Our Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

 

Teeth Whitening

If your teeth have become discolored talk to us and we will go over your options for brightening your smile. There are over-the-counter options, a take home kit, and an in-office procedure that typically only takes a couple hours and immediate results are seen!

 

Braces (orthodontics)

Braces are a popular and widely used way to improve your smile!  Options range from conventional braces to clear Invisalign braces. We offer Invisalign, but you’ll want to discuss what’s best for you with the dentist.

 

Dental Implants

Dental Implants replace the roots from lost teeth. An implant along with a dental crown can replace a missing tooth or teeth and is permanent and under most circumstances will last a good number of years.

 

Botox Treatment

Botox cosmetic treatments can help improve the looks of your smile by reducing moderate to severe frown lines. Asides from getting rid of those wrinkles, Botox can potentially be used to improve TMJ.

Teeth – Important Attribute Men/Women

Over 5000 single adults were surveyed about the qualities that they look for in a mate. It’s no wonder that cosmetic dentistry is so popular–teeth ranked high as one of the most important things people look for.

So there you have it, don’t neglect your teeth if you’re single—or if you’re attached; okay, we’re advocates for healthy teeth so attached or not keep good oral hygiene habits. But we’ll add this to the list of potential motivating factors. And, if you want to learn more about cosmetic dentistry options give our office a call, we can help you with that as well.
