Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain veneers are handcrafted, custom-made, thin shells of dental porcelain placed on your front teeth. They are stain resistant and custom-tinted to blend with surrounding teeth. Veneers can dramatically transform your smile by correcting flaws like:
Chips | Gaps | Cracks | Misalignment | Stains

Your dentist will meet with you in a consultation to discuss your ideal smile and then create a custom design for your porcelain veneers. He or she will then secure temporary veneers to your teeth while a ceramist fabricates your one-of-a-kind restorations in our Jackson dental lab. Once the veneers are ready, you’ll return to our office so the dentist can remove your temporaries and place the final veneers.

Chips, stains, gaps, and cracks on your front teeth can easily detract from an otherwise attractive appearance. But if you’re hesitant about investing in dental veneers, consider cosmetic bonding instead. Although bonding doesn’t last as long as veneers, it is generally faster and less expensive than bonding. Plus, like veneers, bonding resists stains, so it holds its natural-looking color.

Your dentist will use the same custom-tinted, liquid resin used for white fillings for the procedure. Once he or she has prepared your tooth or teeth, your dentist will tint the resin to blend with the existing tooth enamel and apply it as needed. A soft light will then harden the substance, and your dentist will sculpt and polish the newly shaped tooth so it looks completely natural.

Braces are most associated with middle school and high school aged children, but today more and more adults are turning to orthodontics to restore, refine or improve the look and function of their teeth. Clear aligning trays, such as Invisalign, or traditional braces with clear or tooth-colored brackets are great ways to achieve the look you desire.

Depending on your needs, your dentist may recommend functional orthodontics, as well as cosmetic orthodontics, to reposition your teeth to enhance your appearance. Traditional braces involve brackets glued to your teeth and a wire that gently forces the teeth into proper alignment. Clear braces can refer to clear brackets and wires or completely acrylic aligners, much like a retainer, that move teeth. Your dentist will recommend the best solution for your teeth and lifestyle.

Teeth Whitening or bleaching is a very safe and effective way to improve the color of the teeth. Dental offices can offer stronger and more effective concentrations of whitener, resulting in a more significant improvement in color than over-the-counter products.

We can make you custom fitted whitening trays that allow our professional strength whiteners to brighten the teeth several shades, uniformly, comfortably and on your schedule, at home.
