Are You More Expensive Than Other Dentists?

Our fees are comparable to similar cosmetic dentists that rank as one of the best. However, our fees are not necessarily higher and in many instances it may be lower. We feel price shopping for cosmetic dentistry can be disastrous. No two cosmetic dental offices are alike. The level of expertise, knowledge and technology can set one apart from the rest. Before making a decision on cosmetic dentistry we urge you to come and experience what makes us unique.

What Can I Do About My Uneven Teeth?

Are the teeth overlapping each other? Are there spaces between the teeth? Is the gumline too low or too high? Have the teeth worn away because of grinding? Depending on the answers to these questions and numerous others a different approach may be necessary to correct the uneven look. After a smile consultation with our office we can get a general feel of what’s the best approach. Ultimately to accurately plan for the end result we will perform a smile makeover analysis.

What Can I Do To Change My Teeth That Are Too Small To Make Them Bigger?

There are a number of ways to correct this problem, including porcelain veneers, crowns and bonding.

Is It Possible To Change The Shape Of My Teeth Without Veneers Or Crowns?

Reshaping or cosmetic contouring is an ideal treatment for very small fractures or chips or to simply reshape what nature has given you to a more esthetically pleasing smile. Anesthesia is not necessary since we use sandpaper discs and polishing wheels to reshape teeth with a minimal loss of tooth structure. Contouring can change the smile line. If one front tooth is a little longer than the other, contouring can make them the same size. We can round off sharp corners of teeth or pointed canines, to soften their appearance. Smile symmetry can also be achieved with cosmetic contouring.

I Don’t Like My Crooked Teeth, What Are My Options?

Orthodontics for adults is very common today. Approximately 30% of our adult patients are currently receiving orthodontic treatment. You can move teeth to align them with traditional metal braces, or ceramic braces or with the invisible Invisalign system. Removable orthodontics is also available for certain cases.

Another option for giving the appearance of straight aligned teeth is to use porcelain veneers or laminates. The veneers will fill in spaces, giving an impression of perfectly aligned teeth. We refer to this as instant orthodontics. Whereas traditional orthodontics may take 1-2 years to complete, instant orthodontics can take as little as 1-2 visits.

What If I Have Missing Teeth?

There is no reason to live with missing teeth. A full set of teeth improves self -esteem, speech, digestion, and sense of taste. It makes all the other teeth last longer by reducing the stress on the remaining natural teeth. Those patients who suffer from temporomandibular disorders (TMD) often are unable to become pain free without a full set of teeth to balance musculoskeletal and dental forces.
