Veneers

Veneers are one of the most comprehensive and versatile cosmetic treatments around, and they can be used to address almost all types of aesthetic issues in teeth. They’re thin coverings made from beautiful, natural-looking materials like porcelain, which are carefully bonded to the outer surfaces of teeth to perfectly mask any noticeable flaws. Though the process of receiving veneers requires a small amount of enamel to be removed from the teeth, this ensures that once they’ve been bonded, they lie flush with the rest of the teeth.

Metal-Free Restorations

In the past, most types of dental restorations were made from a combination of various metal alloys, often simply called “metal amalgam” fillings. You may know someone with one of these metal restorations; they tend to be quite noticeable whenever a person shows off their smile. Our office is proud to offer a much more aesthetically pleasing alternative: metal-free restorations. Made from durable, beautiful materials, these solutions blend in perfectly with the surrounding teeth while offering all the same, as well as additional benefits, as their metal counterparts.

KöR Teeth Whitening

Teeth can become stained for a wide variety of reasons – some of which are entirely within our control, and others that we cannot do anything about. However, regardless of how their discoloration occurs, teeth can be made to look bright and beautiful once more with the help of teeth whitening treatments. We proudly offer in-office whitening treatments through KöR, as well as take-home kits that will allow you to whiten on your own schedule.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is often considered a quick and affordable fix for various types of minor dental flaws, including things like chips and cracks, misshapen teeth, stubborn areas of staining, or even gaps and spaces between the teeth. It involves the use of a special composite resin that can be shaded and shaped to fit over teeth, completely masking any present flaws and ensuring a natural look. It’s capable of lasting for several years under ideal care, and it can easily and affordably be reapplied when needed.

Gum Recontouring

Our teeth are not the only part of our smiles – the gums are also present and have the important job of helping to secure our teeth! That said, gum tissue can also have an impact on our smile’s appearance. Some patients have what’s known as a gummy smile, meaning there is excess gum tissue covering up the chewing surfaces of the teeth. However, these uneven gum lines are fairly quick and easy to address with the help of a treatment called gum recontouring. Using our diode soft tissue laser, Dr. Waite can gently reshape the gum line as needed, safely removing excess tissue and evening things out.

BOTOX

Recently, BOTOX has seen a huge surge in popularity, but this treatment has been used by dentists for quite some time to help patients achieve more attractive smiles. These minimally invasive injections can be used to paralyze certain facial muscles, which in turn can serve as an effective means of erasing fine facial lines and wrinkles! BOTOX can also be used to address TMJ pain, depending on the circumstances.

Smile Makeovers

Some patients worry that they have far too many aesthetic flaws in their smile to even seek out cosmetic dentistry – but smile makeovers are designed with these patients in mind! Dr. Waite will meet with you to discuss your goals before coming up with a highly personalized treatment plan that utilizes numerous cosmetic, and sometimes restorative, treatments to help you achieve your dream smile. These treatments are combined, customized, and streamlined as needed, meaning it’s a much better option than seeking out cosmetic solutions one at a time!
