Who can benefit from a smile makeover? Patients with crowded, crooked or short teeth or those with spaces between many teeth, patients with congenitally underdeveloped or disfigured teeth or an entire smile darkened and stained by tetracycline medicine.

Because this is a makeover, not just a few front teeth, we are very conscious about how each tooth restoration will effect the other. Replacing the front six or eight teeth might make the most sense when considering what most people will see when you smile, but only enhancing a few front teeth can mean those new teeth might be prone to break or chip. An esthetic makeover without proper planning and follow through is not in our patients’ best long-term interest.

Since we strive for the highest quality and long-term patient satisfaction, it is difficult to proceed unless the patient approves a comprehensive makeover when warranted. Not every patient needs a comprehensive makeover, but we want to make sure our patients get the care they deserve.

For information on the techniques we use to create a smile makeover go to restorative and esthetic sections below.

There are many reasons why one might need a full dental reconstruction. It can be because periodontal disease has destroyed supporting bone causing the loss of teeth or because of recurrent decay on multiple crowns and bridges. Maybe there are bite problems, which have caused excessive wear on the natural teeth and aggravated the TM jaw joint. Perhaps there has been traumatic injury to the mouth and teeth.

These conditions could warrant a rehabilitation of the entire mouth. Properly diagnosed, planned and executed, this type of dentistry has allowed patients to return to a comfortable, functional, stable oral health. A beautiful smile is an added benefit of this kind of dentistry. In addition, Teeth in a Day Technology allow rehabilitation and cosmetic dentstry to reverse decades of damage in about a day.

We believe patients are best served by taking advantage of our comprehensive expertise right from the beginning. If you are ready for a comprehensive approach, please call us.

Esthetic Techniques

Porcelain Veneers
A straighter, whiter, fuller smile is possible without braces and usually in two visits with veneers. These porcelain restorations are lifelike in strength, beauty and function.

Tooth Contouring/Bonding
Chipped, cracked teeth refashioned and gaps closed usually in one visit. An enamel-like resin material is molecularly bonded to your teeth, layer by layer, to form a durable, natural-like fusion.

Smile Whitening - Professional, in-office Power Teeth Bleaching using BriteSmile technology is the most researched and scientifically proven way to whiten the teeth in the shortest time and the greatest number of shades. After little over an hour, your teeth are far whiter than they ever were. Years of smoking, coffee, and age can be erased. Touch-up treatments are needed since the teeth do continue to age along with the rest of you!

Modern Orthodontics/Braces
Depending on the way a smile has developed braces might be the best and most effective solution for getting the results desired by the patient. Fortunately, straightening teeth for adults and children is faster and easier than ever before with “invisible” clear braces and “removable” braces.

Gum line Reshaping
A smile can be transformed from gummy to perfect with painless laser treatment. Our expertise in laser dentistry offers patients a high level of artistic results and comfort. 

The bacteria that cause periodontal (gum) disease and tooth decay are constantly present in our mouths. Home care is our first defense against this onslaught. However, brushing and flossing isn’t enough. That’s why we recommend a minimum of two visits each year to our office. Please read our periodontal care information below.

Our hygienist has received professional awards for her gentle and caring skills in controlling periodontal disease. Because it is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, we are diligent in our approach to making sure periodontal disease doesn’t destroy your smile. If you have noticed bleeding while brushing or flossing, you are experiencing the early stages of the disease. Please call our office and set up an appointment. We have many advanced treatments that can keep the disease from ruining your smile.

(Periodontal disease may significantly impact pregnant individuals or those with diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Individuals with periodontal disease may have significantly increased risk for heart diseases and stroke. Women with periodontitis may have increased risk for delivering pre-term, low birth weight babies. Preliminary evidence suggests that periodontal infections may also be associated with lung disease and other remote site infections.)
