Cosmetic Dentistry
You now have choices that can help you smile with confidence.
A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of a face. With dentistry's many advances, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth.

Even the most subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference in the way you look and feel about yourself. Premier Dental can talk to you about the options most suitable for you. Some options are: |

Dental Tooth Whitening (Bleaching) brightens teeth that are discolored or stained. Bleaching may be done completely in the dental office or the dentist may dispense a system for you to use at home.
Dental Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them. With bonding, tooth-colored materials are applied, or bonded, to the tooth surface.
Enamel shaping involves modifying teeth to improve their appearance by removing or contouring enamel. The process, which often is combined with bonding, usually is quick and comfortable and the results can be seen immediately.
Dental Veneers are thin custom-made shells designed to cover the front side of teeth. Made of tooth-colored materials, veneers are used to treat spaces between teeth and teeth that are chipped or worn, permanently stained, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.
Braces (Orthodontia) or Invisalign ® are not just for kids. Orthodontics may be needed if teeth are crooked, crowded or do not meet properly. If your dentist thinks you should see a specialist for treatment, he or she will refer you to an orthodontist.
Dental Implants are a safe, effective and permanent way to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant is a small, titanium post placed into the jawbone. A custom-made porcelain tooth (or set of teeth) is attached to the implant. The final dental implant restorations will look completely natural and blend with your surrounding teeth.
Porcelain Veneers are thin and much stronger than the composite veneer, so the risk of fracture as compared with composite veneers is much less. However, if a fracture does occur, repairing it is more difficult and may result in the veneer having to be remade.
Dental Crowns can repair extensively damaged teeth. Crowns can be made of metals, porcelain, or a combination of porcelain and metal.
Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace lost or irreparably damaged teeth. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth are remaining.
