Which cosmetic dentistry treatment(s) present the least invasive solutions?

For cosmetic tooth enhancements, the natural enamel will need to be minimized slightly to allow for the new placement. The options of porcelain veneers and bonding require the least amount of natural tooth reduction and are considered the least invasive.

Can I have more than one problem fixed at a time?

Absolutely! Depending on your time availability and the procedures needed, you may be able to combine treatment options. However, most cosmetic and restorative options require more than one appointment. If you choose to undergo dental treatment using sedation dentistry, several treatments can be performed over a block of time during one appointment. Ask Dr. Davis about combining dental treatments during your free consultation.

What is a total smile makeover and am I a good candidate?

A total smile makeover involves the combination of two or more dental services to help you achieve a new smile. Patients may be a good candidate for a smile makeover if they have two or more of the following tooth problems: chipped teeth, cracked teeth, outdated fillings or crowns, stained teeth, crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, short or long teeth, receding gums, spaces between teeth.

Are your cosmetic dentistry solutions permanent?

All of the cosmetic dentistry services offered at the Dental Wellness Center are designed to be long-lasting and promote tooth strength. Depending on how well you take care of your teeth, and your adherence to semi-annual cleanings, your dental work can last many years. Dr. Davis will give you specific time line information during your free consultation.

How can I protect my smile investments and avoid future problems?

Home care is perhaps the most important element in maintaining a healthy and long-lasting smile. Regular brushing and flossing, combined with a healthy diet and regular dental cleanings can help keep your dental work in tip-top shape. Remember that bacteria is usually the culprit when tooth problems arise, so make sure you are only consuming sugary snacks in moderation and are brushing after meals. Also make sure that you choose an experienced dentist that is committed to providing quality treatments that can withstand daily wear-and-tear. If you want to keep teeth healthy and bright, do not smoke and try to stay away from staining foods and beverages.
