A Better Smile With a Cosmetic Dentist
A more attractive smile can be yours with Crescent City Smiles cosmetic dentistry procedures. We can correct chipped, cracked, broken, crooked, poorly spaced and discolored teeth with a wide variety of procedures and materials.
Veneers & Lumineers®
Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your smile. Veneer teeth overlays are very thin ceramic shells that cover your existing tooth structure. With new veneers, we can cover stained, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth and many other issues. The process takes approximately two to three visits. We only use the highest-standards laboratory for fabrication of all of our work. This process takes 10 to 14 days. We make every effort to ensure that your new veneers feel just like your natural teeth and you can enjoy your new smile for a very long time! Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers. They are so thin that they require almost no tooth preparation. Thanks to minimal preparation, there is little or no discomfort during this procedure, which typically requires one or two visits.
Teeth Whitening/Teeth Bleaching
Keeping teeth their whitest is harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and foods that stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them looking dull. Teeth bleaching is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter. We use Zoom!® in-office teeth whitening that takes only 45 minutes and typically whitens your smile by four to eight shades!
Smile Transitions™
Smile Transitions is great when you want a smile makeover without undergoing extensive dental procedures. We create a new set of “teeth” that are worn over your current teeth. Smile Transitions is a great option for patients with stained, chipped, cracked, crooked or missing teeth. It is made from a light, durable resin. At your first visit, we will make an impression of your teeth and send it to a lab. In about a week, you will return, be fitted with your new appliance and leave with a bright new smile. No drilling, tooth extraction, reshaping or whitening chemicals are necessary – the whole process is quick, easy and painless.
Bonding & White Fillings
Bonding is a popular way to enhance the esthetics of your smile. Bonding can correct cracks or gaps in teeth, be used as a white filling after a cavity has been removed or cover up stains and discolorations. We use a composite resin molded and sculpted over an adhesive gel that is placed on the tooth. After the resin has been applied, we use an LED light to harden the resin then polish it to give you a fresh new smile. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, bonding usually lasts 10 years or longer. It is a safe, affordable and attractive solution for many dental problems.
