Our cosmetic dentists have been doing “Extreme Makeovers”
for more than 20 years. They work closely with numerous plastic
surgeons, dermatologists, aestheticians, make-up artists, and
hair stylists to give their patients the brilliant smiles (and
self-confidence) they have always wanted.
Technology
Our
office boasts all the latest in high-tech dental equipment.
We are one of the few offices in the world that has its own
in-house dental ceramic laboratory with two full-time technicians.
Having our own laboratory allows us to make thin porcelain veneers
that are natural and beautiful, which means little or no grinding
(and no shots) during your procedure! Our cosmetic dentists
also utilize laser-scans to find any decay or weak spots before
they cause a serious problem.
Cosmetic
Imaging
Our
cosmetic dentists have been using cosmetic imaging in-house
since 1986 and garnered national attention when Jeanie Moos
featured it on CNN. Cosmetic imaging is an advanced technology
designed to create a new smile, or a whole new look, before
a cosmetic procedure even begins.
Cosmetic
imaging allows you to see what you might look like with a different
smile. It consists of a computer, a monitor, and a graphics
pad the dentist uses to “draw” your new smile. Our
cosmetic dentists understand that everyone is different, so
every patient is allowed the opportunity to design his or her
own “smile personality” before deciding on the appropriate
procedure.
During
computer imaging, our cosmetic dentist takes a photo of you
and your smile and loads it into the special software. A picture
of your smile is brought up on the screen, and the dentist fashions
the look you desire on the monitor. If you don't know exactly
what you want, the cosmetic dentist will create several different
looks for you to “try on” so you can decide which
one you like best.
Computer
imaging is also an excellent tool for EXTREME MAKEOVERS because
it can modify other features of your face, including reducing
the size of your nose or erasing wrinkles. Most of the plastic
surgeons our dentists work along side use this technology. This
allows our cosmetic dentists to create a smile to see approximately
what you will look like after your cosmetic procedure is complete.
If
you have been considering a cosmetic dentistry procedure but
have been afraid to take the next step, cosmetic imaging may
be perfect for you.
