Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic Dentistry enhances, improves or changes the appearance of your teeth. Your appearance is very important. People place judgments on you based on the way you look.What you look like is not only how you dress, but also what your teeth look like when you smile. When you talk to someone, that person will focus on your face - eyes and teeth. They will form opinions about you based on what they see. If you have a natural looking mouth, teeth and smile people will notice that fact. If you have visible cavities, unsightly defective fillings, gum disease, crooked or misshapen teeth, people will notice that too. And their impression of you will be affected. The judgment based on your appearance may be superficial and not who you really are. But it will affect how people think of you.

The term cosmetic dentistry is a little misleading because some procedures that fall under this term are not strictly performed for cosmetic purposes. A fixed bridge, for example, may be used to correct a bite problem rather than repair stained or chipped teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can have beneficial health as well as psychological benefits. After all, when you look good, you feel good.

Your smile is an important part of your being.

Every patient really has the same 3 basic desires -

1) make my teeth look good

2) make my teeth feel good

3) make them strong, healthy, and last a long time.

Many dentists use some elements of cosmetic dentistry to accomplish the ‘looking good’ part of the equation. The extent to which your dental wishes are granted depends entirely on the training, equipment, and the experience of the Cosmetic Dentist. We repair the ravages of time, wear and tear, accidents, and disease. I pride myself on the expertise and skill of my team, and we work (according to our patients) ‘near miracles’ to restore both the appearance and function of their teeth. We straighten teeth, we replace teeth, and we refinish teeth to match the best your natural teeth have ever looked. It is entirely possible to take 20 years off a patient’s appearance. Frequently, we can even put what Mother Nature gave you to shame. I happen to think you deserve it!
