Cosmetic Dentistry
Whether you need a complete smile makeover or simply want to whiten your smile, we can help you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile of your dreams.
Veneers
A thin porcelain covering, veneers can be layered onto teeth to mask unattractive
chips,
cracks,
discolorations, or
stains. Their transparency allows light to reflect from the tooth beneath the veneer, so your smile will look naturally beautiful. Veneers can be a great alternative to braces for slight orthodontic problems, and they create a
beautiful smile in a short amount of time.
Teeth Whitening
We use a variety of teeth whitening techniques, including Zoom! Whitening, to make your teeth their whitest and brightest. Zoom! Whitening is the revolutionary in-office process that whitens your teeth in
about an hour. For whiter teeth over time, easy-to-use teeth whitening kits can give you a whiter, brighter smile in four to six weeks. Yearly touch ups at a minimal expense will maintain your color indefinitely. Both procedures have little discomfort and produce beautiful results.
Call our office to learn more about your teeth whitening options.
Bonding
Bonding is a composite material that we layer onto a tooth to fill gaps, cover cracks, or fill in chips. After the bonding has cured, we’ll sculpt the composite material to compliment your smile. The process is similar to veneer application, but bonding is not quite as strong. However, it is an inexpensive and conservative option to improve your smile. Bonding is good for children who have chipped front teeth or for adults who would like an alternative to veneers.
Metal-Free Restoration
Inlays and onlays are tooth-colored restorations used in place of traditional silver fillings (also called amalgams). In recent years, this approach has gained popularity with patients seeking a more attractive alternative to controversial amalgams with potentially hazardous mercury content. Tooth-colored fillings also maintain the
natural whiteness of a patient’s smile.
Crowns and Bridges
E. Robert Dick, DMD & Associates is known for the excellent restorative dental care that we provide our patients. If your teeth are damaged or decayed, we can construct crowns to restore all or most of the affected tooth. For missing teeth, a bridge can restore your complete smile by filling unsightly gaps. Our technology provides color matching, so your crowns and bridges will blend seamlessly with your current tooth shade. With
CEREC technology, we can mill your permanent crown in about an hour and place it
immediately, so you don't have to hassle with a follow-up visit or temporary crown.
