Cosmetic Dentistry and Esthetic Enhancements
About Cosmetic Dentistry
Whether you require teeth whitening, bonding or veneers, we will assess your cosmetic needs, and recommend the best treatment options to ensure that you leave our offices with a beautiful, natural and long-lasting smile.
Non-Invasive Esthetic Enhancements
Today, there are many types of filling materials, including silver amalgam, gold, plastic, porcelain, and resin, to name the most commonly available, and the cost of each varies. Some are considered unattractive and even unhealthy. In our practice, we use a composite resin that is biocompatible as the number one choice. Composite resin is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed teeth. This material requires only minimal tooth structure removal and is bonded to the tooth with excellent esthetic results. We follow the philosophy of conservative dentistry to restore an unhealthy tooth using only the least invasive method to maintain your natural smile.
Esthetic Bondings
We use many minimally invasive techniques to enhance the natural beauty of your teeth. Esthetic bonding is another way for us to perfect your smile. It's a procedure of sculpting resin that is attached to your teeth in order to restore or enhance them. With this technique, we use a biocompatible resin to fill in gaps or simply repair irregularities that exist, such as gaps, decayed and chipped teeth, uneven teeth or replacing aged discolored white fillings. This process can be completed in a single visit. After we shape and match the color of the attachment to your tooth, you will be on your way with the confidence in a perfectly natural smile. There is one important difference when we recommend esthetic bonding over veneers, and crowns: we do not change tooth integrity – we do not remove any existing tooth structure in the process of bonding so your existing tooth is completely unaffected and completely preserved. This technique is unique and developed by Dr. Urbankova.
Veneers
Veneers are another esthetic technique to enhance your smile. As the term suggests, veneers add a layer onto an existing structure, your teeth, in this case, in order to improve your smile. We use the highest quality porcelain veneers that will match your natural teeth and shape of your mouth; so you’ll never know that there is a thin layer of porcelain veneer covering a section of your teeth. Veneers however require some alteration to existing tooth structure.
Smile Assessment
Did you know you can improve your smile?
If you would like to enhance your smile, we can give you a consultation on how we can transform your smile without a wide range of costly dental treatments. We can give you an expert opinion on what treatments may suit your needs. All we need are some close-up photos that you can send us via email.
Teeth Whitening
Our nurses attempt to return patient calls on the same day received; however, because of the high volume of calls that we receive, any messages taken after 4:00 p.m. will be returned the NEXT business day. Phone calls are returned in the order they are received. Please do not call more than once.
If you call the office after hours or during the weekend, your call will be forwarded to the staff member on call. Please be aware that if you leave a voicemail during this time to please say your phone number slowly and clearly.
Please refrain from talking on your phone in the waiting room and when the nurse or provider is in the exam room. Please keep phones in silent/vibrate mode.
