These before and after photos of patients will give you some
idea of the variety of looks that are achieved with
today’s dental techniques and procedures. We can change your smile
in many ways, giving you an attractive and natural look that will
make you feel more confident.
Reconstructive Dentistry to Replace Missing Teeth
Painful
or broken and ugly teeth can be restored with root canals and crowns, or
may be removed and replaced with implants, bridges; or full or partial
dentures. Diseased and infected teeth, left untreated, become a danger
to overall health. It is not too late! Immediate dentures, implants, and
bridges have changed the lives of many.
Orthodontics
Children,
teens, and adults can benefit from braces. At the Smile Center we are
excited about our program of early orthodontic intervention. Correction
of problems at an early stage can prevent more complex problems in the
teen and adult years. We offer monthly payment plans with no down
payment.
Tooth Whitening
Whiten
while you sleep. Custom made whitening trays allow you to
lighten the color of your teeth in the comfort of your home. We
work with one of the most effective and easy to use of the
lightening products available today. It is dispensed only in
dental offices. Our patients have seen results within days.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite
restorations replace old black mercury amalgams. These beautiful
restorations match your own natural teeth in shape and color. Studies
show that composites can actually strengthen original tooth structure.
Some patients report an improvement in overall health when mercury is
removed from their mouths.
Dental Implants provide a
Long-lasting Solution
For
those who are missing teeth, implants help restore health and beauty to
your smile. Implants are attached to your jawbone unlike dentures or
traditional bridges. Dental implants look and feel more like your own
teeth. Adequate bone in the jaw is needed to support your new implant,
and the ideal candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of
periodontal diseases.
Today's Dentures are Better
than Ever!
Dentures
are used to replace missing teeth. Consisting of replacement teeth, a
plastic gum area and either metal clasps or other attachments, partials
can make eating and speaking easier for people who are missing some of
their teeth. Partials are removable and that makes them easier to clean
and care for. We offer both full and partial dentures.
Veneers & Bonding
For
chips, stains, or to change the length or shape of healthy teeth, many
patients choose veneers or bonding. Veneers are thin porcelain tooth
covers customized in the dental laboratory. Although not as durable and
long lasting, composite bonding is a less expensive way of correcting
cosmetically imperfect teeth.
Beautiful Smiles for a Lifetime
Regular
dental prophylaxis (cleaning, polish), fluoride treatments, oral hygiene
instruction, and nutritional counseling can assure you of a lifetime of
great oral health. The ADA recommends that dental hygiene appointments
and periodic examinations be scheduled at least twice a year.
It
is estimated that approximately 85% of adult Americans suffer from some
form of periodontal (gum) disease. It is a silent disease, but if left
untreated teeth can become loose, infected, and eventually fall out. Gum
disease is a serious threat to oral and overall health. When diagnosed
early enough, periodontal disease can be treated.
