People notice a beautiful smile. It is one of the most important social links we have. When a person is confident about their smile, they exude confidence and that is a very attractive feature. In fact 74% of Americans feel that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances of career success. With some small steps, a dentist can help create radical changes in the way you look and give you the courage to take on more challenges. A few ways we can help:

– Immediately re-balance slightly irregular shaped teeth through enamel shaping and contouring

– Camouflage stains, gaps, chipped or cracked teeth with dental bonding or veneers.

– Reshape an uneven gum line to make short teeth appear longer

– Restore one or more teeth with crowns, bridges or implants

– Lighten discolored teeth with professional whitening- get up to 8 shades brighter in an hour.

One of the more common complaints we hear is about old dental work. Silver fillings can give teeth a grey discoloration, which can worsen over time. A gray ridge can also be seen sometimes around older crowns that have a metal substructure. With today’s new materials, we can quickly replace your old crowns and fillings.

If you find yourself covering your smile, drop that hand and call us for a consultation. We can transform your teeth and have you smiling again in no time!
