As an Austin Cosmetic Dentist I have often described cosmetic dentistry as an art and a science. As a sculptor for three decades and as a cosmetic dentist I particularly enjoy working with form, symmetry and color within the context of the “frame” of the lips. Through hundreds of hours of continuing education, including the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, I enjoy being able to understand and deliver what our patients are looking for. The key is discussing what your concerns are, understanding the aesthetic and functional issues at hand, and then identifying the aesthetic treatments available.
Examples and potential remedies
“yellow”, discolored or stained teeth In-office whitening or at-home whitening systems Microabrasion of discolorations of teeth- This procedure requires no anesthesia Porcelain veneers “gaps”, crowding or asymmetric
-- Cosmetic contouring -- Composite bonding--This also requires no anesthesia -- Orthodontics -- Porcelain veneers Teeth appear “too short”--“Gum lift” –often a “gummy smile” hides naturally longer teeth- With this procedure a portion of the gum is removed making the tee to appear longer. --Porcelain veneers In order to determine which treatment will be best for you my staff and I, through photography and “mock-ups”, can give you a sense of how these changes will greatly improve your smile. When looking for an office that offers experienced and artful cosmetic dentistry in Austin Texas, look no further.
