Teeth Straightening
There is no need to think that a straighter smile has to be years away or only available through an orthodontist. These days, there are more teeth straightening options to choose from. You’re no longer limited to metal braces when it comes to orthodontics.
Dr. Barton is a certified partner of two of the most popular clear aligners providers in the industry. By offering both products, we can provide you with the best solution for your particular situation, aligning all of your options. And through our financing partners, we can provide an affordable solution that is right for you.
Don’t hesitate to schedule an initial consultation today. Your bright, straightened smile could be only a few short months away.
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth. Dental veneers are a very thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth structure. In placing these new porcelain veneers on your teeth, you are able to fix the look of issues affecting your natural teeth such as staining, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth, and many other problems.
In terms of the procedure to place a veneer, it is a process that takes approximately two to three visits. In the first visit, we will discuss the new shape and look of what we are going to accomplish by placing the veneers.
Once we have put a plan in place, we will carefully prepare the teeth for the placement of the new veneers. As we complete this piece of the process, the next step is to take an impression of the newly prepared teeth. This impression will be sent to our laboratory for the final product to be fabricated.
We only utilize the highest standard laboratory for fabrication of all of our work. This process at the laboratory takes between 10-14 days. While the new veneers are being fabricated at the lab, we will provide you with a beautiful temporary solution to wear for this time.
As the veneers are finalized, we will make every effort to make sure that your new veneers will feel just like your natural teeth. We will bond them into place ensuring that you can enjoy your new smile for a very long time!
Teeth Whitening
Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking, and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To whiten teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we’ll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Finally, you will take the tooth whitening gel and put it in the gel for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a whiter smile of 4 – 8 shades!
Please contact us today to see if you are a candidate for this type of teeth whitening.
Dental Bonding and White Fillings
Bonding is a popular method to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Composite bonding can be used to correct cracks or gaps in teeth, as dental fillings after a cavity has been removed, or to cover up stains or discolored teeth.
A composite resin is used on the affected tooth or teeth. It is molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied, an LED light is used to harden the resin, which is then polished to give you a fresh, new smile.
With the advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts for over 10 years. It is a safe, affordable, and attractive solution for many dental problems.
Tooth Restorations
Sometimes things happen to our natural teeth that result in tooth loss. When you’ve sustained an injury or when dental work isn’t enough to save your natural tooth or teeth, replacement may be your best option. Thankfully, there are several different types of cosmetic treatments available as tooth restorations.
These days, more than ever, a false tooth can look just as natural as your other teeth. We can accomplish this using dental implants, dental crowns, or bridges using porcelain teeth. Each option has its own unique benefits. Speak with our dentists to find out which option is right for you.
