Cosmetic dentistry is the specialized field which deals with the beautification of the teeth and gums, including anything from a simple bonding to a full mouth bite lift. The exact treatment that you need will depend on a number of factors concerning the condition of your teeth, your personal goals, as well as your general health. Sometimes, these procedures can be completed as quickly as one visit; in other cases, it may involve careful planning and treatment over time. It is our goal to partner with patients to achieve a smile that gives them the confidence they need to live their best life.
VENEERS
Dental veneers are a popular choice for those with chipped teeth, a gap between teeth, or misshapen teeth. They are thin covers that adhere to teeth to give them a natural look. Porcelain veneers are strong and long-lasting and involve minimal changes to natural teeth. Our team is here to help talk through cosmetic options to determine what might be a good fit for you.
DIGITAL SMILE DESIGN
For patients wanting to preview smile options, we offer digital smile design (DSD) technology. We combine photos, digital scans of the teeth, and 3D imaging to design a healthy, esthetic smile. Once we’ve completed the design, we can create a digital and/or 3D printed resin mock-up to test-drive your new smile. This information helps us perfect what will ultimately be the final product.
This intensive preparatory process can do a great deal to ensure that you’re happy with the results. Ultimately, DSD is designed to help you provide us with feedback before treatment even begins, ensuring you are able to achieve the smile you want. This advanced technology can be incredibly beneficial for patients considering comprehensive makeovers involving numerous treatments.
By partnering with you through this process, we can create healthy, natural, beautiful smiles.
ICON BONDING
White spot lesions can be caused by a loss of mineral content in the tooth’s enamel, trauma to a developing tooth, or excess fluoride during development. The recommended treatment depends on four things: size, cause, deterioration of enamel and the quantity of spots. Previously, our options were limited in treating white spot lesions, especially in younger patients. ICON resin infiltration is minimally invasive and significantly reduces the appearance of white spots on teeth.
The procedure works without anesthesia or drilling; resin fills the demineralized area, helps prevent further demineralization and makes white spots less noticeable. Results can last years and dramatically improve aesthetics without sensitivity or tooth structure loss. This is a great option for white spot lesions that may be present after removal of braces as well.
TAKE-HOME AND
IN-OFFICE WHITENING
Whitening treatments performed at our office can deliver drastic results using prescription-strength solutions in a relatively short period of time. Most patients are able to whiten their teeth by several shades in 1-2 hours. In-office treatments also have the benefit of being performed under the supervision of our experienced dental professionals.
Custom take-home whitening kits can be used in the comfort of your own home. This method uses a lower concentration over a longer period of time, and allows patients to control the process themselves.
Our team can discuss our whitening options more specifically to determine which would be best for you.
CLEAR ALIGNER THERAPY
Clear aligner therapy uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move teeth into their optimal position, and is one of the most popular forms of orthodontic treatment. While it has cosmetic benefits, our main goals for clear aligner therapy are to improve the health and function of your teeth, gums, and airway.
To determine if you are a good candidate for clear aligner therapy, we will gather information to develop a plan specific to you. In addition to getting information about the teeth and bite, we may discuss getting additional diagnostics like information about your sleep to understand what type of treatment may be best for you.
