Cosmetic Dentistry

This is one way to quickly get that beautiful smile. Veneers and Laminates, also called Porcelain Veneers, are a thin custom-made shell of porcelain or resin that is bonded to the surface of the teeth. This can change their shape, shade, and position to improve the cosmetics of your teeth and smile. They are also used to replace and restore any lost tooth structure where indicated.

An alternative to veneers in some situations is Cosmetic Recontouring.  Cosmetic concerns with some smiles can be corrected by simply smoothing the teeth in some areas and adding composite fillings in other areas to reshape or “recontour” the teeth to a more ideal shape.  This option is more conservative than veneers and can give an excellent result.  Contact our office for a consultation to see which option might work better for your smile.

We have a variety of professional whitening options to help you get your smile brighter.  Our take-home whitening system uses custom trays which we can make by digitally scanning your teeth.  You can use the trays at home for several weeks to get excellent results and then keep the trays to maintain your bright smile from time to time.  Alternatively, if you need to whiten your smile quickly for a special occasion, we offer Opalescence Boost In-Office teeth whitening which can brighten your teeth safely in one visit without exposure to UV light.

 When considering tooth fillings, one of the options available are composite fillings which are made from durable plastics that are similar in color to natural teeth. Because the composite fillings are tooth-colored, they look more natural and are less noticeable compared to other types of fillings. There are other advantages to composite, tooth-colored fillings, most importantly the capability of bonding to tooth structure.

If you want to restore your smile, you may need a crown to cover a tooth to help restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown (cap) is a restoration that is placed on teeth that have lost a lot of their structure. There are various types of crowns, ranging from full porcelain to full metal. Your dentist will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each kind for you.

Dental Implants are the most innovative area of dentistry and they are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Dental Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances. At Windermere Dental, our goal is to enhance your smile to give you confidence in your appearance, and to ensure you are able to eat and function normally.

 Inlays and Onlays are lab-made restorations that are placed on teeth when the cavity or lost tooth structure is too large to be restored by a simple filling. The process of making an inlay is very similar to a crown. After the tooth is prepared, it is cemented or bonded to the tooth. There are different materials that inlays are made of, including gold, porcelain, and composite resins.

We specialize in Dentures and the restoration and replacement of broken and missing teeth. At Windermere Dental, we create removable, and implant-retained dental appliances, including partial and full dentures, using modern materials to create beautiful custom dentures.
