Beautiful and Natural-looking Smiles

Preston Dental knows that when you have a confident smile, you feel and look good! That is why Preston Dental emphasizes the aesthetic in all of their work. The combination of preventative care, tooth-colored fillings, and restorative techniques will help you reach better dental health.

One treatment for a natural-looking smile is to replace the standard silver-mercury filling with white bonded fillings. The white bonded fillings look better, contain no metals, and can help strengthen your teeth. The metal in standard fillings is not tooth-colored, and does not bond as well to teeth. It eventually decays and can leak into the tooth. White bonded fillings bond tightly to the healthy part of the tooth to better eliminate the chance of future decay. These fillings are just one way that Preston Dental wants to help you achieve a beautiful and natural-looking smile.

The Truth About Crowns

Making crowns for teeth used to be a complicated process. The "usual" method involved taking an impression of the tooth and sending it to a lab where it takes a long time to create the crown. While waiting for the crown, the patient would wear a temporary crown, which didn't look good and could break easily. Only after the lab-made crown is complete can the patient come back for a second or third visit. Thank goodness these days are over!

Using E4D technology, the worn, chipped, or decayed teeth can be replaced with perfect tooth colored restorations. These restorations are bonded to the teeth and can last for years and years. E4D technology also allows us to complete the whole process in just 1 visit! You will leave with your permanent teeth with no need for a temporary crown. The result is a beautiful, strong, and metal-free crown restoration. Have no fear after the restoration and eat normally right away. E4D technology offered by Preston Dental is the best option for tooth restoration.

Crowns are No Longer Complicated

Making crowns used to be a complicated process. This process usually involves taking an impression of the tooth, sending it to a lab, and waiting while it takes up to three weeks to actually create your crown. In the meantime, you wear a temporary piece that does not look good and can break, and you need to return for a second or even a third visit!

Thank goodness the process has been updated with E4D™ technology. Preston Dental uses E4D™ technology to replace worn, chipped, or a decayed tooth with perfect tooth colored restoration. These restorations are directly bonded to the teeth, and last for years and years! The best part is that we do it in one visit while you wait, and you will leave with our permanent crown.

Have Straighter Teeth in Six Months

Think you might need braces, but don't want to suffer through months of braces as an adult? Did you know you could have a beautiful smile quickly and comfortably? Preston Dental is proud to offer Six Month Smiles as your answer. If your teeth have gaps, or are crowded and overlapped then Six Month Smiles is a good option for you. Most cases can be completed in six months or less!

The process is done by gently moving the teeth that are visible in your smile to the desired position. Six Month Smiles utilizes invisible clear braces to gently straighten and align teeth in an average time of six months. You can hardly see the clear or tooth-colored bands that are used. Not only can this be accomplished in a short time, it’s also much more comfortable than traditional braces. So you can say goodbye to the “tin grin” and have gorgeous, straight teeth in months instead of years! Not everyone is a candidate for Six Month Smiles, so call today for a complimentary consultation.
