Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental implants are now a cornerstone of dentistry and provide the best option for replacing missing teeth in certain situations. If you have missing teeth and are considering dental implant therapy, our dentists will provide a comprehensive evaluation to determine if implants are right for you. We offer multiple options for replacing a single missing tooth or the entire dentition. Often we can complete the entire implant procedure in our office. We strive to make this option affordable for all our patients, so you can enjoy the full benefits of this technology.

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that your dentist will use to improve the appearance of your smile. They will bond the veneers to the surfaces of the teeth to correct certain dental flaws. Porcelain veneers are customized for a perfect fit and natural appearance. When in place, porcelain veneers can:

• Close spaces between the teeth
• Lighten and brighten the teeth
• Improve the beauty of the smile
• Repair chips, wear, or cracks in teeth
• Correct teeth that are misshapen, crooked, or uneven

Crowns are necessary when a tooth is severely damaged or has suffered from advanced decay and cannot be fixed with bonded filling material. Crowns cover the remaining tooth and restore its function, strength, and esthetics. Several crown material options are available. The materials used depend on which area of your mouth is being restored. During the consultation, your dentist will discuss which crown type best fits your needs.

Bridges can be utilized when tooth loss occurs due to gum disease, decay, or injury. If left uncorrected, a missing tooth can create greater problems for your dental health. The teeth next to the missing tooth (or teeth) can begin to move and result in pain, and discomfort, and can look unsightly. With bridges, your dentist will close any gaps in your mouth. The bridge looks and acts just like natural teeth, is permanently cemented, and helps to maintain the position of the rest of your teeth.

Invisalign® is an orthodontic system that straightens teeth without the use of traditional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners provides a comfortable, invisible way to have teeth aligned and your smile restored.

BOTOX® is used to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles that have begun to form on a person’s face, giving them a more youthful and radiant look. What most people don’t know is that BOTOX is also useful for helping treat cases of TMJ, bruxism, and migraines. Since BOTOX is a muscular relaxant, it will help decrease the muscle contractions occurring in the face that cause TMJ and other facial pains. Many patients have experienced the amazing relief that BOTOX brings to these painful conditions.

Juvéderm® is used to erase the deep smile lines that form at the side of a person’s mouth, as well as wrinkles found at the bottom of the nose. It can also used for lip augmentations and to fill in any voids or visible scars on the face. Juvéderm® adds volume to the face for luminous-looking skin.
