Cosmetic Dentistry

Our dentists have invested in state-of-the-art dental technology to provide our patients with the beautiful smiles of their dreams. Our technology includes CEREC® same-day crowns, digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and oral cancer screenings.

Dental implants

The All-on-4® treatment concept is a contemporary restoration that has revolutionized the way surgeons and dentists think of replacing a full set of teeth. Standard dentures are unsecured prostheses with inherent limitations. Most often, dentures are painful, inconvenient and unstable. Such dentures can make chewing foods difficult, limiting the foods that you once enjoyed. Modern dentistry can help with implant supported dentures.

The All-on-4® treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full dental bridge supported by dental implants. Fewer implants are needed and overall treatment time and cost is reduced. The unique All-on-4® solution also ensures greater stability in the bone, reducing the need for bone graft surgery to increase bone volume. Implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Crowns and Bridges

Are you missing a tooth or multiple teeth? If so, Dr. Doe may recommend a dental bridge or dental crown. These restorations both replace missing teeth, but they do so in different ways.

Bridges are a permanent restoration, whereas crowns are fixed temporarily. A dental bridge is cemented to the natural teeth on each side of the missing tooth. A dental crown is cemented over the entire tooth to protect a weakened tooth from further damage.

Lumineers

Lumineers, or porcelain veneers, are ultra-thin shells that cover your natural teeth to give you the smile you’ve always wanted. They’re made from a translucent porcelain material, so they blend in seamlessly with your teeth. These porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about them getting darker if you drink coffee, tea, or wine.

Veneers

One of the greatest benefits of veneers is their versatility. Every veneer is custom-made to match the size, shape, color, and translucency of your natural teeth. Your veneers will blend in seamlessly with your smile, creating a flawless, natural-looking appearance.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are an excellent long-term option for replacing missing teeth. In addition to being the most natural-looking, they also help to preserve the bone in the jaw. When a tooth is lost, the bone begins to weaken. This can cause other teeth to shift or loosen, and can lead to further tooth loss (and more bone loss).

Orthodontics

Advanced dental technology includes orthodontics, implants, and digital dentistry. Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that focuses on aligning the teeth and jaws to improve function and appearance. Traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners are both effective options for aligning teeth.

Dental implants are dental appliances that replace missing teeth. They are typically designed to replace one or more teeth, but they can be used to replace all of the teeth for a full-arch restoration. Implants prevent future bone loss in the jaw and preserve the facial structure.

Endodontics

Endodontic treatments involve the pulp (containing nerves and blood vessels) inside the tooth, and the root (containing the nerves and blood vessels). The pulp and nerves can become infected or inflamed; this often leads to severe tooth pain. Endodontic treatment can relieve this pain.

Laser dentistry

Laser dentistry makes dental treatments more accurate and more comfortable for patients. Lasers can be used on many different parts of your mouth. Lasers can be used to prepare a tooth for fillings, remove decay, remove excess gum tissue, reshape gums, and for teeth whitening.

Digital Smile Design

Digital Smile Design is an advanced dental technology that allows patients to preview their smile makeover results before their treatment even starts!

During your initial consultation, your cosmetic dentist will examine your smile to recommend the ideal smile makeover options. After discussing your personalized treatment plan, your dentist will design your new smile. Using the advanced digital smile design software, your dentist will design your smile using photos, digital X-rays, and digital impressions. This technology allows your dentist to design a smile that is uniquely yours!

One technology that has dramatically advanced dental technology is VELscope®. With this technology, dentists can instantly screen for oral cancer, giving them the ability to catch this potentially fatal condition early. Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the country, affecting over 30,000 Americans every year. VELscope® oral cancer screening allows dentists to screen for oral cancer in just 2 minutes, with 90% accuracy.

VELscope® oral cancer screening is also extremely convenient. With the VELscope®, your dentist can easily screen for oral cancer right in his or her office. During the 2-minute screening, your dentist will look into your mouth with a blue light that’s capable of detecting abnormal tissue. Using this technology, your dentist will be able to detect abnormal tissue in your mouth, even if that tissue hasn’t yet developed into cancer.
