WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
I just wanted to thank you for my beautiful smile. Your whole team made this whole adventure so easy for me.
As you know I have a very wide smile and have spent decades keeping my teeth in the best shape possible.Unfortunately, my smile reflected years of changing dental material and anything not gold or silver matched my existing yellow teeth. When you told me you could straighten my teeth, give me a beautiful white smileas well as correct my bite and make my teeth stronger, I could not wait to get started. It is so wonderful to see a mouthful of blended color. My new bite gives me confidence that I will no longer be chipping away my teeth and will move into my older years with a beautiful smile.
I have had so many compliments on my new smile and how much younger it makes me look. Another wonderful part of all this is that for the first time in my adult life I know I will need to spend very little time in a dental chair for years to come.
Thanks again

I just wanted to thank you for your kindness through out my process. My veneers turned out beautiful. Your entire staff makes it a joy to come there. Thanks again Traci Button --
I want to thank all of you for your kindness and consideration when I was there Thursday for almost three hour to have a crown put in. Especially, I want to thank the dentist and his assistant. I have never had a dentist explain things so carefully and try so hard not to hurt.
The new process, so it can be done in one visit is remarkable. Believe it or not I enjoyed my visit!

OUR FEATURED SERVICE
Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces) are a device used in orthodontics to correct alignment of teeth and their position with regard to bite. Braces are often used to correct malocclusions such as underbites, overbites, cross bites and open bites, or crooked teeth and various other flaws of teeth and jaws, whether cosmetic or structural. Orthodontic braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to widen the palate or jaws, create spaces between teeth, or otherwise shape the teeth and jaws. Most orthodontic patients are children or teenagers, however, recently, more adults have been seeking orthodontic treatment.
Teeth move through the use of force. The force applied by the archwire pushes the tooth in a particular direction and a stress is created within the periodontal ligament.

Cosmetic dentistry is a discipline within dentistry in which the primary focus is the modification of appearance of a patient's oral cavity and surrounding structures, in conjunction with the prevention and treatment of organic, structural, or functional oral disease. Through cosmetic dentistry, the appearance of the mouth can be altered to more closely match the patient's subjective concept of what is visually pleasing.
Today's common cosmetic dental treatment options include:
Whitening, or "tooth bleaching", is the most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure. While many whitening options are now available, dentist-supervised treatments remain the recommended procedures for lightening discolored teeth.
Enamel shaping removes parts of the contouring enamel to improve the appearance of the tooth. It may be used to correct a very small chip. The removed enamel is irreplaceable, and may sometimes expose dentin. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, recontouring, reshaping, slenderizing, and stripping.
Bonding is an option for chipped or cracked teeth. It is a process in which an enamel-like dental composite material is applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted into shape, hardened, and then polished.
Veneers, ultra-thin, custom-made laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth, are an increasingly popular procedure. They are an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that did not respond well to whitening procedures.

Veneers
This procedure is more conservative yet a highly effective way to
dramatically improve the appearance of your smile and boost your self-confidence.This is one of the quickest and most dramatic way to renovate your smile, but can be used for minor repairs only, compared to a full crown.Veneers can make crooked teeth appear straight, and can make uneven
teeth match up; correct gaps and spaces between teeth, unsightly old fittings, and whiten yellow, discolored or permanently stained teeth.Porcelain Veneers are thin, semi-transparent, natural-looking sheets of porcelain, which are bonded over the surface of the teeth.Composite Veneer is constructed from composite material, which costsless than Porcelain.
A composite laminate dental veneer is provided for attachment to the labial enamel surface of a human tooth. In one form of the invention the dental veneer comprises an outer lamination composed of stain-resistant, chemical-resistant and erosion-resistant material and an inner lamination composed of a material having the capability of efficient bonding to the labial enamel surface of the tooth and having the capability of permanent attachment to the outer lamination in such manner as to define an integral veneer mass. The outer lamination may be composed of dense, stain-resistant materials such as cross-linked polymer and various vitreous materials such as ceramic material, glass and the like. The inner lamination may be composed of a noncross-linked polymer or a porous and cellular ceramic, glass or vitreous substance. The laminate veneer also employs a color system embodying an additive color system which includes color pigments of an enamel blend and a subtractive color system which includes color pigments of a dentin color blend. These color pigments would be distributed in color centers or microdots of color that are layered within an matrix.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, is a common procedure in general dentistry but most especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many people consider white teeth to be an attractive feature of a smile. A child's deciduous teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. As a person ages the adult teeth often become darker. This darkening is due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco.
As white teeth are subconsciously associated with youth, they have become desirable. This has been made more apparent with the spread of American culture worldwide[1], where an especially white smile is coined a "Hollywood smile". The procedure to bleach teeth uses oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to lighten the shade of the tooth. The oxidising agent penetrates the porosities in the rod-like crystal structure of enamel and oxidises interprismatic stain deposits; over a period of time, the dentin layer, lying underneath the enamel, is also bleached. Tooth bleaching lasts for a period of some months, with variations from factors such as cigarette smoking, and tea and coffee consumption.
A dental restoration or dental filling is a dental restorative material used artificially to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from caries or external trauma. It is also lost intentionally during tooth preparation to improve the aesthetics or the physical integrity of the intended restorative material. Dental restoration also refers to the replacement of missing tooth structure by restoring dental implants.
Dental restorations may be fabricated out of a variety of materials, Common direct restorative materials include dental amalgam, glass ionomer cement and composite resins. Common indirect restorative materials include acrylic, porcelain, zirconia, gold and other metals.
Dental restorations can be divided into two broad types: direct restorations and indirect restorations. All dental restorations can be further classified by their location and size. If decay is spread beyond dentin, in that case root canal therapy is used, and a crown is fit.
