Our Cosmetic Dentistry Services

“Cosmetic dentistry” is often touted today by dental offices as a form of advertising. Drs. Carothers and Carothers do not agree with this form of marketing because they believe that in today’s world, all dentistry should be cosmetic and should enhance the patient’s appearance. They also recognize that what is a priority to one patient may not be an issue at all to another. They believe that each patient should be treated as an individual, and they will provide you with all of the most current techniques and options for improving your dental health and enhancing your smile. If the appearance of your teeth is a concern to you, we would love to help!

Teeth Whitening

Drs. Carothers and Carothers have made it their goal to bring out the best version of your smile. One of the easiest and most effective ways to make your smile just as radiant as you are is through our Teeth Whitening dental services. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment done right in our dental office by one of our cosmetic dental associates or even from your very home. The process takes about 40 minutes in the office. Just make a dental appointment with us to discuss the best whitening dental treatment plan for you.

Veneers

Veneers are a cosmetic treatment that helps to improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Each veneer is placed without damaging your natural tooth. Veneers are bonded to your teeth to change the shape, size, length and overall function of your teeth. Porcelain Veneers are different than dental crowns in the way that they do not cover the entire surface of the patient’s tooth. Veneers can be a great permanent fix for stained teeth.

Crowns

What many people do not know is that while Crowns are used in restorative dentistry, they can also be used in cosmetic dentistry. A Dental Crown can be used in the same way that Veneers are used but the difference is in the way that Dental Crowns are shaped as well as how they are bonded to the tooth. They can also be placed after a root canal to strengthen a fragile tooth as a form of preventive dentistry, to ensure the tooth does not cause you issues in the future. The dental crown is a lot more permanent and can be more versatile since it can be used to improve a patients overall oral health while also being one of the many cosmetic dental services provided by our cosmetic dental associates.

Dental Implants

If you have had teeth removed, Dental Implants can be a great option. Rather than covering your missing tooth with dentures or a removable appliance such as a bridge, a more permanent option is getting dental implants in place of the tooth or teeth that were removed. Dental implants can improve your overall dental health as well as the health of your gums because they allow for teeth that have gotten infected past the point of saving to be “restored” in a way that feels and functions as if the tooth was never removed. The procedure is dental work that starts with a tooth extraction, and then the dental implant is placed in the patient’s mouth.
