You know it when you see it - that brilliance of a beautiful, bright smile and the confidence within. Imagine feeling that confidence emerge as you flash your enhanced smile for the first time! That's right, you know it when you see it, and you feel it when you have it! With the technological advancements available to you in the specially trained hands of your dentist in Oklahoma, your movie star appeal is just around the corner. From simple procedures to more involved smile makeovers, imagine the possibilities no more.

Most smile makeovers you see on television are created using porcelain veneers, which are thin strips of porcelain custom designed to fit on the front of your tooth. Veneers are made to resemble real teeth in size, shape and color and are cemented onto misaligned, damaged or discolored teeth to dramatically improve your smile's appearance. This noticeable, impressive change in the appearance of your smile typically for years and maintains natural looking color and texture.

Tooth Whitening

Imagine removing surface stains and having the white smile you had when you were a teenager! Anyone can have the confidence that comes from having a bright, white smile. Tooth whitening with Zoom!™ is safe, effective and long lasting. This powerful, in-office procedure produces fast, dramatic results. The dentist applies a specialized gel to your teeth for about an hour. During that time, a specialized light source interacts with the gel to break up even the strongest stains and discoloration. By the end of your appointment, you will be proud to flash that stunning, white, refreshed smile! Some doctors also offer a take-home whitening option. This do-it-yourself process is administered in the comfort of your own home and often while you sleep.

Porcelain Bridges

Do you have missing teeth? If so, you may be aware that other aspects of your smile and oral health change after tooth loss. You chew differently, you may have pain, remaining teeth shift; and frustrating gaps and spaces occur in your mouth as your teeth move to compensate for the lost teeth. You must feel comfortable, to look your best and to have a sense of confidence at all times. So, doctors help some patients find a solution in a porcelain bridge that they custom design to keep your smile aligned, your bite functional and your comfort intact. How does a bridge work? They're basically anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. They are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.

Porcelain Crowns

Your teeth endure a lot of stress over a lifetime which can show in many ways. Chipping, cracking, discoloration and decay can all be caused by this stress; Crowns are the perfect solution. Crowns restore your teeth and smile to look brilliant once again. Porcelain crowns can be made out of porcelain fused to metal or all porcelain and will be shaded to match your teeth. Crowns made of precious metal (gold) are also an option. After tooth preparation, crowns are specifically fitted to restore functionality and enhance the appearance of your smile. If you have pain when chewing or temperature sensitivity, ask if crowns might be the best solution for you.
