other just wants a whiter shade.

Discoloration occurs in the enamel and can be caused by medication, coffee, tea and cigarettes.Discoloration also can be caused by your genetic make-up or simply getting older. Bleaching can be performed by the dentist in the office or, under supervision, at home. Many patients enjoy bleaching at Dental Office because it is more convenient.

Typically, whitening at home takes two or three weeks, depending on the desired shade you wish to achieve. Whitening in the office may call for 45 minute visit to the dentist’s office.

GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION

A smile is considered a “gummy smile” if a significant amount of gingival tissue (gums) can be seen as a person smiles. Although a gummy smile is considered a normal variation of human anatomy, many people with gummy smiles are very self-conscious when smiling. Fortunately, these smiles can be corrected with simple periodontal surgery procedures.

Here we see a moderate to advanced gummy smile. With a combination of crown lengthening surgery to reduce the gums,
5 Porcelain Veneers, and a porcelain bridge, this patient now has a normal looking, attractive smile.

A severe gummy smile with worn teeth was easily corrected with gum reduction surgery and just 6 Porcelain Veneers.
