Cosmetic and Restorative Services

You no longer have to live with a smile you are unhappy with. Chipped or broken teeth, discolored teeth, unsightly spaces between teeth, mal-alignment, short or long teeth, or bite problems can all be improved.

Our approach to restorative care is conservative, we retain your natural tooth structure whenever possible. When teeth show evidence of decay or structural problems, a range of restorative techniques can rebulild or reinforce your teeth and return them to function without compromising your appearance.

An attractive smile is the result of many factors which can be altered and enhanced by cosmetic dentistry. However, creating the look that's right for an individual is no simple task. It requires an expert knowledge of materials, procedures, and new technology systems, not to mention an eye for color and shapes. That's why Dr. Langguth has invested the necessary time to receive hands on training at the side of some of dentistries top experts. Plus, he's careful to stay on top of the latest materials and techniques giving you the best options for treatment.

For cosmetic dental procedures, we take the time to learn and understand your expectations before developing and presenting you with a treatment plan, so you can make informed choices. We consider your goals for your appearance, the time you have available to spend creating and caring for your smile, and the financial investment you wish to make.

We offer a wide range of cosmetic and restorative choices to fit your individual needs.

Tooth Colored Fillings: These restorations are more esthetic than the traditional "silver" fillings and are often an option. They can allow for a more conservative removal of tooth structure and match your natural tooth color.

Tooth Whitening: You can brighten your smile safely with a doctor supervised at-home procedure , for which you wear a custom retainer either while you sleep or for a limited time during the day. An in-office procedure can be used in some occasions to expedite the process.

Bonding: The use of composite resins, that are tooth colored materials, allows us to change the shape or color of teeth and even fill in spaces between teeth. In some instances we do not need to remove any tooth structure to accomplish the change.

Porcelain Veneers/Laminates: A veneer is a thin facing placed on the front of a natural tooth. These porcelain laminates can alter contour, spacing, and color, providing a conservative approach to perfecting your smile.

Crowns, Onlays, and Inlays: When more significant tooth restoration or recontouring is called for, all-porcelain or porcelain fused to metal crowns restore both esthetics and function. Porcelain or composite onlays and inlays can be utilized to restore a natural look and function to teeth that require partial restoration.

Bridges: Bridges replace natural teeth with natural-looking teeth and are permanently cemented to adjacent teeth.

Dentures and Partial Dentures: These can replace multiple missing teeth and are appliances that are removeable.

Dental Implants: Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, which are then restored with crowns, bridges, or even dentures.

Root Canal Therapy: Root canal therapy can treat an uncomfortable or abcessed tooth and allow the tooth to remain and be comfortable.
