How does the

continues to pursue additional educational hours every year to ensure

Can you show
me what my smile can look like ahead of time with imaging software?
Dental imaging allows us to help our
patients visualize the overall results of cosmetic and restorative
work. We will sit down and discuss with you what you hope to achieve,
take a variety of photographs of your current smile and enter all
of that information into our computer system. We can then generate
a graphic image that will accurately demonstrate how your procedure
will affect your smile.

I want my
front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What
would you recommend?
We can provide a number of ways for
you to improve the appearance of your front teeth without braces.
For slightly crooked or unevenly worn teeth, a bit of reshaping and
the addition of porcelain veneers may be sufficient to give them
a bright, uniform look. In other cases, it may be necessary to attach 'invisible' braces
behind the front teeth. We would be happy to talk with you further
about the option that best suits your individual situation.

How can I
safely whiten my teeth?
There are a number of procedures available
to help whiten your smile, from at-home whitening products to in-office
supervised treatments. Our team will discuss with you the options
available and help you determine what treatment will be the most
effective for your individual circumstances.

lip line and phonetics. Every person has a unique "perfect" smile;
one proportional and flattering to your face. With Smile Analysis,
we can show you what your personal best smile can look like.

Design?
