The Role Relaxation Plays
When you come to The Smile Center for cosmetic dentistry or any other services, we use aromatherapy and music therapy to enhance your experience. We want you to feel calm and relaxed during your dental procedures. If you feel nervous or distraught, you may experience elevated blood pressure, pulse and breathing. By diffusing high-quality essential oils, we can see patients’ conditions change before our eyes.
How Can I Achieve A Healthier, More Beautiful Smile?
Today’s dental technology offers many options. When you come to us, we’ll discuss your goals and explain what procedures might be best for you. We believe the patient must play an active part in understanding their own oral health and deciding what therapies and treatments are best for them. Healthy living is a part of oral health.
What Cosmetic Procedures Are Available?
- Veneers and crowns – If you have chipped, stained, crooked, worn down, uneven or abnormally spaced teeth, this option may be for you. We place custom-made thin shells of porcelain or composite resin for your teeth. Veneers cover the front of teeth. A crown covers the entire tooth.
- Crowns and bridges – This is an option for one or more missing teeth.
- Full mouth reconstruction – Sometimes, extensive changes and improvements are needed. In these cases, a full-mouth reconstruction involving multiple cosmetic procedures may be best. This could include dental bridges, dental crowns, fillings, dental implants, tooth extractions, veneers or other procedures. Gum repair may also be used.
- Teeth whitening – We can restore the color of your teeth to a brighter shade. If your teeth are discolored due to diet, dental injury, medications or aging, we can use a whitening gel to remove stains in our office. Alternatively, you can do it at home yourself with special trays we customize for you.
- Flowable composites – These composites “flow” into place and we then sculpt them to restore your smile. This allows us to correct a number of cosmetic flaws.
- Icon treatment – This treatment erases white spot lesions that may occur as a result of demineralization, orthodontic treatment or other reasons. It involves applying a special resin and bonding it to the tooth.
