Dr. Shanard’s routinely customizes and combines cosmetic dentistry treatments to produce the exact solutions her patients need - and the results that they deserve. Our cosmetic dentistry options include:
If you want to smile broadly but avoid doing so because of chipped, broken, or discolored teeth, then we have the ultimate solution for you in porcelain veneers.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are custom crafted by a highly skilled dental ceramist to exact specifications provided by Dr. Shanard. They are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to conceal aesthetic imperfections and to improve the shape, color, or position of teeth. The color, size, shape, and texture of your veneers will be chosen either to match your natural teeth or to complement the results of other cosmetic procedures as part of a comprehensive smile makeover.
In most cases, genetics determine the color of your teeth. Teeth also darken as we age, in addition to becoming discolored by exposure to such staining agents as tobacco, certain medications and foods, and beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Fortunately, cosmetic teeth whitening allows for the removal of years of dark color from your teeth. If you want to achieve a youthful, healthy, and bright smile, whitening can help.
In our dedicated whitening salon, we can use the revolutionary Zoom!® 2 system to safely and dramatically restore whiteness to your teeth in less than 60 minutes while you lay back, relax, and listen to your favorite music. We can also provide you with a custom take-home tray whitening system, so that you can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home.
Your overall appearance can benefit from a healthy, symmetrical smile filled with vibrant, radiant teeth. A smile makeover combines treatments such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, gum lifts, dental crowns, dental bridges, and dental implants with other dental disciplines such as orthodontics to create a uniquely beautiful smile. Your smile makeover will be tailored to your precise needs and goals, with Dr. Shanard recommending those treatments that will most effectively allow you to achieve the smile you have always wanted.
Many consider long, healthy teeth to be a quintessential part of a beautiful smile. If you have a “gummy” smile, uneven gum tissue heights, or gums that cover too much tooth, Dr. Shanard can contour the gums so that more of the tooth is exposed, giving you a symmetrical and youthful-looking smile. This is typically done with a laser which causes very little discomfort.
Everyone deserves to have a beautiful smile, and you deserve the best dental experience possible. Dr. Shanard has the compassion and expertise to provide you with both.
