Why a Beautiful Smile Matters

Sometimes people feel reluctant about getting cosmetic dentistry because they have been told it’s vain. However, there’s nothing more important than your relationship with yourself. If you don’t feel comfortable looking at your smile in the mirror, improving your smile can dramatically improve your quality of life and make a difference in your relationships with others as well.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Do for You

With the help of Dr. Skowronski can dramatically transform your smile, correcting most concerns you might have about its appearance. It can improve the appearance of:

  • Discolored teeth
  • Chipped or worn teeth
  • Small or poorly shaped teethCrooked, crowded, or gapped teeth
  • Missing teeth

In fact, with cosmetic dentistry, we usually have multiple options for addressing each of these problems. For patients looking to whiten the appearance of their teeth, Zoom II teeth whitening is an excellent option. The procedure is done in office and takes about 2 hours. Studies have shown, most patients are able to whiten their teeth by up to 5 shades.

For patients who have teeth that appear to be chipped, worn, genetically small or even poorly shaped, porcelain veneers are an effective and esthetically pleasing option to enhance a patient’s smile. Porcelain veneers give the most attractive, longest-lasting results. Our dentist is skilled in the field of cosmetic dentistry and has trained under some of the best esthetic dentists in the country. He is proficient at a minimal prep technique, which allows patients to be able to preserve their natural tooth structure.
