Personalized Planning, Comprehensive Treatment
Each patient has their own definition of a beautiful smile, their own unique facial structure, and oral health needs. We take all these factors into consideration to create a personalized and comprehensive treatment plan. This results in a beautiful smile that corrects your tooth imperfections and complements the structure of your face. With this detailed treatment plan, we can help give you the smile of your dreams. Our smile makeover procedures are directly related to your needs and goals and may include:
-
Snap-on Smile®
Snap-On Smile is a convenient and affordable solution for patients interested in a straight, white smile, but do not want the cost and time associated with traditional orthodontic methods. After impressions of the teeth are taken, a customized appliance is created that “snaps” onto the teeth for an instantly beautiful smile.
-
Dental implants
Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement option that most closely mimic natural teeth. From the post that acts similarly to a tooth root to the lifelike dental crown, dental implants can effectively replace a single tooth or multiple teeth for restored tooth function and smile aesthetics.
-
Teeth whitening
Teething whitening is a simple way to provide a boost in self-confidence and enhance the appearance of the smile. The teeth are whitened in-house using a BIOLASE® laser, which can provide beautiful, long-lasting results in significantly shorter time that over-the-counter or take-home options.
-
Occlusal adjustment
Occlusal adjustments are alterations made to reshape the surface of teeth to help create a more even bite. Adjustments are carefully made with a dental drill or a small filing tool to help eliminate irregular pressure placed on certain teeth.
-
Crowns and bridges
Dental crowns and bridges fix imperfections of the teeth or replace missing teeth. Dental crowns “cap” teeth to hide discoloration and malformation, to protect a tooth after a root canal, or to restore a dental implant. Dental bridges are a series of crowns that span the empty space left by a missing tooth.
-
Inlays and onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are used to repair molars that have decay or damage that is not significant enough to require a dental crown. Inlays are used when a cavity or damage is too large for a filling and are placed inside the cusps of the teeth. Onlays cover a larger percentage of the tooth and are fitted over a portion of the tooth surface.
