Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Take-home teeth whitening is a great option if you want to whiten your teeth without leaving the comfort of your home. You’ll get great results over the course of 2 weeks. 

We curate the whitening trays by taking impressions of your teeth and gums so that they fit comfortably in your mouth. When your personalized trays are crafted, you’ll receive our whitening product. Detailed instructions for proper use and how to care for your trays will follow. Reading and following these instructions will give you professional results.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

 In-office whitening can provide a more dramatic transformation. In just your first visit, you can significantly brighten your teeth–up to 10 shades lighter! This is a great option if you want instant results for an upcoming special occasion, or if you simply don’t want to wait to show off your brighter smile.  

To achieve these results, your dentist will apply a protective gel to your gums so that they aren’t irritated during the whitening process. Retractors are used to keep your cheeks and other soft-tissues out of harm’s way. Then a powerful whitening agent will be applied carefully to your teeth, activated by a UV light. This whitening agent will be left on your teeth for about an hour but the time varies based on your desired shade. Repeated visits may be required for those with advanced discoloration. This process can be recurrent until you achieve the results you desire, but even one visit can make a huge difference!

KöR Whitening

With KöR, you are able to whiten your teeth over the course of 2 weeks with in-home treatment, or for more instant results, we provide in-office whitening. 

Our practice is proud to provide you with the best treatment options to brighten your smile. KöR-Day™ and KöR-Night™ teeth whitening solutions have become popular choices due to their effectiveness and versatility. KöR-Night™ is both convenient and cost-effective, it whitens your teeth while you’re sleeping so that you wake up with beautiful results. KöR-Day™ is another fantastic option if you don’t want to worry about wearing it at night; it requires trays to be worn throughout the day for short lengths of time. This whitening treatment is especially convenient for those with sensitive teeth.

Patients who are seeking quick and dramatic results turn to KöR in-office whitening. This method can whiten a smile in a single appointment. This is perfect for an upcoming special occasion, or if you want to quickly whiten your smile several shades to reach your desired brightness. 

Dental Bonding, Shaping & Contouring

If you are interested in a non-invasive procedure that can revive your smile, dental bonding may be a great fit. The procedure only takes about 30-60 minutes per tooth. Your dentist will begin by applying a color-matched dental resin, designed to blend in with the rest of your smile. The resin will be carefully sculpted into your desired shape before hardening it with a UV light. This reinforces the look, feel, and function of your grin. 

Enameloplasty is a cosmetic procedure that shapes and contours the teeth, it is performed during a dental bonding. During this process, a thin layer will be removed to achieve your desired shape. 

Veneers 

Veneers are often used to eliminate any tooth imperfections. This ranges from eliminating small gaps to completely covering up stained, misshaped, or uneven teeth. They are expertly crafted out of wafer-thin porcelain shells, made to look tooth-colored and natural. 

This procedure begins with the removal of 0.5mm of enamel so the veneer can merge to the tooth. This makes it an irreversible procedure because enamel doesn’t grow back. Even so, veneers are still a highly popular procedure as they can last for up to 20 years, giving you an impeccable smile that will boost your confidence. 

Lumineers

Lumineers are an even thinner type of veneer, coming in at about 0.2mm. They are about as thick as a contact lens, meaning they are less than half the width of traditional veneers. Lumineers, like traditional veneers, are adhered to the front of your teeth to enhance your smile. They are able to fix imperfections such as discoloration, misshapes, and overall appearance. 

You may be wondering if they have a similar longevity and durability compared to traditional veneers. The answer is yes, even though Lumineers are extremely thin, they are sturdy and can last up to 10-15 years. Not as long as traditional veneers, but still a good amount of time. Primarily, patients opt for Lumineers because they don’t require the removal of your enamel to be placed. This makes them a great option if you are worried about an irreversible procedure. 

Botox & Fillers

Although Botox, or botulinum toxin, is commonly known for minimizing wrinkles, it’s also used as a cosmetic dental treatment! Dealing with discomfort from teeth grinding? Botox can actually alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorder. 

Many use Botox as a way to enhance facial features such as lips and cheeks; luckily, dentists are experts of facial anatomy, making them efficient administers of Botox. Fillers can reinvigorate skin to give it a more youthful shine. It’s also a fine solution to plump up your lips to foster your beautiful smile. 

Cosmetic Dental Makeovers

Cosmetic makeovers are specialized dental plans that address your every need to give you a smile that you are satisfied with. They utilize multiple treatments to cover everything. This is favorable because everyone has different desires and unique needs; cosmetic dental makeovers can be vastly different depending on the individual. Because it’s specially curated towards you, a variety of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures will be used to best suit your needs. 

Invisalign

Invisalign straightens your teeth without the hassle of uncomfortable metal, ceramic brackets, or wires. Invisalign is created with durable plastic called SmartTrack for the clear aligners. One of the major benefits of Invisalign is they are easily removable, so you don’t have to worry about having dietary restrictions.

The technology for Invisalign is becoming increasingly more advanced, meaning that they are capable of treating complex orthodontic solutions. Consult with your dentist and discover if Invisalign is the best option for you. 

ICON Lesion Treatment

White Spot Lesions (WSLs) are a common issue that surfaces after orthodontic treatment. They are caused by an enamel defect, infection, or trauma to the teeth. They are little white spots that form on the surface of teeth and can result in demineralization if not properly treated. 

At our practice, we provide a solution to the problem. ICON resin treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the appearance of WSLs.

To rid or “erase” your smile of these unappealing spots, we will gently remove the outer layer of enamel to apply a strengthening dental resin. The resin remineralizes the de-calcified area while evening out the shade of your tooth. You will have your smile back without a worry with our ICON resin treatment.

Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatments? 

Having good oral and overall health is the main requirement for cosmetic treatments. You are a good candidate if you meet those and are looking to improve the look of your smile.

Oral health issues like gum disease, cavities, or occlusal (bite) issues usually require restorative or orthodontic treatments before cosmetic treatment. It’s important to get an initial oral health exam before proceeding with any procedures.

Can I get more than one cosmetic dental procedure done at the same time?

arrow icon

Yes you can! In fact, it’s a common practice. Receiving multiple cosmetic treatments in one appointment makes it way more efficient to get the results you want. Some procedures, such as dental bonding and enameloplasty, go hand-in-hand. Our practice prioritizes keeping procedures as straightforward and effective as possible.

Is cosmetic dentistry covered by dental insurance?

arrow icon

Every insurance plan is different but generally, cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. Insurances typically don’t cover procedures that aren’t medical necessities. Some plans may cover veneers or crowns if they provide restorative benefits, but this is an exception rather than a rule. 

The best way to get exact details on your coverage plan is to call your insurance provider directly. However, we can provide financing options and plans; we will help you work out a solution that will give you the beautiful smile you deserve. Just give us a call so that we can help assist you.
