Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services
ClearCorrect
Our dentists may recommend ClearCorrect if you are considering straightening your teeth and smile! This nearly invisible orthodontic treatment allows you to maintain a natural-looking smile while also properly aligning your teeth to improve their appearance.
Veneers
Dr. Garner AND Dr. Thorson may recommend porcelain dental veneers to enhance your teeth and give you a picture-perfect smile. Veneers are designed to cover the imperfections in your teeth and provide you with a natural-looking and long-lasting result so that you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come.
Teeth Whitening
One of the fastest and most effective cosmetic treatments available is teeth whitening! Professional teeth whitening can help you brighten and renew the appearance of your teeth so that you can once again enjoy a confident smile.
Bonding
One of the simplest cosmetic treatments available is dental bonding. Our dentists may recommend this treatment to improve the appearance of your teeth while also preserving your natural tooth structure. Using a composite resin material that is applied directly to the structure of your tooth, our experienced dentists can perform dental bonding to improve your smile’s aesthetic. This conservative treatment may be used to eliminate gaps and spaces between your teeth, improve the shape of irregular teeth, fill in chips or cracks, or even lighten stains or discoloration on your teeth.
Gum Contouring
If you have uneven or bulky gum tissue, our dentists may recommend cosmetic gum contouring to improve the health and appearance of your gums and smile. Your gum contouring treatment will be carefully performed to ensure your comfort as well as provide the best possible results for your smile.
