Veneers

This is it: the smile you've always wanted! You may have seen Dr. Smith perform one of his amazing smile makeovers on ABC 25 Extreme Makeover Columbia. Now it's time for your very own smile makeover. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. The process is straightforward and can correct years of discoloration as well as misshapen and poorly aligned teeth. The results are phenomenal. Come and experience for yourself what a fabulous smile can do for you!

Whitening

If having a brighter, whiter smile is something you’ve always dreamed about, now is the time to act. After a brief consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for whitening, you can select from two different whitening systems. A take-home system allows you to monitor your own progress. Our new in-office ZOOM system let’s you walk out with a whiter, brighter smile in one appointment. You’ll be amazed at the results!

Bonding

Tooth perfection is just a visit away. Chips, cracks, breakage, discoloration and minor gaps between teeth can be fixed easily and seamlessly with composite bonding. Composite resin is applied to the problem area, shaped and cured. Composite resins, matched to your tooth color, are undetectable and long-lasting. You’ll love the results!

Composite Restorations

Fillings needn’t be eyesores – new materials make tooth repairs imperceptible. Composite materials look and feel just like tooth enamel, meaning fillings and corrections appear completely natural. Recent technical advances have made composites suitable for filling molars as well as front teeth, so your whole mouth can look fresh and new.

Crowns

Rejuvenate tired teeth. Teeth with large fillings, breakage, discoloration or even odd shapes can be restored with crowns, tooth-shaped caps that cover the entire tooth surface. Crowns may be made of metal, porcelain, resin or a combination. Modern methods and materials make crowns nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth and they are the best way to prevent loss of weakened teeth.

Bridges

Restore your smile to health. When you are missing teeth, remaining teeth may be weakened and damaged, you may be more susceptible to gum disease and have difficulty chewing – even the shape of your face can change. A bridge, one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent teeth or implanted into the jaw, will restore your smile, protect your dental health and maintain your facial structure.
