Cosmetic Dentistry is general dentistry with an added dimension—besides all the functional requirements, the dentist must pay close attention to the appearance of the dental work.

People seek cosmetic dentistry for a variety of reasons. Some people simply want to look younger, and cosmetic dentistry is like a dental facelift that can quickly "reverse" the natural aging process of the teeth. The majority of people have had unattractive teeth their whole lives and have always felt self-conscious because of them. They will rarely smile, which can often hide a warm side of their personality.

Modern dentistry offers a wide variety of treatment options for people seeking to enhance their smile. The options range from porcelain veneers to tooth whitening. In many cases, a combination of these techniques is required to deliver the best results.

Inlays, Onlays and Crowns

Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown. Inlays, onlays and crowns are usually made from porcelain and usually prepped and impressions sent to a lab,but here at Boyett Health Services, we use our One Visit Cerec to design and mill a porcelain inlay, onlay or crown that matches your natural tooth color and you leave the office with a completed restoration. Because our porcelain inlays and onlays match your tooth color, they are often used to replace metal fillings for patients who desire a more natural looking smile.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are custom-made porcelain wafers that the dentist places over teeth to enhance their appearance and also to repair damage. Veneers can dramatically change a person's smile and help improve their self-confidence. Our office offers one visit Cerac porcelain veneers.

Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening involves the use of peroxide-based materials to whiten teeth. Most dentists use an at-home whitening system to achieve the desired results. Before tooth whitening, the patient must get all cavities filled, and the gums must be healthy. At-home systems most often use 10 to 20 percent carbamine peroxide gels to oxidize stains. The dentist makes impressions (molds) of the mouth, and then has soft mouth trays made. The patient is fitted with the trays, and then is instructed to place a thin ribbon of the gel into the tray and wear each day for an hour.

Sedation Dentistry
We also provide oral and IV conscious sedation for the patient who has increased anxiety associated with dental work.
