There are myriad options for replacing missing teeth with dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants comprising the three most popular. Each of these options has its advantages and disadvantages, but which is right for you?

Who doesn't want a whiter smile? Although you can find a number of over-the-counter products that claim to brighten teeth, most patients require professional treatment to achieve the results they want.

Porcelain veneers are among the most effective and versatile options for improving your smile. Not only can they make your teeth whiter, but they can also improve the shape of individual teeth.

If you needed heart surgery, would you go to your primary care physician, or to a cardiac surgeon who specializes in the procedure? The answer seems obvious. Your primary care physician diagnoses illnesses, writes prescriptions, and does a lot of work to help keep you healthy. However, some procedures require a specialist.

When you trust a dentist to restore your smile, you want to be confident you're getting the best care possible. With the plethora of options available, that can be hard to do. How do you know you're in good hands?

Can My Teeth Be Fixed In One Dentist Visit?

If your teeth are discolored or misshapen, your entire life may be affected. Hiding unsightly teeth causes you to smile less, which can have a, impact on how you're perceived in professional and social situations. This can have a real effect on your self-confidence.

Lab-created cosmetic restorations such as porcelain veneers and dental crowns are made of materials that naturally resist staining. When properly cared for through brushing and professional cleanings, some restorations can maintain their bright and stain-free appearance for several years. The stain resistance of lab-created restorations, combined with their incredible strength and durability, have made them an obvious choice for decades.

If you are missing one or more teeth, replacing them is incredibly important. Failure to replace teeth can allow adjacent teeth to slip out of place and permanently alter your bite. Worse still, left unaddressed and missing teeth can lead to the collapse of the jaw, forever changing your jawline and producing shrunken facial features.
