So What Really Is A Cosmetic Dental Procedure?
March 31, 2015
Cosmetic dentistry is a dental procedure that enhances the appearance of a patient's teeth or gums and always results in a more enhanced smile. We specialize in several ways to create a smile "makeover" that our patients have loved.
There are quite a few ways we can accomplish the result we and our patients desire.
- Dental Implants - we can replace missing teeth with these and can also hold down loose dentures with them. They are comfortable and when done correctly look just as natural as an original tooth.
- Bonding - We can improve the look of broken or discolored teeth . Also we can make teeth longer or close gaps between the teeth.
- Dental Veneers - these are custom lab fabricated thin shapes of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of anterior teeth to change the color or shape of damaged or misaligned teeth. The result is a bright beautiful natural looking smile.
- Dentures - These are also used to replace missing teeth, but unlike implants they can be removed. We can replace just a few teeth or an entire arch of teeth depending on the needs of our patient. If more support or retention is needed we can hold them tight with implants under the denture.
- Minor tooth movement - This is a very popular way to move anterior teeth without braces. We can fix or realign tipped or twisted teeth. We can also close spaces or eliminate crowding with this procedure. It takes more or less time depending on the severity of what we are trying to accomplish.
- Crowns or bridges - These are used to completely restore teeth that are severely broken or decayed and to replace missing teeth. Similar to implants they are permanent and look very natural. We can do one at a time or multiple teeth depending on what is needed to restore beauty and function.
- Teeth Whitening - A wonderful easy way to lighten teeth up with amazing results.
Cosmetic dentistry is a great service to restore the effects of wear and tear, aging, trauma, diet, and poor genetics. We can improve your smile in many ways. Take a look at our Smile Galleryto see a few transformations.

In recent years, oil pulling has gained popularity, largely thanks to social media influencers who document their experiences with the practice. While the trend is relatively new in the public eye, oil pulling itself is far from a modern phenomenon.
Resorption is a natural but sometimes problematic process where the body's own cells break down and absorb the hard tissues of the tooth. While it’s often linked to trauma, infection, or orthodontic treatments, resorption can also occur spontaneously.
Experiencing a sudden flash of pain or a mild tingling sensation when biting into sweet or sour foods or sipping hot or cold beverages? You may be dealing with sensitive teeth. This discomfort can be intermittent; however, if you’re experiencing constant pain, it could indicate a more serious underlying issue. It’s essential to discuss your symptoms with your dentist to identify the cause and find the appropriate treatment.
We are committed to serving our patients with the highest quality care available in a very relaxing and professional environment.
