Veneers

Have you ever wanted to have a picture-ready smile just like the stars of your favorite movies and television shows? Not everyone is born with perfect teeth – but with the help of veneers, you can hide numerous aesthetic flaws in multiple teeth, all at once! These thin covers fit over the visible surfaces of the teeth and are used to correct everything from severe stains to chips and cracks and more. Each veneer is custom-made out of durable materials that are mostly stain-resistant and capable of enduring for several years.

Lumineers

To place veneers, the natural teeth will indeed need to be slightly altered; a small amount of enamel must be removed so that the veneers can lay flush and blend in with the rest of the teeth. However, if you want the benefits of veneers but don’t want the treatment to be permanent, you can look into Lumineers as an alternative. These are thinner than veneers, so they can be attached to the teeth right away without as much alteration, which speeds up the process and makes it possible to return to your natural smile later. There are limits to what Lumineers can be used to correct, though, so we’ll need to closely examine your smile before confirming you’re a good candidate.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

It might seem like a bit of a tradeoff for the protection that a traditional metal dental crown can provide – after all, these dark-colored pieces of metal stand out obviously against the rest of the natural teeth. However, thanks to tooth-colored ceramics and composite resin, you no longer have to choose between a strong reliable filling and a seamless appearance – you can have both! Plus, metal-free restorations can be personalized specifically for your smile, so you won’t have to worry about it looking or feeling odd.

Direct Bonding

Even small issues with your teeth can have a large impact on your overall self-esteem. Direct bonding is often the quickest and simplest solution for minor cracks, discolored spots, and other types of similar small flaws. The procedure is very straightforward compared to other cosmetic dental treatments; in less than an hour, we can apply a special, natural-looking resin to mask any imperfections on any number of teeth, before shading and sculpting it to ensure it looks completely lifelike.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

These days, metal braces are not your only option for straightening your teeth and getting rid of your overbite or other bite issues. Invisalign offers a much more convenient and comfortable way to make orthodontic corrections without having to compromise your appearance in the meantime. The plastic alignment trays are barely visible while being worn, ensuring that most people won’t even realize that you have them – they’ll only see your natural smile as it gradually improves over the course of treatment! Better yet, since the aligners are removable, the treatment doesn’t come with the same dietary restrictions as metal braces.

Teeth Whitening

Keeping your smile white and bright is easier said than done, especially if you tend to sip coffee and other dark-colored beverages daily. Thankfully, this discoloration is far from permanent; our team can help! Talk with us about our professional teeth-whitening options for getting rid of all the stubborn stains that have appeared over the years. You can choose between in-office whitening that yields results in just one day or at-home kits that can be used according to your own schedule; we’ll help you decide which of these options is best for you!

Gum Recontouring

It's true that your teeth are prominently featured whenever you smile, but your gums can actually draw just as much attention. However, an uneven gumline or the presence of excess gum tissue can leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance. Luckily, gum recontouring is an available solution for addressing this issue and restoring your smile’s beautiful symmetry. This procedure will always be performed with the utmost precision and care to ensure that only a necessary amount of tissue is removed.

Digital Imaging

With so many different cosmetic dentistry treatments available these days, you might feel a little uncertain about which one is best for your needs. You may also have trouble conjuring a mental picture of what your improved smile will look like before you make your decision. This is where technology can make a massive difference. We can take pictures of your smile as it is now and use digital imaging techniques to alter it, showing you what your teeth will look like after specific procedures have been completed. You’ll gain a better understanding of your smile and what to expect from your cosmetic treatment, allowing you to make a better-informed and confident decision!

Botox

If you want your teeth to look as young and brilliant as possible, you’ll want to do something to smooth out the skin around them; after all, the wrinkles around your mouth, as well as other lines across your face, can often make your smile seem older than it really is. Botox is a treatment that is being offered at more and more dental practices across the country as a solution for anyone looking to get rid of noticeable facial lines. The process can be completed in just one short appointment and follow-up visits can be scheduled to help you maintain your younger, fresher look.

Juvederm Dermal Fillers

Juvederm works a little differently than BOTOX but can help patients achieve a similar effect. Instead of halting muscle contractions like BOTOX does, Juvederm treatment involves injecting a hydrating substance into the skin, which helps to plump certain areas to make the skin look and feel smoother and rounder. This treatment is often perfect for patients who want to ease the appearance of deep lines on their lower faces, including vertical lip lines, laugh lines, and lines surrounding the nose. Like BOTOX, follow-up appointments as needed can be made to ensure lasting, beautiful results.
