Teeth whitening
Our teeth whitening solutions will brighten your beautiful smile and remove unflattering stains from your teeth! Teeth whitening is one of the fastest and most noticeable ways to improve your smile. Additionally, we recommend scheduling regular cleanings with us to help maintain your new white teeth. To learn about our whitening procedure, visit Teeth whitening.
Tooth bonding
Dental bonding involves using a tooth-colored resin to resolve or hide any minor defects. If your tooth’s discoloration resists our whitening treatment, we may offer you tooth bonding solutions. If you have minor chips or tooth damage, we will use tooth bonding to fix these issues. To learn about repairing your teeth using bonding, visit Tooth bonding.
Porcelain veneers
For a more dramatic smile makeover, we offer porcelain veneers to alter the shape of your natural teeth. Our veneers consist of porcelain shells that Dr. Huckin adheres to the surface of teeth. If you have a large gap between your teeth, this solution can especially benefit you! To learn about our porcelain veneer services, visit Porcelain veneers.
Dental implants
Dental implants offer a lasting solution for lost teeth. They are titanium posts that integrate with your jawbone to support artificial teeth. Implants can restore natural function and act as a solid base for dental crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Your Cosmetic Dental Consultation
To begin your journey to better oral health, you will first consult with Dr. William Huckin. During your cosmetic dental consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals with Dr. Huckin. He will give you his professional opinion on the current condition of your teeth and then recommend the best treatments.
Dr. Huckin must examine your teeth, gums, and jaw structure before he can recommend cosmetic dental treatments. After this consultation, you will be able to make an informed decision on how to proceed. Dr. Huckin will then create a smile makeover treatment plan that will include your budget, approved treatments, and timeline.
Our goal with a smile makeover is to give you the teeth you want while supporting the best interest of your oral health. The best way to achieve this is to address all underlying dental problems before providing a cosmetic procedure. This way, we are ensuring that your results last a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cosmetic dentists fill cavities?
Cosmetic dentists can definitely fill cavities. They have training in all aspects of general dentistry, including cavity treatment. Many dentists offer tooth-colored fillings that blend with your natural teeth. Cosmetic dentists often use advanced techniques for a more aesthetic result. Additionally, they might suggest options like inlays or onlays for larger cavities.
How often should I whiten my teeth?
You should whiten your teeth about once a year to maintain a bright smile. However, this can vary depending on your eating, drinking, and smoking habits, which can cause stains. Moreover, over-whitening can lead to tooth sensitivity and enamel damage. It’s important to follow your dentist’s recommendations. Regular cleanings and good oral hygiene also help keep your teeth white longer.
How long does tooth bonding take?
Tooth bonding is a quick procedure. Dentists usually complete it in a single visit. The actual bonding process takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. More complex cases might require a bit longer. We start by prepping the tooth and applying the bonding material. Then, we shape it and use a special light to harden it. You’ll leave the office with your new smile the same day. It’s one of the fastest ways to improve your teeth’s appearance.
Do they shave your teeth for bonding?
For tooth bonding, dentists usually do minimal or no teeth shaving. They may roughen the surface slightly to help the bonding material adhere better. This process is much less invasive than procedures like veneers or crowns. Bonding is a conventional way to improve the appearance of your teeth with minimal alteration to the natural tooth structure.
Do porcelain veneers stain over time?
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining. They are high-quality ceramics that don’t absorb pigments easily. As a result, your coffee or red wine habit won’t discolor them like natural enamel. However, the edges where the veneer meets the tooth can sometimes pick up stains. Regular brushing and dental cleanings help prevent this.
While veneers don’t stain, your natural teeth might. This can create a color mismatch over time. Good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups keep your smile bright and uniform.
How many teeth do you need for dental implants?
You can get a dental implant to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch. For a single missing tooth, one implant and a crown will suffice. If multiple teeth are missing, a few strategically placed implants can support a bridge or denture. Four to six implants per arch can usually support a full-arch prosthesis for a full set of teeth. Your dentist will determine the number you need based on your needs and jawbone condition.
