If you’re wondering what the best solutions are for your teeth, here are the answers to some of the most common cosmetic dentistry questions.

How can I whiten my smile?

In most cases, porcelain veneers will be stronger than your natural teeth and also resistant to staining and discoloration. You’ll see immediate, dramatic results with veneers; a more impressive transformation than a whitening treatment could ever offer.

What’s the best solution for missing teeth?

Porcelain crowns and bridges are designed to give you a natural-looking smile and replace missing teeth – they literally “bridge the gap” created by missing teeth. Dental implants are a popular option to replace lost teeth – they offer a strong, permanent, natural-looking solution for your smile.

How can I get a straight smile without braces?

Each smile makeover is customized and, in most cases, can give you a brand new, white, natural smile in as few as two visits. Sedation dentistry enables us to carry out multiple procedures at once – you can easily bypass the months and years of treatment that braces require.

What options are available instead of dentures?

Denture-wearers often suffer with loose or ill-fitted teeth which do not allow them to feel comfortable eating or speaking in public. Dental implants are a secure, long-lasting alternative to dentures that do not use adhesives – and don’t leave you in fear of an embarrassing moment.

Can I get cosmetic dentistry even if I might have gum disease?

Life, age, decay – these factors and more can wreak havoc on your teeth, gums, and smile. But that doesn’t mean you cannot take advantage of cosmetic dentistry. Through reconstructive dentistry, you too can have a beautiful new smile.

Remember, these are very general answers to general dental problems. To get the best understanding of the kind of cosmetic dentistry your smile needs, contact us for a complimentary consultation so we can make specific recommendations for your teeth and discuss all of your options.

When you have a beautiful new smile to show off to the world, you want to keep it in tip-top shape so that you’ll always be proud to flash that grin.

Keep Your Regular Dental Appointments

As always, a good smile begins and ends with a solid foundation, so you must maintain a healthy oral hygiene regimen after your smile makeover and reconstructive dentistry are complete. This includes bi-annual visits to your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings, and this also means practicing daily brushing and flossing to protect against gum disease, cavities, or decay.

Protect Against Chipping

Your porcelain veneers and dental implants have given you a solid, strong smile, but if you happen to have an accident that results in a chipped tooth, you can take advantage of our last-time-you-pay policy. During your smile makeover, we use K7 bite evaluation and neuromuscular dentistry to prevent against tooth grinding which could otherwise damage your smile.

Avoid Tooth Discoloration

Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining and discoloration. In fact, in most cases your veneers will be stronger than your original teeth ever were. But it’s still important to take good care of your smile after you drink dark-colored or acidic beverages. Just ask us for recommendations about toothpastes and other dental care items.

You may feel like your financial situation is such that you can’t afford the cosmetic dentistry procedures you would like to have. But here’s the reality: Not investing in a better smile can actually cost you opportunities.

That interview for your dream job (with the dream salary) could go sour if you are reluctant to show your teeth. You can only leave one first impression. You don’t want people to remember you as the unsmiling applicant.

Do you work with people for a living, say, in sales or real estate… a profession where your personality, appearance, and confidence truly make a difference? Your smile – if it’s one you’re proud of – can only do you favors.

We offer a variety of financing options to make your smile makeover affordable. And, your smile makeover is a protected investment through our unique last-time-you-pay policy.
