Smile Makeovers!

Preston Dental Center knows that when your smile looks good, you feel good! Modern smile makeovers are easy, affordable and natural-looking. You’d be amazed what crowns, bonding and whitening can do for your smile, and your overall appearance.

Nothing speaks for your health, youth and vitality like your teeth. The reality is, as we age, so do our teeth, and a large part of the image that we project is through our smiles. Stained, crooked, broken or damaged teeth can make you and your teeth look older than you are. Nothing conveys confidence better than a polished, winning smile.

Room for improvement: Old methods get a makeover

Obtaining that gorgeous smile has only gotten easier. Advanced methods in dentistry have sped up procedures, making them safer, more comfortable, and sometimes cheaper. If you’ve looked at cosmetic dentistry in the past, it’s time to look again. Many improvements can be done now in only a day!

Fillings: Did you know that metal fillings do not bond well to teeth, so that decay eventually leaks into the tooth? White bonded fillings not only look better, matching your tooth color completely, but they bond extremely well, so there is much less chance of decay. They can, in fact, strengthen your teeth.

Braces: Six Month Smiles is a cosmetic braces system that straightens teeth in six months or less. Compare that to years with traditional braces! Also, Six Month Smiles uses clear or tooth-colored bands that are much more comfortable, and can hardly be seen. Invisalign is another popular option also available at Preston Dental Center, using clear, removable aligners, and it takes about half the time of traditional braces.

Teeth Whitening: Zoom2 Teeth Whitening does exactly that-zooms you through the process of tooth whitening. In only one office visit, in less than an hour, you can have brilliantly white teeth. Compare this to older processes that involved weeks and weeks of trays and gels that leaked into your mouth-yuck!

Crowns: Crowns are used on damaged and/or decayed teeth, and could traditionally take up to a month, including multiple doctor visits and wait time. E4D crowns are made in only one visit, while you wait. They replace worn, chipped or decayed teeth with perfect tooth-colored restorations and are bonded directly to your teeth. Beautiful!
